Build Where You Stand – Repatriation

In contemporary times, Afrikan souls are of significant number in a multitude of places around the world beyond the great continent of Afrika itself. In the Americas, in the Islands, in Europe and elsewhere Afrikan souls popularly reside. Naturally, wherever located this people are Afrikan regardless of birthplace, political boundary, length of presence or the passport of citizenship held. Some Afrikan souls may wish to make a physical and permanent return to Afrika and do so on an immediate basis. Certainly, Afrikan souls ought to be able to determine their locale and build where they stand – whether that is here, there or elsewhere.

A word used to describe the return to origin is repatriation. A contemporary mainstream source offers the following definition:

“To restore or return to the country of origin, allegiance, or citizenship”.

Unfortunately, with vices of ill pushed and peddled by others that mean the Afrikan ill, susceptible souls may erroneously succumb to deny their Afrikan-ness.  Destructively, this can be true on the great continent itself as well as in other parts of the world. In this regard, repatriation may not simply relate to a physical return to origin but a return to the natural norm of self-knowingness. Void of self-knowingness, whether the Afrikan is in Afrika or outside of Afrika, the imperative of construction for upright Afrikan ascension suffers. Further, others that mean the Afrikan ill likely rub their hands with glee at the prospect of perennial overlordship based upon an invitation to exercise ‘divide and rule’ that may be presented if unknowingness-of-self festers in the Afrikan from one geographical location to the next.  

The Afrikan in Afrika can physically remain on the continent. However, if steeped in unknowingness of self, consumed with contaminants of ill and missions to push and peddle vices of self-destruction, then upright construction can be acutely thwarted to state the least. Likewise, an Afrikan can physically ‘repatriate’ to Afrika from a place external to the continent. However, if steeped in unknowingness of self, consumed with destructive contaminants of ill and missions to push and peddle vices of self-destruction, then upright construction can be acutely thwarted to state the least. Therefore, whether the Afrikan is on Afrikan soil or outside of Afrika, a process of repatriation to self-know may be apt for effective building for Afrikan optimality to be realised. In this sense, repatriation to self-knowingness applies whether the Afrikan is here, there or elsewhere. Indeed, wherever the Afrikan is located the self-determined effort to restore or return to their knowledge-filled allegiance to construct for Afrikan betterment is key.    

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X with his exceptional analytic prowess warns  Afrikan souls of the approach others that mean the Afrikan ill take in that they’ll:

“have you walking backwards, thinking you’re walking forwards”.

Afrikan souls surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to safeguard against the destructive ills of others and not allow themselves to become tools of self-destruction by proxy. This primary people of creation can – and surely must – build in their superlative way wherever they stand. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
