When You Put a Seed In the Soil It Remains Beneath the Soil Until the Season Changes: What of Historical Identity?

The history of Afrikan people is naturally inseparable from their authentic identity and their origin as a whole people whether located here, there or elsewhere. From the earliest of times Afrikan souls have expressed their inherent sense of shared core oneness amongst each other to establish civilisation. So much so, that civilisations of the greatest and most enduring kind became the inevitable result.  

In the contemporary world the natural core substance of oneness that Afrikan people hold remains. Sometimes it may not be openly acknowledged by this soul people themselves in any formal sense. Yet still, it can be commonly experienced in a vast number of ways from aesthetic looks to shared rhythms and others life expressions that evoke familiarity at deep and profound levels.  

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may take it upon themselves to attempt to derail Afrikan souls from their authentic history and historical identity – bearing in mind that history for this primary people of creation relates to then, now and tomorrow.   The concoction, pushing and peddling of pseudo-identities to induce division and the pitting of Afrikan souls against each other is dire effort bolstered by miseducation and other vices of ill.  

Could it be that attempts to shoehorn Afrikans into a denial of their authentic selves is a means to manufacture allegiance to a particular (say) colonising force and to obliterate the natural connectedness that Afrikan souls have with each other regardless of geographical locale? Indeed, a colonising force may even attempt to get Afrikan souls within their so-called jurisdiction to fight against other Afrikan souls considered to be a colonisation target. Or, encourage the susceptible Afrikan to otherwise support or simply turn a blind eye to the hostilities directed to other Afrikans considered to be such a target.  If authentic Afrikan historical identity is rendered to be at a deficit, the Afrikan may be seen by others of ill as more pliable to any thrust of ill-intent by those same others. 

To illustrate the importance of authentic historical identity for Afrikan souls, some definitional detail from a mainstream source may be helpful:     

“The concept of historical identity expresses the predominant function of historical knowledge in contemporary society: to tell us who we are. In explaining how the world got to be the way it is, history tells us how we got to be the way we are”. 

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X, eloquently shares his analytic insight with the following words of wisdom: 

“One of the main reasons we are called Negro is so we won't know who we really are. And when you call yourself that, you don't know who you really are. You don't know what you are, you don't know where you came from, you don't know what is yours. As long as you call yourself a Negro, nothing is yours”. 

He also emphatically urges Afrikan souls to be themselves here, there and elsewhere when he states: 

“that's what we are — Afrikans”. 

After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
