Shared Culture of Oneness- Here, There and Elsewhere: What of Cultural Censorship?

It is natural, normal and surely ought to go without saying that Afrikan souls endorse, approve and encourage authentic Afrikan cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) amongst themselves. Indeed, for Afrikan souls to embrace their own culture is to exercise being Afrikan in first place. So, why would cultural censorship be of any concern to this primary people of creation? To examine such a question, the state of Afrikan life being plunged into dire conditions of interruption and disruption is relevant activity.

Set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill, Afrikan fullest flourishing and ascension can be undesirable - even offensive - to those same others. Of course, the natural ascension of rightful order and the progressive qualities that are naturally realised in Afrikan life on a self-determined basis are empowered by authentic Afrikan culture (creatively restored or otherwise) as a mainstay norm. Thus, for others that mean the Afrikan ill, Afrikan culture and its engagement by Afrikan souls may become a target for derailment or worse. In this, the disuse of censorship may become a tool of convenience in an attempt to deny Afrikan cultured living.

According to contemporary mainstream source the word censorship attracts the following detail:

“Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient". Censorship can be conducted by governments, private institutions”.

Is then, Afrikan culture a targeted ‘inconvenience’ to others that mean the Afrikan ill?  Further, have susceptible Afrikan souls taken on the role of censoring themselves away from their own culture by proxy? If either is true and fester to take hold of Afrikan life the results can surely be nothing less than devasting for this soul people and their natural course of rightfully ordered ascension.  

In a time when even the most cursory and fleeting tertiary aesthetics can be erroneously misplaced as being core substance to Afrikan life, Afrikan culture may become cast out of position and made vulnerable to being attacked or derailed in a stealthy, unseen or silent way – directly by others of ill or by proxy.  Cultural censorship utilised in this regard can be particularly devastating. Another mainstream source offers the following detail:

“cultural censorship is a socially shared silence which plays a critical yet often invisible role in “shaping not only private experience but also the politically charged social relationships that make up public life””.

Afrikan souls surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to secure their fullest flourishing and security by embracing their core and shared culture that empowers their panorama of upright life activities.

Thankfully, with their progressive examples of authentic Afrikan cultural restoration, shared culture can be engaged in here, there and elsewhere. The exceptional example of the Nguzo Saba and the Kwanzaa observance from which it comes are readily accessible to Afrikan souls regardless of geographical locale.

Rather than succumbing to ill-censorship, Afrikan souls can encourage themselves into cultured flourishing. It would be nonsensical, or even, self-destructive for Afrikan souls to push or peddle by proxy censorship of civilisation. Yet, this is what cultural censorship can mean in translation and in relation to the Afrikan worldview. After all, civilisation is not a phenomenon of happenstance.
