Are Afrikan Souls Abandoning the Remembering of Themselves for Sensationalised Media, Likes, Views, Clicks and Cyberspace Algorithms?

In honour of the Creator Supreme, Afrikan people brought forth language and communication to humanity. From the earliest times Afrikan souls considered their language to be divine and identified it as such. Whether scribed on papyri, carved into architectural design, spoken or otherwise Afrikan communication came with vital responsibilities and facilitated the establishment, growth and development of the greatest and most long-lived civilisations known to the world. Indeed, the purposeful nature of language passed from each generation to the next and Afrikans necessarily remembered this important part of themselves with all the empowering responsibilities that came with it.

With interruption and disruption to the Afrikan life continuum such as the Maafa of recent centuries, alien conceptions of language and communication have been imposed. At a basic level and in many cases, Afrikan names and language have been stripped from the Afrikan. Thus, the Afrikan divine word has come under serious assault with the conduit for communication being this alien tongue or that with a deficit in Afrikans remembering themselves and their own language.  Here, then enters the modern notion of foreign mass media.

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X insightfully highlighted the impact such media has had on Afrikan life:

“It’s a crime, the lie that has been told to generations of [Afrikans]... Little innocent  [Afrikan] children, born of parents who believed that their race had no history. Little [Afrikan] children seeing, before they could talk, that their parents considered themselves inferior. Innocent [Afrikan] children growing up, living out their lives, dying of old age – and all of their lives ashamed of being [Afrikan]”.

According to a popular mainstream platform the word media is defined as:

“the main means of mass communication (broadcasting, publishing, and the internet) regarded collectively”.  

Whilst technologies may change over time, the fundamental importance and responsibilities of Afrikan souls remembering themselves, their language and communication surely remain true. In remembering themselves Afrikan souls can assess whether language and communication facilitates the imperative restoration, growth, development and safeguarding of Afrikan civilisation. Or, whether such means are being misused as a tool of self-destruction by proxy of others that mean the Afrikan ill.

Nowadays, the constructs of social media and cyberspace has been popularised. According to a popular mainstream source social media is made up of:

 “websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking”.

And, cyberspace is defined as:

“the notional environment in which communication over computer networks occurs”.

The ‘notional environment’, which is another way to say that such an environment is ‘not existing in reality’. The cyberspace construct is governed by algorithms, which according to the same popular mainstream source is:

“a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations”.

In this, are susceptible Afrikan souls operating on the basis of relinquishing the memory of themselves in order garnish the presumed benefits of a notional environment?   The upright progress of Afrikan souls and whatever tools they may use to reach their people, for betterment, necessary survival or otherwise surely cannot then contaminate the Afrikan into denial of self-remembrance. Void of remembering themselves, the ‘successes’ of the Afrikan can surely then only be pseudo with the would-be benefits haemorrhaged to others that mean the Afrikan ill. Afrikan souls, as a natural norm, have a continual duty and responsibility to themselves in self-knowing (and to safeguard it). The Afrikan person self, the Afrikan harmonious and complementary male-female union, the Afrikan family, the Afrikan community, the Afrikan nation and Afrikan world community naturally require Afrikan souls to remember themselves. To whatever degree the Afrikan engages with social media or not, or with cyberspace or not surely relinquishing the remembering of self is out-of-bounds. 

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X with his profound depth of wisdom reminds Afrikans that:
