Are Afrikan Souls Abandoning the Remembering of Themselves Through Fear and Cowardice?

Afrikan souls with living knowingness of the Creator Supreme and as the first people of humanity, inherently carry a forthright, bold and courageous character as a part of their natural disposition. It is Afrikan courageous pioneering effort that brought forth the world’s greatest and most long-lived civilisations that flourished from age to age.  

With the interruptions and disruptions such as the Maafa of recent centuries, others that mean the Afrikan ill have attempted to sever the Afrikan from natural substance of being and induce traits of weakness in order to service alien domination.

“You can’t make a wise man a slave, you can’t make a warrior a slave. When you and I Came here, or rather when we were brought here, we were brought here from a society that was highly civilised…and we were warriors – we knew no fear. How could they make us slaves? They had to do the same thing to us that we do to a horse. When you take a horse out of the wilds, you don’t just jump on him and ride him, or put a bit in his mouth and use him to plough with. No, you’ve got to break him in first. Once you break him in, then you can ride him. Now the man who rides him is not the man who breaks him in it takes a cruel man to break him in, a mean man, a heartless man, a man with no feelings. And this is why they took the role of the slave maker out of history. It was so criminal that they don’t even dare to write about it, to tell what was done to you and me to break us in and break us down to the level that we’re on today”.

Despite the onslaught and not being at optimal levels of flourishing forthright Afrikan courage continued to manifest itself. The powerful examples of the Garvey movement of the 1920s and the powerful continuation for Afrikan ascension in the 60’s with Omowale Malcolm X are testaments to this. However, others that meant the Afrikan ill continued fuel any lingering legacy of inducement of fear that was a key tool in the ‘breaking’ process. According to a popular mainstream platform the word fear is defined as when one is to:

“be afraid of (someone or something) as likely to be dangerous, painful, or harmful”.

By extension, another mainstream platform highlights meaning to the associate word of cowardice thus:

“Cowardice is a trait wherein excessive fear prevents an individual from taking a risk or facing danger. It is the opposite of courage. As a label, "cowardice" indicates a failure of character in the face of a challenge”.

Are Afrikan people truly prepared to face the imperative challenge of remembering themselves? Or, has fear and cowardice so gripped the Afrikan psyche that Afrikan souls will avoid or compromise self-knowing? The great hero Omowale Malcolm X insightfully articulates that Afrikan people ought to assert their natural right to recognise and if necessary ‘call-out’ any destructive opposition to Afrikan souls remembering themselves:

“If he were made to realise how [Afrikan] people really feel, and how fed up we are without that old compromising sweet talk. Why you’re the one that make it hard for yourself, the white man believes you when you go to him with that old sweet talk. Cause you been sweet talking him ever since he brought you here. Stop sweet talking him. Tell him how you feel. Tell him what kind of hell you’ve been catching and let him know that if he is not ready to clean his house up. If he is not ready to clean his house up, he shouldn’t have a house”.  

Eternally dedicated to the betterment of his people, Omowale Malcolm X urged Afrikan souls of the world to rise to the challenge of remembering themselves through knowing of the Creator Supreme, intellectual knowing and the purging of fear.

“I pray that God will bless you in everything that you do. I pray that you will grow intellectually so that you can understand the problems of the world and where you fit into in that world picture. And I pray that all of the fear that has ever been in your heart will be taken out. When you look at that man you know he is nothing but a coward, you won’t fear him. If he wasn’t a coward he wouldn’t gang up on you…This is how they function, they function in mobs – that’s a coward. They put on a sheet so they don’t know who they are - that’s a coward”.

Only the Afrikan can remove any fear and cowardice from self. The remembering of the self in its natural norm of optimal functioning and flourishing is surely key in this. The Afrikan person self, the harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union, the Afrikan family, the Afrikan community and the Afrikan nation must therefore naturally remember self. As such, the great Omowale Malcolm X powerfully charges Afrikan souls with responsibility of knowing that only the Afrikan can shoulder thus:

“Of all of our studies history is best qualified to reward our research”.
