What of Commodity Language of Ill Between Souls in the Now?

The Maafa disruption of recent centuries has featured a litany of ill-imposed commodity language expression directed upon the Afrikan soul. Considered by others as ‘property’ and maltreated as such the use of language expression to support such disorder could be described as vile at best. The intention here is not to recount the plethora of ill-labelling replete on the overt plantation or colony, but to point towards some the more subtle means commodity language may persist amongst soul people themselves.

For example, terms such as ‘brother’ or ‘sister’ can be wonderful affirmation of endearment and oneness when expressed amongst Afrikan souls in the context of community. But what if the qualifier of, ‘my’ applied in either case carried the mis-notion of ‘ownership’? A soul consumed by contaminants of ill and susceptible to self-destructive wrongdoing could subtly say, ‘my brother’ or ‘my sister’ with a guilded undercurrent and the non-literal intent to assert, ‘I own you’, or, ‘I control you’, or, ‘I govern you’, or, ‘I am master over you’, or, ‘I am above you’ and on and on. Here, things can get become even more explicit with a term such as, ‘My n****r’. In this, disguised misuse of the ‘my’ qualifier could become part of veiled commodity-language of disorder.  

Further, if two ill-consumed souls were to meet and cross-wits, they may attempt to outdo each other in exaggerated and intangible claims of ‘ownership’. So, one soul may claim, ‘My planet Earth’ whilst the other retorts with the fantastical claim of, ‘My solar system’.   Of course, upright figurative or symbolic use of language can be powerfully empowering even in the use of the language of others. However, competition with ill-intent on the part of an ill-consumed soul who may only see the plantation or colony imposed by others as the standard of expression and scrambles for some level of pseudo-status in that ill-frame is surely self-destructive wastefulness to avoid.

The intended use or misuse of language may not be readily apparent. Yet still, it is Afrikan souls themselves that can fashion and shape their use of language to empower the reestablishment, development and growth of their self-economy. A look into the mirror of self and upright responsibility to claim or assertion, ‘My effort to empower self-economy is…’  can go a long way. From whatever real-life status, station or level and however large or small a rightful step may be, assertion for empowerment of self-economy ascension can be made for success.

Actual commodities such as that of money, assets and the like can surely be made a part of wholesome, meaningful and progressive communication of rightfulness between Afrikan souls for the betterment of Afrikan life. Afrikan life itself is never a commodity or chattel. In this regard, imposed falsity allowed to prevail will surely only perpetuate the Maafa of disruption.

No, this primary and spirit people of creation are the pioneers of culture and civilisation who as such naturally have a thriving self-economy and empowering speak. Language is a firm part of culture. If language denigrates, disempowers, denies, frustrates Afrikan life, then who’s culture is that language really a part of or empowering to? This soul people surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to realise their maximal potential and maximal capability and safeguard themselves from ascension thwarting ills.    

Ujamaa Kiburi Siku is a wonderful part of the spiritual-cultural observance calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation. It takes place in the first week of June marking the time of significant occurrence both on the continent of Afrika and in the diaspora concerning Afrikan economy. Ujamaa Kiburi Siku as with the other observances on the Afrikan cultural calendar is just that – an observance. Therefore, wherever the Afrikan is whether at home, at a community gathering or elsewhere it can be observed.
