With commentary reiterated from an article entitled Race First, first published on 14th June 2019

The primary race of humanity first to emerge from the womb of
Creation is the divine spirit blessed melanated race of pinnacle magnificence.
With the longest and most spectacular journey of all humanity this is indeed a
glorious natural, unique and glorious marathon of ascendancy with the other
more recent forms of humanity trailing far in distance only to be left in
wonder of the superlative Afrikan endowments bestowed by the Creator Supreme.
As righteous order from the Afrikan soul blesses the earth, the art of
being civilised emerges in the greatest, most long-lived civilisations to have
ever been made manifest. This divine race of exceptional genius exudes supreme
acumen throughout the sphere of upright living. Uniquely and powerfully versed
of the ethereal to determine reality willed into physicality and otherwise this
wonderful first race put the interests of their race first to ensure natural
self-determined ascendancy and divine order is maintained in the world.
Fashioned directly from the crucible of victorious phenomena of the sacred
universe, the mightiest first of people of humanity have produced great
exponents, determiners and (if necessary) restorers of their Race First
philosophy. A supreme example of in this is the great and magnificent hero Marcus
Garvey who outstandingly established Race First as a key tenet of Garveyism –
victorious fabric in the life of Afrikan people. The Kiswahili word for race is
Asili. The Kiswahili word for first is Kwanza.
The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey articulated the following words in relation to Race First, one of the core elements of Garveyism:
“In a world of wolves one should go armed, and one of the most powerful defensive weapons within the reach of [the Afrikan] is the practice of race first in all parts of the world”.
As Afrikans throughout the world in ever-greater numbers continue to lift themselves with the spirit of the great Marcus Garvey the wholesome and progressive restoration of this brilliant race of people is inevitable. The glorious Afrikan truisms of race will be.
This race is a race of the Creator Supreme – the primary and spirit people of creation. This race is the race of the divinity – a people divine. This race is a race of beingness – a melanin endowed people. This race is the race of genius – a people of superlative natural genius flow. This race is a race in motion of ascendancy – a victorious people. Afrikan people this is your race, your Asili – this is your race to run! Afrikan people you are Kwanza !
