Should Afrikan Souls Attempt to Escape Their Naturally Brilliant Selves and Divest to Regress in Contempt of Remembering Themselves?

Remembering the Great Omowale Malcolm X

By grand orchestration of the Creator Supreme, Afrikan souls
are naturally a people of superlative abundance. Whether this is considered in
terms of natural resources that can be harnessed from the soil or beneath the
soil; or, whether this is considered in the brilliant qualities of beingness
that Afrikan souls naturally carry – natural abundant living has been the
Afrikan preserve throughout the ages from the earliest of times. Accordingly, Afrikan souls naturally build in
abundance with the expression of the greatest and most long-lived civilisations
known on Earth being the result.
With the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries, others that mean the Afrikan ill have set upon this primary people of the world in the attempt to sever the natural brilliancy of abundance from the Afrikan self. Alien strategies to coerce the Afrikan outside of self, have contempt for self and contempt for remembering the self were deployed wreaking havoc in Afrikan life.
The effects of this is brilliantly articulated by the great Omowale Malcolm X who rightfully challenged Afrikan souls to determine their own thoughts enough to question the legacy of alien imposition thus:
“Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair? Who taught you to hate the colour of your skin to such an extent that you bleach to get like the white man? Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips? Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet? Who taught you to hate your own kind? Who taught you to hate the race that you belong to, so much so, that you don’t want to be around each other?”
As social media and such vehicles have become popularised, terms such as, ‘divest’ have been used to describe those that seek to somehow escape themselves in some way whether in physical appearance or the effort to find ‘intimate love’ with others beyond their own kind and otherwise.
According to a popular mainstream platform the word divest is defined with a descriptive example as follows:
“deprive someone of
(power, rights, or possessions)”.
"men are
unlikely to be divested of power without a struggle"
The same source states the word divest can also mean to:
“deprive something of (a particular quality)” or, “rid oneself of (a business interest or investment)”.
This word appears then to be an accurate descriptor in relation to those Afrikan souls that seek to divest from themselves in whatever way. For the Afrikan to attempt to flee from their naturally brilliant selves is (according to the meaning of word divest itself) a deficit on a host of different levels. Surely then such pseudo-escapist efforts are a choice act of regression at best despite any notion that the 'grass is greener on the other side'. Indeed, the great hero Omowale Malcolm X challenges Afrikan souls to examine themselves thus:
“You should ask yourself who taught you to hate being what God gave you”.
Afrikan souls must surely remember themselves, restore themselves, safeguard themselves and lift themselves accordingly throughout the various levels of the self (person self, self of the Afrikan male-female union of harmonious complementarity, self of the Afrikan family, self of the Afrikan nation, self of the Afrikan world community). To rid oneself of such life fundamentals is surely worse than self-destruction. In remembering themselves, Afrikan souls fuel their own ascension. The great hero Omowale Malcolm X insightfully reminds Afrikan souls that:
“Of all our studies, history is best qualified to reward our research”.
