Build Where You Stand – Identity

As a new annual calendar cycle begins, it is surely important that the primary people of creation wherever they stand in the world know who and what they are. This soul people need not succumb to the vices of a state of disruption as they necessarily restore, reaffirm and assert themselves in their norm of rightful order. Fundamental to this people’s flourishing is their ability to build for themselves.

According to a contemporary mainstream source the word build is defined as the ability to:

“construct (something) by putting parts or material together”.

The same source also posits that it can also mean to:

“make stronger or more intense”.

How does this then relate to Afrikan identity? Firstly, in knowing who and what a people are can be a grand testament to their nature. For example, knowing the Afrikan self brings forth understanding of this people’s mainstay nature.

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X in bold, concise, brilliant and accurate articulation states that:

“we are Afrikan!”

and that the Afrikan man:  

“by nature is a builder”.

So, in the recovery and ascension of self, wherever the Afrikan stands the nature of upright construction can – and surely must – be revealed. Here, the Afrikan can put parts or material together to secure Afrikan flourishing as a mainstay thrust of their lives. Indeed, whether in construction anew, or that which has already partly or wholly been constructed of self-determined uprightness increased strength or greater or further building intensity can be considered to be indispensable activity.  In addition, constructions that may have gone adrift can be brought back to a straight course towards a destination of rightful order.

The identity and nature of this soul people surely ought then be safeguarded from destructive contaminants of ill from whichever vice concocted, pushed and peddled by others that mean the Afrikan ill. Miseducation, pseudo-identities set to inject destructive confusion, cyberspace algorithms that may encourage self-identity denial and reward pseudo-identity use and on and on and on. Should the Afrikan succumb to such folly they may end up: being incarcerated into self-denial being deemed ‘normal’; arguing between themselves as to whether they should be who and what they are or not; or worse.  Meanwhile, the Afrikan nature to build superlatively is stifled to state the least as the immensely bountiful Afrikan ‘breadbasket’ of natural resource in whatever Afrikan place is haemorrhaged to exclusively serve the best interests of others and to dire Afrikan neglect.    

Whether, the Afrikan is here, there or elsewhere, the Afrikan naturally builds for self-provision.  Only Afrikan souls can hold responsibility for this fundamental endeavour. In this, Afrikans can do themselves a great service in avoiding identity-fickleness where souls consumed with unknowingness of themselves erroneously suggest ‘we are not you’ or ‘you are not us’ by proxy of divide and rule imposition. This primary people ought not be bogusly shamed into a false-escape into the wilderness of self-abandonment to take on pseudo-identity and non-constructiveness. The Afrikan here, there or elsewhere can take the helm of their ageless dictum, ‘know thyself’ and build where they stand.
