Remembering the Respect for the Immediate and Wider Self  

No matter where Afrikan souls are in the world the self-cultivated respect one has for the immediate self faced in the mirror is a reflection of a level of self-knowingness with the dignity, pride and standing that comes from this. By extension, that same respect is naturally and powerfully in general terms with those of the Afrikan world community no matter wherever else located. For, to do otherwise would surely then be a reflection of some degree of self-knowingness deficit and the subsequent of lack of immediate-self and thus wider-self respect.

Unfortunately with the advent of the Maafa of recent centuries, others that mean the Afrikan ill have sought to derail the natural norm self-knowingness amongst the soul people of the world. If allowed to be effective such ill-intentions can be devastating to both immediate respect of self and the wider respect of self. Alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency surely rub their hands with glee at the prospect of Afrikan souls holding contempt for themselves in their immediate local and subsequently extending that contempt to others within the Afrikan world community elsewhere in the world. In such a dire state of dysfunction the invitation to then to pit Afrikans on the continent against Afrikans in the Americas and vice versa can be readily presented. Or, perhaps the pitting of Afrikans in the Islands against Afrikans in the Americas and vice versa. Or, perhaps the pitting of Afrikans in Europe against those in the Islands and the Americas and visa versa. Indeed, multiple combinations of divide and rule stratagem could be deployed in a state of disruption.

Yet, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can restore some semblance of self-knowingness and recultivate the natural levels of self-respect both for the immediate and wider self. The great hero Omowale Malcolm X articulated it this way whilst presenting to Afrikan souls on the continent of Afrikan itself:

“Our problem is your problem. No matter how much independence Afrikans get here on the mother continent, unless you wear your national dress at all time when you visit America, you may be mistaken for one of us and suffer the same psychological and physical mutilation that is an everyday occurrence in our lives.

Your problem will never be fully solved until and unless ours are solved. You will never be fully respected until and unless we are also respected. You will never be recognised as free human beings until and unless we are also recognised and treated as human beings”.

It would be nonsensical for Afrikan souls to abandon their identity and any level of self-knowingness simply because the challenge of rightful restoration reveals itself. The subsequent lack of self-respect could allow alien forces of ill to find a mission-buddy in pursuit of amplified destruction to Afrikan life. No, any such deficit requires greater focus, greater traction for the restoration of self-knowingness and the rightful mission for Afrikan ascension.

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X urged Afrikan souls to remember themselves wherever located in the world with some knowingness of the Afrikan continuum:

“Of all our studies, history is best qualified to reward our research”.
