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.

Sheer human stupidity has reared its ugly head endlessly when it comes to African affairs. For a while many in French colonized parts of Africa strutted around “PROUD” to call themselves French Africans even among those who had never set their foot in the colonial masters country. Thus, we have to ask where did this warped Mindset come from? Hopefully, those astute and conscious among the younger generation of Africans from former (well…They still are as of writing) french colonies can better put pen to paper and help everyone better understand the psychology behind the “HOW TO” of this sort of mindset!

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?

This one is for the more conscious and astute members of the community to tackle as you first have to peel back your own mis-education in order to construct a presupposition-less pure and objective new educational system! Thus, no more using western criterion’s to construct (thus fabricate) our own “his” story, no more imaginary war-mongering kings and queens, no more desperate associations to violent, controlling and subjugation prone “empires” ascribed by the west as “civilized”, nor more using guidelines of savagery, violence, war-mongering as criterion’s for civilization aspirations just to fit-in, time for us to simply tell the story based on truth and not emulate/imitate the lie-filled story-manufacturing history of the west.

Yes! the likes of Christopher Columbus could not and did not “discover” the Americas as there were people on the shore looking at him when his ship arrived…we do not need to go down that lie-filled self-propping story telling his-story lines….time to simply be honest and research/tell our history just as it was without the pimping of it

Astute African brains….Go for it!

The Night or DARK that is tranquil and part of creation does no “EVIL” to no one as it is “HUMANS” who put EVIL into it: Historically the overwhelming atrocities and abuse of humanity has been done by European descendant people yet with nearly every statement you hear people of european descent use to “describe” these very evils always equates EVIL with DARK and GOOD with white….this is ludicrous and only goes to unmap the depth of the self-mental amputation of thought within european descendant people which was once pointed out by Brother Malcolm decades ago. (now do not misconstrue me I know there are a few European descendants who understand this reality and make an effort to avoid it so this is not putting everyone in one basket).

It is hard to listen to some one who seems to be saying something meaningful then suddenly spoils it all by such a callous looseness of tongue. Many people mean well but sadly they seem to be dominated by their own inherent senseless indoctrinated biases. Ask yourself what really doe sit take for a person to analyze their own thoughts remembering that they are not the only thing that constitutes humanity and thus should keep things real rather than sensationalizing them.. I personally do not have the answer to this particular question so I hope I can find pointers here.

Just because you went to university means nothing when it comes to employment as an employer seeks a return for any work situation that employer may provide. Merely having a university education does not qualify anyone by default employment as employment is more related to skills or meeting the requirements for that exchange of wage for work that the employer needs.

If you do not have “skills” why then do you have an expectation of job employment. More so just because you see a job advertised does not mean millions of others do not see the same job being advertised so there is often competition for that same job. Where an employer has hundreds of candidates to chose from that alone should then even make your expectations non existent.

Only when you have a mindset that is adaptive/flexible to reality will your chances of employment be greater. That said development of a nation needs skills so if you want to contribute to your own peoples development it makes sense that you invest a little time and effort understanding what skills can help both you and your people to develop as getting skills just for wage sake does not in the end benefit you and your peoples development. Presently, there are scores of thousands of highly skilled African people providing work benefit for western companies and barely anything for their own continent so skills have to translate to being used for the benefit of those who are labelled as “Black” globally and NOT for other.

Thus such persons are truly useless to the development efforts of their continent as their skills contribution is actually counter their own peoples development. Yes! I know some of you may go on the defensive denial stance on this reality but that does not change the truth that your skills learned on a high level are useless to the contributions for your own peoples development and thus only benefits the west where you presently contribute those skills. So back to the question: So some one explain WHY should an employer employ you?
