As a mixed race person you would be a fool to mis-construe my question for spitefulness, as my own person mental fortitude development since age “9” was inspired by the likes of Angela Davis and Huey Newton (yes! I know about his troubled personal life but that is irrelevant) as these are some of the people I respect immensely trailing competitively behind brother Malcolm,Walter Rodney, Sista Souljah, Assata Shakur, and Winnie Mandela etc.

My pointing this truth out does not mean that I am angry either, just surprised to see over my life time a high number of mixed race individuals intentionally opt to favor their “oppressor” side and on occasions even be intentionally nasty/hateful to their “oppressed” side when they should have had compassion for and aided their oppressed side.

So instead of fuming at my question lets look in the mirror and try to objectively and honestly find ROOT CAUSE answers to this strange human reaction to human negative constructs. After all, “RACE” itself is a European CONSTRUCT.

A sea of endless lies have been told, polished/embellished, maintained and steered. Now only we the people by honestly facing these lies and intentional mental distortions can we TRULY start addressing issues and correcting them for the good of humanity. You do not correct problems by “denying” them or neatly sweeping them under the carpet.

I am YOU and YOU are ME neither myself or anyone here on DACO hates you we just want those of you harboring this unfortunate state of being (as like I said I know a number of mixed race people who DO NOT suffer from this so there is no generalization done here) to be objective to reality and avoid invoking deep seated hate to your “oppressed” side as we are ALL in this thing together!

Some questions may make us feel uncomfortable but the more we avoid them the more we feed the beast! This is NOT an attack on the African woman but rather it is an honest pointer to reality as if we truly want to be PROUD of ourselves then we need to start being OURSELVES and we all know fully well that the wig is part of the dehumanization maintenance factor (irrespective of how we try to “justify” it) and it is something we all need to step back and do our bit to address. For those still in defensive denial let me ask ALL you females on simple question. If you were to see me walking down the street with my hair in James Brown “perm” or me having some horse tail wig on my head as a MAN WHY is it that you would be the very first to sniggle and giggle at me for being fool-hardy? Yet you justify the horse tail on your own head? There so many other ways to “beautify” yourself if you so need it:

Come on, it is time for us to face our own reality and genuinely stand up and be PROUD of WHO WE ARE, WHEN WE ARE, HOW WE ARE, and WHAT we are!

Nigeria was a name derived form the colonial masters “niggar area” yet as known as this is not one person that came into position of power or authority saw it prudent to change the derogatory “name” yet they were quick to shout “Racism” on economic issues. A younger generation need to know these truths and need to start discussing it with themselves daily so as to better mentally position themselves when their turn comes to occupy positions of power and authority/leadership.

Nothing irritates a person more then repeatedly hearing the word “SORRY” as by that time the damage has often been done with some one having to either absorb that damage or be terribly impacted by it. The number of times I personally had to “absorb” other peoples foolish “sorry” is alone disturbing that it has forced me to wonder why is it that so many people fail to “think and Analyze” prior to acting or running their mouth? No one is perfect, and we all make mistakes BUT repeating/doing something over and over again is NOT a mistake that is a bad habit. Thus, surely there is a way to help the majority habituate prevention as a daily strategy rather than wait/hope upon a possible cure for things?

Each time I see videos like this I wonder how can we genuinely provide a way out for so many that are (often due to the legacies of colonial rule) just having their lives languish in a sea of stagnation and under-development. It may seem comforting to give “hand-outs” but the sad truth is their lives still go on and is and no real change ever occurs. There has to be a better way hopefully those in this community can come up with practical ideas as decades of hand-outs has not helped.

For Development to take place it needs people who have the CAPABILITIES/SKILLS to “fish” (so to speak) and NOT those who are recipients of “fish”. We need to figure out a way to do the one main thing our parents and grand-parents FAILED woefully to do and that is to SKILL the majority of the PEOPLE so that they are self-sufficient.

Sadly, many of our leaders at colonial independence LEFT THE CONTROL and SUPPRESSION infrastructure in place so and many even “strengthened” them belittling the people even more to make them totally subdued to near slavery. We need to REVERSE this trend and eliminate the legacy inherited MINDSET of seeing our own kind as “threats” to be controlled and subjugated and instead see them as ASSETS worth investing time, effort and resources into to get them up to a high standard of both thinking and DOING:

The business of Kings & Queens is SERVITUDE Africans do not want to go down the same path as their COLONIAL MASTERS that subjugated them let us learn form that past/history and actually CHANGE history for the better:

The question we should all first ask ourselves is who gives the person who gives me a job a job?

Thus, why are we conditioned via school and the mass media to pre-suppose that we have to go with hands wide open “LOOKING” for a job? Notice how neither the state, the educational system nor the media seems to point us (or encourage us) to figure out ways how we can generate our own income without leaning on the state system? If you have LAND, A LITTLE FAMILY TLC, TEAMWORK CAPABILITIES, WILL POWER, and are RESOURCEFUL/INNOVATIVE in thought what is wrong with you and a few friends teaming and starting up your own business projects and generating your own income? Genuine INDEPENDENCE starts with you and your own MINDSET!

At first this question may seem like a stinging indictment on those who labelled themselves as “white” but it is not! Rather it is a question filled with HONESTY. If Humanity truly wants to become HUMAN these sorts of questions do need to be tabled for discussions because you cannot imp[rove if you sweep under the carpet vital ROOT CAUSE questions. The sooner we all learn to genuinely (not smoke screen by throwing in diversions) our reality the sooner humans can start to learn to live in peace among each other truly respecting each others diversity and not abusing it. If you want a “Better” world start by being HUMAN.

Clearly the once structured organization known as Organization of African Unity (OAU) as a brain-child of the then leadership at so-called “independence” of African nations was conceived as a tool and strategy for one day attaining the unification of Africa BUT sadly has failed woefully to achieve its intended objective as it has now ended up with a new name, a new set of colonial masters dangling the strings with puppets leaders and administrators all via for more western “donations” with incredulous ingenuity of begging mechanisms (as now the “shadow colonial masters” have tossed a permit token for “economic” unification and everyone is jumping up and down with joy when a one world governance was being gently planned and instituted behind the scenes) .

Thus as AFRICAN people we now are at a cross-roads and need to figure out by ourselves HOW we, the people, can TRULY foster and habituate a UNITY of Africans in Africa as well as those in the Diaspora rather than simply paying lip-service to the concept of Unity. no ONE (or group) is genuinely going to UNIFY us as that is something ONLY WE can DO

We have spent most of our years trying to “understand” the challenges at their roots that time and age is no longer on our side: It is now up to you the younger generation to take the pointers we leave and to carry on form where we left off and figure out a way to genuinely UNITE Africans and its people globally. Simply start here by putting your brain to the thinking test and see how resourceful and creative your own thinking can be on a much needed topic! Put in the effort to roll this reality through your mind form time to time as you have the creativity and the will so just dig deep and over time the practical answers shall flow form you! Always remember: If you NEVER think about it then there will never be ideas or creative ways to achieve UNITY…so THINK because YOU are AFRICA and AFRICA is YOU and AFRICA needs your practical and objective THINKING POWER!
