Build Where You Stand – Flip-Flop

Reliability, regularity, dependability, constancy, steadfastness and so on, are all qualities important to the fortitude of superlative construction in and for Afrikan life’s upright ascension. The grand civilisations that these primary people established throughout the ages could not have been established with the oppositional categories of unreliability, irregularity, undependability, fickleness, treacherousness and so on being allowed to prevail. Fortunately, as this soul people’s grand continuum reveals their self-determined prowess of high culture empowered the qualities of rightful order that, not only gave rise to vital construction, but also its continual development, growth and security from generation to generation – and wherever this primary people determined themselves to be.

In the contemporary era one of the phrases that may be used to highlight tendencies to engender irregularity and the like is flip-flop. According to a mainstream source the meaning of the term is posited thus:

“make an abrupt reversal of policy.

‘the candidate flip-flopped on a number of issues’".

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption, Afrikan souls may be shoehorned into a imposed upon in such a way that makes flip-flopping and non-constructive expression appear to be some sort of ‘norm’. Others that mean the Afrikan ill may attempt to flood the lives of these primary people with contaminants of ill to the point where destructive chaos ensues and loose-cannon behaviours – haphazardly ‘firing’ this way or that – becomes an overwhelming feature of existence. Void of self-knowingness and their highly cultured norm soul people may abandon their natural policy of upright self-determined construction. Indeed, with intense pushing and peddling of vices of ill, Afrikan souls may be rendered ignorant to the fact that they ever had such a vital and natural policy for themselves in the first place. Hence, flip-flopping can be acutely damaging as a reflection of souls in denial of who and what they are and unrooted and uprooted from themselves. In addition, wilfully destructive flip-flopping surely only energises descent towards doom by proxy of others that mean the Afrikan ill.  

Afrikan souls surely then ought not – to their own detriment – take on the ‘policies’ of others of ill and flip-flop amongst themselves to thwart their natural ability to build. Indeed, to set an example of destructive flip-flopping in one generation could lead to the its prevalence or amplification in another. Instead, this primary people of creation can – and surely must - re-establish their self-defined, self-determined natural policy of upright and superlative construction for their ascension. From whatever level, station or status each soul can take a restorative step of progress in this regard by recovering self-knowingness and building. In so doing, destructive flip-flopping can be rightfully abandoned with the term carrying practical meaning only as an item of leisurely footwear amidst wholesome and progressive Afrikan life.  

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X with exceptional foresight, emphatically warned Afrikan souls of those that mean the Afrikan ill in this way:

“He’ll give you a solution that will put you right in his clutches”.

If the Afrikan destructively flip-flops upon the progress of self, then the open invitation to those clutches is delivered expeditiously. Soul people are the pioneering builders of superlative excellence and must recover the rightful order and expression of who they truly are whether here, there or elsewhere. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
