Stemming The Assimilation of Alien Ideologies & Culture
anticipated and symbolized the "2000 seasons" of the attempt to destroy African civilization. In the name of "the only true religion" or "higher civilization" or "progress" century after century has witnessed the dismantling, deforming and defaming of African institutions, a necessary precondition for the more perfect exploitation of African peoples and resources. This perennial onslaught has been waged not only by foreign invaders but also by African converts to alien cultures. This attack has been intense and unremitting, both on the African continent and among those Africans of the diaspora who were dragged into the Western Hemisphere.
The campaigns waged by the colonial usurpers and slave masters against African people stand out as the most brutal wars of biological and cultural genocide ever conducted. This is the context in which we must understand the crisis of institution building among modern African peoples. The most critical African institution, the family, has been a special target in this unrelenting warfare. The African family is the foundation of African culture and its destruction is the most passionate objective of what is called "Western Civilization."- Dr. Jacob H. Carruthers from Intellectual Warfare p 270-71.
The assault upon mother Africa, her human and natural resources and the attempt to utterly destroy any vestiges of African culture has been going on now for well over four thousand years. At first during antiquity, foreign invaders weren't numerous enough to totally overrun the Nile Valley civilizations. They came as migrants, then as conquers who while they did rape and intermarry our African women weren't able to make much of a phenotypical or cultural impact or seriously alter the African flavor of the Nile Valley civilizations.
The vicious Romans who invaded the land and attempted to obliterate the ancient temples of the Mystery Schools and pedagogical traditions weren't able to make a dent racially. It wasn't until zealous Arabs invaded and overran Kmt (Ancient Egypt) in 680 AD that the racial composition began to change from totally African to an admixture of Caucasian and African. In order to undermine the indigenous African culture the invaders attempted to destroy the spiritual, educational and social foundations wherever they went.
The Romans, Arabs and later Eurasian and European invaders knew that to totally subjugate the African people they had to attack, discredit, mock and ultimately destroy the African cultural base by destroying the institutions that were the glue that held African societies together. The closing, sacking and defacing of the temples by the Romans, the desecration and marring of the pyramids and tombs by the Arabs and Europeans was their thrust to crush African institutions, symbols and supplant them with their political and cultural hegemony. If we are to recover our sanity, regain any sense of our authentic African selves and our cultural and political cohesiveness so we can mount an effective counter thrust to neutralize the Eurasians' programs of menticide, genocide and culturally induced self-destruction we have to build our own self-perpetuating, values and lifestyle shaping institutions.
It is one thing to theorize about black empowerment it is another to move consciously, deliberately and effectively towards self-empowerment and ultimately to the point we can effectively wage warfare against our enemies.
How do we empower ourselves? First by thinking for ourselves. Energy and action follow thought. We must reclaim our minds and control how we think, what we think about, what we think is possible and what we desire to bring into reality. During an era of universal oppressive conformity, thinking for one's self becomes an insurrectionist act!
However not to assert our natural inclination to be free self-actualizing human beings during times like these, is an open invitation to annihilation. So once we think for ourselves and embrace our experiences meaning we stop trying to forget the rape, castration, torture and terrorism we have been subjected to at the hands of Arabs and Europeans and we come to the logical conclusion our enemies are not going to alter their behaviors we must decide how we want to live or die. Do we want to acquiesce to the psychologically destructive and genocidal programs of our enemies or do we want to fight? To fight we must pass our experiences, our knowledge, our visions, aspiration and goals on, we must re-enforce them, validate, promulgate and promote them. We can do that one on one and that can be effective.
However to reach a greater number of people we must begin to impact the larger community and our heirs by building social networks and institutions. We must fashion our own means to tell our story, using our own inner resources to create uncompromising African centered media, newspapers, electronic means such as amateur radios, Internet Web sites, films and videos. We must create our own schools and pedagogical methods to teach both adults and children they have a God given responsibility to resist the destruction AmeriKKKa has in store for them. We must formulate our own centers for spiritual rejuvenation that do not propagate imperialistic alien ideologies.
We have a monumental task ahead of us. We have to love ourselves enough to believe we are worthy of life and being fully functioning human beings. This way of thinking is a radically liberating cognitive process which will engender empowerment on our part. However we can expect a heightened genocidal response from our enemies. We have to think for ourselves, work for ourselves, build for ourselves but live for ourselves, our ancestors and our progeny. We have to formulate ways to strengthen our families. We have to champion ways that promote, honor and support black marriages based upon social stability rather than the fickleness of infatuation, physical attraction, looks and materialism. We have to lock on to like minded black folks who grasp the need for and who are willing to establish co-operation, group solidarity and cohesion and sustained accomplishment to ensure African survival, empowerment, and revitalization. The types of institutions we create will be determined by our history, our current realities and what we need to do to restore our sanity, our will to thrive and ensure our ability to save the race. Never forget, that our enemies have their ongoing agenda for our demise.
The struggle intensifies!
