Should Afrikan Souls Be Guilted Into Denying Their Identity and Origin in Contempt of Remembering Themselves?

Wholesome and rightful pride in self is a natural feature of (by orchestration of the Creator Supreme) the primary people of creation. Since the earliest of times Afrikan pride and dignity powerfully exuded from the beingness of this people of excellence and grandeur. Naturally, Afrikan souls expressed their innate pride and dignity of self superlatively in the construction of the first, greatest and most long-lived civilisations the world has ever known. By virtue of their own way of life, Afrikan souls held living knowingness of self, continually remembering who and what they are from generation to generation and age to age embedded in the fabric of self-determined ascension.

With the interruption and disruption of the Maafa of recent centuries, Afrikan souls have been set upon in vile ways by others that mean the Afrikan ill. Alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency have attempted to shame or guilt Afrikan souls out of self-knowing and memory of self through a vast array of strategies – covertly or overtly to fuel the functioning of the plantation, colony or worse. According to a popular mainstream platform the word guilt is defined thus:  

“make (someone) feel guilty, especially in order to induce them to do something”.

To strip the Afrikan of self-memory and knowing, alien forces attempted to create out of Afrikan souls less-than-self ‘objects’ to perpetually, unquestionably and exclusively toil for foreign benefit void of any meaningful or just reward for the Afrikan self. Here, their Afrikan building for self was to be completely denied.

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X insightfully highlights the continual legacy of guilting the Afrikan out of self-knowingness:  

“We didn’t want anyone to tell us anything about Afrika much less call us an Afrikan. And in hating Afrika and hating the Afrikan, we ended up hating ourselves without even realising it. Because you can’t hate the roots of tree and not hate the tree. You can’t hate your origin and not end up hating yourself. You can’t hate Afrika and not hate yourself. You show me one of these people over here who have been thoroughly brainwashed who has a negative attitude toward Afrika and I’ll show you one who has a negative attitude toward himself. You can’t have a positive attitude toward yourself and a negative attitude toward Afrika at the same time. To the same degree that your understanding of, and attitude toward Afrika becomes positive, you’ll find that your understanding of and attitude toward yourself will also become positive”.

This great hero provided both critical analysis and direction. For the Afrikan to remain in a state of unknowingness or denial of self is destructive. Yet, in restoring memory of self, the natural norm of wholesome pride and dignity can be recovered. This course has been pragmatically demonstrated time and time again. The great Omowale Malcolm X elucidates mission-compelling wisdom thus:

“This was the secret to the growth of [ the movement] - Afrikan blood, Afrikan origin, Afrikan culture, Afrikan ties. And you’d be surprised, we found that deep within the sub-conscious of the Black man in this country, that he is still more Afrikan than he is American”.

Unfortunately, there are vulnerable and susceptible Afrikan souls who may allow themselves to become peddlers of guilt by proxy of (or alignment with) alien forces. It could be as basic as projecting language to bogusly suggest that Afrikan souls who rightfully and naturally engage in the recovery and restoration of themselves, their own culture, their own self-knowingness and memory are somehow, ‘too Black’. Or, are ‘dealing with that Black stuff’ (that the ‘Black’ peddler of guilt sees him or herself as somehow miraculously aloof from). Or, that the imperative path of self-determined ascension is being ‘Blackety!’. Some peddlers of guilt will even go out of their way to fabricate ways to deny their who and what they are or verbally attack or attempt to ridicule genuinely progressive Afrikans that use Afrikan words to greet fellow Afrikan souls.  

Surely Afrikan souls ought not destructively deny, relinquish nor demolish their natural norm of remembering themselves. Here, the great Omowale Malcolm X reemphases the devastating result of such disfunction:

“In hating our features, our skin, our blood, why we had to end up hating ourselves”.

Remembering the self and self-knowingness is essential and natural functioning for Afrikan souls. Again, the wisdom words of the great Omowale Malcolm X are deeply meaningful:

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