Due to our centuries long exposure to the dehumanization, subjugation and Controlling efforts of virtually all other races Africa people have been subject to a horde of brainwashing techniques such as education, religion, brutality, fear, terror and direct coercion through debasing political governance and economic strangulation yet somehow we have survived. To this end peeling back the accumulative layers requires a re-evaluation and honest appraisal of our current standing as a people and one of the major stumbling blocks to that has always been our own very inherited (in various ways over the centuries) organized and un-organized forms of education. That time has come for us to deconstruct ALL the constructs that have been systematically imposed on us over the centuries in various ways. Put your brain to work and let us find answers to this particular question as best as we can (remember no regurgitation of text book read stuff…be original in thought).

This is a TRUE STORY and one that stayed in my mind for decades as I had hoped one day outside of class to meet this fool called TULA and ask him WHY he would see it beneficial to HATE his OWN KIND (worse still to even “discuss” it with some “white” South African girl whose parents had also “left” South Africa at the time of conflict in comfort and where living in a comfortable house in their new found country while he (Tula) was dumped in a dead-beat one room squat as a refugee) while doing his utmost to be “near” and “Liked” by the very same people who tortured him while intensely “Hating ME” simply because those who labelled themselves as “white” tortured him and they did not TORTURE ME in his distorted mind?

Sadly, semester ended and because I never wanted to cause a scene in class (as the last thing that I ever want is to be seen in dispute with my own kind giving “other” the opportunity for morbid joy) I never got the moment in time alone to meet this TULA fella beyond in the class where often he sat his distance as I certainly would have loved to know what makes a man degenerate to this low level of SELF-HATE. anyway, I do hope some one in this community can provide an answer befitting (beyond regurgitated text-book stuff) so I can find some solace to this sheer human stupidity!

The concept of “law” has played a major role in both the subjugation and dehumanization of those labelled as “Black” thus it is time we took a few steps back to truly understand its roots, its control mechanisms and it value applicability! Hopefully, the more astute amongst you in the community will be able to see beyond your mis-education and address this topic form an OBJECTIVE and HONEST appraisal and not from the bias of your particular study. The purpose is to free the mind from embedded pre-suppositions and analyses critically the role of the legal system as known to date and to place it in the domain of Africa, its people and its relevance or need for change. Yes! we know that these are not easy questions to be honest about as many of us are indoctrinated and blinded by our very education and professions but it is hoped that within the community a few astute individuals will be able to honestly and objectively provide directives for a younger generation on this topic (please! no regurgitated text-book content just be honest and objective in any analysis that puts things into proper context) when they answer it!

The nuances of the outcomes of the inter-actions with europeans over centuries have never been fully understood, studied or acknowledged., Here we hope that the more astute amongst you in the community will be able to provide others a deep dive understanding of many of the legacies of the impacts (high and low) of African people having the sort of interaction that they have had with europeans over the past centuries. Only when the true (and full extent) depth of mental understanding of this interaction is grasped by the overwhelming majority of African peoples globally only then can everyone put into proper perspective their true positioning as human beings on this planet. We MUST start understanding WHERE it all went WRONG for us to be able to genuinely address all that needs to be addressed to ensure our future existence on earth.

A much needed understanding of the “How” human constructs are constructed and the “how” they get applied to society in addition to the “who” of the present day constructs that have for so long dominated the global perception of “African originated” people globally and contributed to the stifling of any meaningful African development locally on the continent level or globally as in the Diaspora! If you can help simplify the understanding of such concepts and their real-world applications for the community kindly do so as like always “knowledge” is power and detailed understanding provides the depth of mental fortitude needed to ensure one generation benefits in wisdom and skills from the one before it

The story of what is today called Africa is really the “Story” of the Conquerors version of Africa. But if we were to honestly look back setting aside our western educational biases and indoctrination/,mis-education we could deduce that Africans existed prior to european contact and did so peacefully (neither slavery or colonization could have been possible if Africans prior to european contact were a “War” mongering people so to say otherwise is nothing short of a distortion of reality). So the real question becomes one of HOW did those pre-european interacting Africans truly live in peace among themselves even though they never saw themselves as a Race ? (bare in mind that “race” itself is a western construct). By us spending brain cell time on these sort of deep dive questions we slowly start to deconstruct the “Construct” that was constructed to both mis-educate us and keep us in mental bondage.
