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!

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!

That time has come for Africans to start THINKING-OUTSIDE-THE-BOX and questioning their whole development process for solutions that are practical and meet the needs of the challenges ahead. Designing ROAD SYSTEMS (and any form of system) does not have to be an “ADOPTION/IMITATION” job as with a little bit of creative thinking (and preventing back-handed stabbing/sabotage by ones own) Africans can come up with creative and resourceful ways to produce sturdy road/transport systems. For example the “creator” did not say that “ROADS” must be made from “TARMAC”? That is the systematic legacy of Colonial rule saying that. Africans need to look inward to what is in abundance. For instance SAND is everywhere and in overwhelming abundance. There is nothing wrong with Africans experimenting and coming up with tested designs that can develop road/transportation systems that are mainly dependent on sand as a raw material unlike tarmac that is OIL based (a commodity they systematically have controlled both its development and related tooling.. AFRICANS you are NOT dumb it is just that far too many of you are sitting on your back-sides waiting for Jesus Christ to pop out of heaven and come and do these things for you. Many of you have TIME on your hands all you need to complete the cycle is skills and will power to learn and implement what you may self-learn.

See these things as “challenges” and simply STEP UP to them rather than SHY away from them. Yes, we know that there will be saboteurs who will collude with the west to thwart your efforts but when more of you start THINKING-OUTSIDE-THE-BOX and start actually practicalizing what you test and do then you make it harder for even the colluder’s/minions among your own kind to sabotage things. RISE and RISE to the challenges do not just sit there complaining!! Devise testing methods and learn how to convert raw materials to finished tools as tooling is crucial to the development process so LEARN IT somehow someway!!

Every existing system of governance and all previous systems from the advent of interaction with Europeans that Africa has had has been none other than an “ADOPTION” of foreign matter. That time has come for Africans to do their OWN thinking and designing. It is because many of you have left it to the inherited colonial state apparatus to come up with governance methods for the people. Sadly, if anyone would have carefully read/analyzed their own history and that of the European colonial masters they inherited these systems of governance from it SHOULD have be clear that these systems of governance (irrespective of which “ism” they adopted) are neither for the people or genuinely by the people but rather were designed top down for a minority CONTROL of the “people” and often times systematically repressive/violent and coerce dependency based.

Thus, there is NOTHING African, or genuine for that matter, in these systems as Africans prior to European interaction lived in harmony and peace with each other as the very fact that they got easily (nearly resistant free) colonized buttresses this point as no nation back in those days of bayonet rifles and cannons could swiftly conquer a land mass as humongous as Africa if the people in Africa themselves had long been war-faring mongrels themselves. So any senseless denial argument is baseless as Africa’s colonization was not done with todays’s modern warfare tools but rather it was done virtually as a walk in the park (much of it done even before the maxin machine gun was introduced) with next to no real resistance as the inhabitants themselves were not war-mongering mongrels so resistance was very minimal and conquest pre-assured.

As the YOUNGER GENERATION you need to LEARN from the lessons of those before you and learn your lessons WELL! Those before you were a major part of the problem as many were heavily indoctrinated (education, religion and by a mere “erotic” desire to emulate the “frolic” of their masters before them), heavily mis-educated and ignorant, dubious and compromised (as such even the military had been externally trained to be violent INWARDS and ineffective OUTWARDS as they could not even defend their own countries against the weakest of western nations but could be extremely relied upon to be repressive internally as subtly indoctrinated/brainwashed by their western military trainings and steered thinking to “fear” western external intervention) making it virtually impossible to stand on their own two feet .

You are the younger generation and it is your task to figure out ways for Africa to SELF-DEVELOP without reliance on others. This is not an easy feat but it is a doable feat if you all set your mind to it rather than wasting your time excited about everything thrust down your throats from the western world. as take PRIDE and find DIGNITY in building and maintaining your own development and not simply trying to “purchase” or imitating others. Start right here by thinking critically, in-depth, Outside-the-Box, and objectively about the question asked above:

With so much intentional orchestrated indoctrination deeply embedded into the academic system that African people inherited from their oppressors one has to ask how can Africa as a society start to roll-back all the layers of mental indoctrination that for centuries has been layered on it:

This has to be done because the existing MINDSET is probably Africa’s biggest stumbling block. If at any point in time you have come into direct contact with the average African supposed scholar you would know that they seem to regurgitate virtually everything they have been taught/spoon-fed and actually know NOTHING by and of themselves which often impedes having decent discussions (the positive) together as you end up having only “debates and/or arguments” (the negative).

The depth and level of penetration that this centuries old brainwashing of the average African mindset has over the way the present day African originated person (be that an African in the mainland or an Afro-American or Afro-caribean etc.) educated in institutions (formulated on western criteria that are genuine African Self-development development content-agnostic) modelling quasi modelling themselves on inherited/”handed down ” constructs for learning behave towards their own kind greatly compounds the task making it not an easy feat. Thus,it will involve deep understanding and visualization that will need to deconstruct layers of human constructs deeply embedded within the mind prior to even putting an educational system design in place. Hopefully, the community can come up with practical step-by-step ways of achieving this.

Sadly, we seem to be the one race that failed to QUESTION the things we INHERITED. The oppressor tells us put a white wig on your head…We say Thank You Massa!! They say, create an economy for tourism…we say Thank you Massa never rationally questioning just accepting every excuse they provide as reasons. They even provide what is slated as “benefits” of us and like handicapped children incapable of our own thought and assessment we say once again…Thank you Massa!

Even 60 years after so called independence we still fail to question the sense in what we do and what we continue to promote from the legacies of our past. The sad thing is it even looks stupid let alone it being stupid! Just as we have asked the women still stuck in colonial second class citizen mindsets to remove their horse tails we ask the so called mis-educated African men in positions of authority and power to look in the mirror and admit their own stupid actions and then take appropriate corrective actions. Take the damn inherited wig OFF! Not only does it make you LOOK stupid it actually reinforces to the OPPRESSOR that you are stupid! don’t hate your own kind for being honest to you simply Look in the MIRROR and THINK-OUTSIDE-THE-BOX that was planted on you as it is that BOX that is stifling you and you in turn stifling YOUR OWN kind.

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!
