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!

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.

At first this question may seem like a stinging indictment on those who labelled themselves as “white” but it is not! Rather it is a question filled with HONESTY. If Humanity truly wants to become HUMAN these sorts of questions do need to be tabled for discussions because you cannot imp[rove if you sweep under the carpet vital ROOT CAUSE questions. The sooner we all learn to genuinely (not smoke screen by throwing in diversions) our reality the sooner humans can start to learn to live in peace among each other truly respecting each others diversity and not abusing it. If you want a “Better” world start by being HUMAN.

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.

Sadly the way a person “Thinks” determines and influences their behavior:

Thus, “BELIEF” has nothing to do with right or wrong nor good or bad nor even Truth or Falsity yet so many people with under-developed brains are incapable of comprehending this reality!

A given “chair” may be colored blue but one can deeply believe that that chair is colored “red”. Thus, whether one “believes” that that chair is other than what it is, is actually irrelevant as the truth about that chair (in this case its color being blue) will always remain irrespective of the other persons “belief” that the chair is green.

Leave the domain of “Belief” for religions where there is a “NEED” to believe irrespective of truth and do not utilize “belief” in the domain of “TRUTH” where objectivity, methodology and verification is the arbiter.

Given that this platform is all about the uplift and development of those who have been labelled as “Black” it is our challenge to the community to figure out productive and meaningful ways to prevent in future the development of sub-optimal brains amongst our lot. Thus, the challenge is HOW then can we figure out a way to grow and nurture a new breed of African originated people globally who are devoid of such low-level thought patterns and thus help enhance their thinking capabilities so that they no longer become the very stumbling blocks to their own development.

This is one major stumbling block that both needs acknowledging and facing as it has been the bedrock of WHY so often we have found those who are labelled as “Black” sabotaging their own kind (and selling their souls for trinkets) in various ways contributing vastly to the under-development of their own nations and the fermentation of their own peoples thinking abilities.. Removing this sub-optimal way of thought is a much needed rescue to pave the way for positive and unified development of a people long over due for self-development.

You can build all the global “Wakanda” cities you want but until ALL the remotest parts of Africa have clean running pipe borne water, proper objective educational institutions, reliable forms of electricity, well thought-out/implemented structured transportation infrastructures, high-speed intranet connected communication systems, decent accommodation, decent walkways, proper caring health systems for ALL, and are governed humanely as well as peacefully and humanely without fear or terror, coercion, censorship we DO NOT consider Africa DEVELOPED.

Our concept/standard of DEVELOPMENT is putting the necessary EFFORT, TIME, OUT-OF-THE-BOX-THINKING and RESOURCES to ensure ALL parts of Africa is equally served with a decent right to life and living. Only then will we rest out hats down and genuinely say “AFRICA HAS DEVELOPED. It is not enough to build “Wakanda” cities of frolic for tourists attractions while the people continue to be deprived of basic decency. The same effort, thought, excitement and resources put into constructing tourist attractions for FROLIC is the same amount of thought, time, excitement and effort needed to genuinely put Africa on the DEVELOPMENT MAP. Simply think beyond your own nose and self-centeredness on this issue and come up with answers to the above question without recourse to regurgitated text-book content as when AFRICA rises YOU rise also.
