Your Culture is not an Aesthetic Take It or Leave It Fashion Statement

The pioneers of steadfast self-determined cultural development and engagement are Afrikan souls. Indeed, this primary people of creation brought culture and civilisation into being. Not only did this progressive people usher civilisation into being by the grace of the Creator Supreme, this is soul people established civilisation of the most enduring and pinnacle order.

With the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries Afrikan souls have been set upon in destructive ways by alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency. Ills to derail Afrikan souls from their own self-determined high cultured way of living have been pushed and peddled incessantly. Amongst the vices of destruction are the ill-contaminants of misandry, misogyny, feminism and the thrust for a gynocracy. Yet, it is only Afrikan souls that can restore their own self-determined cultural fibre and safeguard themselves from alien destructive ills.  

In disrupted circumstance, it can be easy to speak of ‘culture’  as words on alone. It is even easy to refer to anything that is associated with Afrikan souls whether the effects of alien ills imposed, artistic expression, or even a popular fashion fad (upright or otherwise) as ‘the culture’. And whilst upright and authentic cultural expressions are certainly important aspects of life, it is the core substance from which they are outwardly expressed that is primary. It is at the core of cultural fabric that one can find the values Afrikan people hold. It is this that is then transmitted outwardly through the various forms of life expression. Therefore, core values are key and as such ought not to be mistaken or reduced to the level of being (say) a mere aesthetic.

Hence, living Afrikan culture is never naturally considered to be merely a fad. Certainly, the construction of the grand civilisation could never have been realised on the basis of being merely ‘fashion statement’.  No, culture is the stuff of rightful rootedness and is continuous decade to decade, generation to generation, age to age.

Wonderfully, Afrikan souls have put the shoulder to the wheel of cultural restoration in powerful ways. One exceptional example, is that of Kwanzaa with its brilliantly energising symbol set and core values of the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles). Through the pioneering efforts of the Us organ, Afrikan souls throughout the world have shared and ready access to their own cultural observance, symbols and values  to engage in. And as aesthetically beautiful as the symbols of Kwanzaa are, it is through the engagement of Afrikan souls that the core beautifulness of self can emerge.

Kwanzaa then, is neither a fashion statement nor a fad because alien force of anti-Afrikan agency attempt to make it so by attempting to popularising it as such or by deploying  bogus tactics of demonisation to engender disconnection. Kwanzaa is a part of rooted and upright cultural fabric for the Afrikan world community. Questions such as, ‘Are you doing Kwanzaa this year?’ are surely nonsensical to the cultured Afrikan, for such a powerful observance period is not a jacket to wear once, occasionally, simply left hanging on the rail or appropriated and worn by others. It is not a jacket at all. Core cultural substance simply is  for Afrikan souls. 

The wonderful observance of Kwanzaa and its values can empower the various levels of the self at the rooted cultural core of Afrikan living and as such rightfully warrants levels of safeguarding it from alien talons of ill, just as it in turn safeguards the Afrikan from the dire state of cultural abandonment and the like. Progressive and upright civilised living for Afrikan souls is the natural norm as is the construction of pinnacle civilisation.
