Celebrating Focal Places of Empowerment

The concept of race has been with the Afrikan since ancient times, and certainly since the emergence of other racial groups. For this primary people of creation, can in one sense simply be a matter of observable reality and natural to see the distinct racial types. As Afrikans established the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist, they etched everlasting images upon their walls of superlative construction depicting the different racial characteristics of themselves and others. Of course, racial identity can mean much more than aesthetic characteristics in other aspects of the term. According to a contemporary mainstream source racial identity is described thus:

“Racial identity is personal development that matures over time and is affected by personal, inter-personal, institutional and cultural environments”.

To specifically address and focus upon the Afrikan experience, the alteration of this sourced meaning is considered apt. The result may look like the following:

“The racial identity of the Afrikan is both personal and collective development that matures over time through the self-determined effort of Afrikan souls. It is informed and empowered by personal, inter-personal and communal institutional and cultural environments defined and governed by the Afrikan in service of Afrikan ascension, security and fullest flourishing”.

In the unfortunate context of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls may be set upon in acutely destructive ways by others that mean the Afrikan ill, the racial identity of this soul people can suffer.  Indeed, one of the key components of their identity is their Afrikan history which may be denied, grotesquely distorted, misrepresented and otherwise disturbed through the ill-vice of anti-Afrikan propaganda. Thus, the Afrikan may be then become erroneously consumed with – and expressive of – grotesque and distorted pseudo-identities. In this, the Afrikan can become self-destructive by proxy of the divide-and-rule strategies of ill-intentioned others.

Despite the challenges, Afrikans throughout the world have courageously and knowledgeably fought to retain links to their natural and authentic Afrikan identity in the mainstream arena with terms such as: Continental Afrikan, Afrikan-American, Afrikan-Caribbean, Afrikan diaspora and so on. In some cases, non-Afrikan governments have been compelled to acknowledge such examples as ‘official’ designation.   Of course, in glorious truism these are terms that relate to Afrikans on the continent of Afrika, Afrikans in the Americas, Afrikans in the Islands, Afrikans in the UK, in Europe at large or elsewhere in the world.

Surely, this primary people of creation have a duty and responsibility to themselves to restore a level of Afrikan history (and other aspects of self-knowledge) whether located here, there or elsewhere and embrace their core oneness of being, empowering themselves accordingly. Surely, this primary people of creation need not succumb to the doom and destruction of concocted pseudo-identities and being pitted against each other directly or by proxy. Indeed, the Afrikan surely ought not become castrated into isolation within the bounds of a particular geographical locale for others of ill to take ready advantage of an installed weakness of disconnection.  

This pioneering people of culture and civilisation can – and surely must – restore, develop and safeguard their Afrikan identity to the full and build superlatively as is their natural norm etched magnificently throughout their continuum. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
