Build Where You Stand – Acknowledgement

To build superlatively - as has the Afrikan done as a continuous norm throughout the ages - there must be a level of acknowledgement of the need to build for themselves. For the sake of this people’s onward flow of maximal possible flourishing and security upright construction was necessary engagement. Wherever Afrikan souls stood, the requirements of their lives had to be catered for through their self-determined effort of building that began at the foundational level and then worked up into greater heights of achievement. For this people to have brought into being the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist, the acknowledgement to construct the facets of civilised living provided imperative impetus.

According to a contemporary mainstream source to acknowledge something is to:

“accept or admit the existence or truth of”.

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption Afrikan souls may find themselves compelled to acknowledge some ‘need’ to exclusively construct for the best interest of others and to the abject neglect of themselves. Indeed, for some susceptible souls, they may consider themselves beneath of any level of self-acknowledgement as an entity worthy of any self-defined, self-determined or self-beneficial construction. Further, such souls may be misguided to become a mechanism of ‘policing’ against Afrikan construction by proxy of others that mean the Afrikan ill.  If such circumstance were allowed to prevail, the net result would see construction of others gain momentum with the effort of Afrikan souls and necessary Afrikan construction denied. This of course would surely allow others that mean the Afrikan ill to rub their hands with glee.  

Afrikan souls surely must enact their duty and responsibility to themselves to accept or admit the existence or truth of the need to build for themselves. Here, the restoration of self-knowingness and civilised living is key from whatever station, level, status or geographical location souls may be.  

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X insightfully highlights the following:

“you’ll always be a slave as long as you’re trying to be responsible and respectable in the eyesight of your master”.

In this scenario and in light of this discussion, being ‘responsible’ and ‘respectable’ would be to exclusively acknowledge the ‘need’ to construct for others in total neglect of self and act upon it. This is anathema to the natural norm of upright and superlative Afrikan civilised building. It is surely imperative that this primary people of the world reclaim their ability to build for themselves. After all, civilisation has never been of happenstance.
