It is easy to write a book, even easier to stand up on a stage with some elongated object between our hands and mouth and sing, dance and clap wantonly about “AFRICA” but it is extremely hard to honestly face our own reality. For decades Africans have sung about Unity, Waffled on about it, Danced for it, Romanticized on it yet it is still an Illusion to be pursued. The starting point to everything and anything is acknowledgement, followed by understanding. If we do not as a people acknowledge that we truly have a problem how then can we move on to the next stage of genuinely trying to understand that problem let alone coming up with solutions to that problem? as a race globally irrespective of what designation you desire to label yourself (African, Afro-American, Black, Mixed race, Mulatto, French Black person, Black Briton, Afro Latino, Blazian,etc.) we need to find a way to do an honest appraisal of our present standing. As if we have no where documented where people can go to better understand their own plight we are just as good as clueless perpetual sitting ducks. There are many amongst you in the community that have skills and wisdom find a way utilizing the digital tools on this platform to put together a meaningful Appraisal of the present state of those labelled as Black. Once that is a practicality, nature, time and effort will take control for others to put to good use that appraisal! Before the very “appraisal” we first need to know HOW to even do one….So for those of you with wisdom lay out the steps here for others that may be struggling with ideas to use as pointers.

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:

Given the mish-mesh of present day so-called Telecom companies (with the overwhelming really being owned by outside investors and groups that have promised heaven and earth and delivered nothing worthwhile) that have peppered wireless insecure systems all over the place in a maniac unsafe manner. How can the African people go about constructing genuine ventures/projects that can network the whole of Africa via a more secure manner of wired cabling such as fiber (or any in-grown supplementary inventions) so that Africa has it s own genuine INTERNET system.

There are various ways to approach this challenge but the solutions need to be practical and secure with even distribution and genuine care for availability for all and with planning for consistent and prolonged maintenance/sustainability in mind.

Ignorance and sheer human stupidity are the hallmarks of African history since interactions with europeans. One has to ask why has there been so many individuals selling their souls and working against their own kind in various ways. The list of negative collaboration to aid and abet the dehumanization, subjugation , sodomization, economic stagnation, under-development of those labelled as black is endless. From the early soul-selling individuals that operated as @agents@ for many clandestine organizations to assist in the slaughtering/sabotage of their own kind as seen in the cases of people such as Malcolm X, Lumumba, Nkrumah, Fred Hampton, Winnie Mandela, Gaddaffi, Saro-wiya, Walter Rodney, Derwin Brown, Rwanda genocide, Dadis Stadium Massacre and rape, and a host of other incidents. Thus, we have to ask where does this under-developed mindset of treating your own kind as valueless come from. Why allow your own forces to be TRAINED and brainwashed by foreign countries as they train them to only be effective in internal use as these same scum-bags and cowards can not stand up in competition to the very western countries that “TRAINED” them to be violent and weaponized them.

There are no “heros” here just Zero’s! So we must ask WHY do our people not invest time to develop their mental capabilities rather than negatively under-developing to the point of where they not only end up hating their own kind and doing violent harm to their own kind but also plunge Africa into a state of stagnated fermentation of decay?
