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

These are NOT easy questions but we hope the think tanks, the wise and the prudent in the community will be able to answer such in-depth questions and present a mentally visually stimulating understand g for the younger generation so that they can in turn recognize and understand their own genuine history.

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.

Everyone sane can think, so there is nothing new under the sun there! However, in order to think and to make your thinking meaningful we all need a structure and format for thinking. What is the 5WH thinking framework and how best can we as African originated people put it to good and productive use to aid us in both understanding the African Development Conundrum as well as in seeking solutions to many of the challenges that face us as a people globally?

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.

How was it possible that those so-called African leaders on independence could NOT see the reality that an infrastructure of DEPENDENCY had long been established and as such what was being offered to them was NOT independence but rather merely concessions in respect of an ILLUSION of independence! True INDEPENDENCE could only be achieve IF and ONLY IF they had come together as ONE AFRICA, but instead the overwhelming decisions makers (leaders) at the time were blood thirsty for “village King” status and driven by greed of seizing a window of opportunity to become village kings at the cost of UNIFICATION and TRUE DEVELOPMENT? WHY was it impossible for those leaders to step back and not give in to their personal greed for dominance and to step into the colonial masters shoes at independence. At so-called “independence” there was a window of opportunity for Africa to genuinely become self-sufficient and develop but because ALL they (so called leaders) truly did was STEP INTO THE COLONIAL MASTERS SHOES (they left the same “subjugation/dominance” infrastructure in place to suit their own personal agenda’s) for their own SELFISH Greed and FROLIC desires. Yes the “Casablanca” group saw this window of opportunity BUT like just mentioned the majority were only interested in stepping into the Colonial Masters shoes for their own personal greed and frolic. A younger generation of African people globally need more clarity on the REALITY of that so-called “INDEPENDENCE” period and the actions/decisions of those that inherited the colonial state as there is a LOT to learn form a genuine understanding of the mindset that governed many of the so-called leaders actions. Hopefully some of the more astute on these matters in the community will be able to provide a detailed wealth of answers on this subject matter. The purpose here (and else where) is to truly deconstruct the ROOT causes of our actions and inaction’s so as to present to a younger generation an honest appraisal of our reality so that they can both LEARN form our blunders and DO BETTER than those before them.

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!

One of the biggest stomach-aches you can ever get is to witness a fan-fare of so called educated Africans debating heatedly over the “isms” as if any of these “isms” originated form them? Africans frantically “adopt” any and everything thrown at them that one has to wonder WHY? WHY can they not see that their desperation to adopt has contributed to their ability to “originate”! Hopefully, the more astute amongst you in the community can provide insights to this mental and emotional deficiency of many of those Africans who find themselves in positions that could produce positive change yet have miserably failed to produce innovative and positive lasting change for their own societies. Time for Africans globally to THINK-OUTSIDE-THE-BOX.

This question simply speaks for itself! Thus, the locals of the land must have then “DISCOVERED” Christopher Columbus huh! The “Conquerors” self-embellishing distortions of reality: Unless you lack a brain then you may not get it! Do not worry as I am not “obnoxious” just honest!
