OUR CONTAFRIKAROOT UNDER ATTACK

OUR CONTAFRIKAROOT UNDER ATTACK or THE CRISIS OF KEEPING CONTAFRIKANS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER AND BENEFITS OF THEIR AFRIKACENTRIC CONTINENTAL AFRIKAROOT, By (c) 2012 by Prof. Afrikadzata Deku, Docteur d'Etat; Doctorat d'Etat (PhD); AFRIKALION@AOL.COM,

A Tree without its Root is a dead Tree. You can easily knock it down. Walk over it. Put it in fire. Use it any how you feel.

On the other hand, a tree deeply rooted in the ground can stand all the pressures of the wind and storm.

You may knock it, push it, kick it, but it will stand.

The more you knock or kick a deeply rooted tree, the more you and not the tree gets hurt.

In other words, Root is power. Root is strength. Root is nourishment. Root is pride. Root is dignity.

Every being on earth needs it to stay alive. Without it there is no life, no dignity, no pride, no self-esteem, no success, no happiness and no fulfillment.

Likewise, all Jews take pride in their Jewish Root. Arabs do not play with their Arab Root.

The French, the British, the Japanese, the Chinese, etc. all have each their Roots they acknowledge and use with pride.

Any yet, when it comes to today's Continental Afrikans in both Continental/Diaspora Afrika, everything was and still being done to deprive them of the power, pride, dignity, security and happiness of their Continental AfrikaRoot.

Hence, as a result of slavery and colonialism, today's Continental Afrikans have become the only people on earth Suffering from what I call , Continental AfrikaRoot Crisis for which they have no idea or clue .

We have become the most uprooted people on earth without our least knowledge of the graves we have been digging for ourselves in our AFRIKAROOTLESS ways of life and being .

In Continental Afrika, this Root crisis takes the form of the systematic replacement of our Continental AfrikaRoot with English/French/White/European/Arab/Jewish Slave/colonial/neocolonial Roots which we have been programmed to call, refer to and die for as our own .

All because Slave, colonial/neocolonial powers and their agents in power for them all over the Continent and Islands thought and still continue to think that their slave/colonial roots for Afrika are better, more civilized, more acceptable, more today's , more appealing and worth preserving than our Continental AfrikaRoot .

As far as they are concerned, Continental AfrikaRoot is nothing but "barbaric," "backward," "uncivilized," "anti-modern," "anti-progress."

Western Root, Arab Root, Jewish Root etc at the same time are considered the most "polished," "civilized," "modern" for all Continental Afrikans to have and be proud of to be called "civilized" and "modern."

So, for over hundred years now, everything was done to deprive Continental Afrikans of their Continental AfrikaRoot.

For over hundred years now, Continental Afrikans have been taught, trained, conditioned and programmed into rejecting their Continental AfrikaRoot, doubt its usefulness, and to question its raison d'etre.

This explains why our pre-colonial Continental AfrikaRoot as Zulu, Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba, Ewe etc. have been replaced or are in the process of being replaced by slave/colonial/neocolonial roots that exist and flourish at the expense of our Continental AfrikaRoot that gave birth to us in the first place and without which we would not be alive today preferring Foreign roots to our own Continental AfrikaRoot we know little or nothing about .

And yet we all know there can be only one Continental AfrikaRoot for all children of Mother Continental Afrika.

Root is origin. And every being on earth can only have one Root, that is, one origin.

To talk of Foreign Root, Moslem Root, Christian Root, etc. for children of Mother Continental Afrika is to confuse the grain with the chaff.

Continental AfrikaRoot is Continental AfrikaRoot. Nothing less. Nothing more.

It should be sufficient unto itself - like the sun, it does not need any further addition or subtraction to be.

However, the colonial brainwashing of the Continental AfrikaMind has been so thorough that 99% of our today's Foreignized scholars and elite in power all over the Continent today will not hesitate to accept, promote and perpetuate the slave/colonial/neocolonial lies that Continental AfrikaRoot is incomplete, until it acknowledges with pride its Foreign and Moslem/Arab Root or it does not matter what Roots today's Foreignized Continental/Diaspora Afrikans decide to accept , root is root , whether Afrikan or Foreign .

But as far as our Afrikacentric Continental Afrikans are concerned, nothing outside our Continental AfrikaRoot can and should replace or equal our Continental AfrikaRoot.

Just as the French, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Germans, the Italians, the Arab, the Jews, the White man, the Elephant, the Lion, the Tree, the Bird, the Fish etc including our Ancient and Traditional Ones , all know to live without one's Root is to become a living dead , that is why none of them will prefer their own Ancestral Root to anybody's Root or Foreign or Alien Roots to their own .

In the same way, in the Diaspora Afrika, 400 years of slavery and colonialism have deprived the majority of Diaspora Afrikans of their Continental AfrikaRoot.

In its place, all kinds of Roots - Western, Arab, Christian , British, French, Spanish, Portuguese and White American etc. have been imposed on them as a way of becoming "modern" and "civilized."


Consequently, our preference of other people's roots to our Continental AfrikaRoot shows we are still ashamed or ignorant of our Continental AfrikaRoot.

And it is so because we as Continental Afrikans have bought or believed slave/colonial lies that our Continental AfrikaRoot is inferior to Foreign/slave/colonial/neocolonial Roots we now have become dependent on , enslaved by and addicted to .

This explains the eagerness on the part of most Diaspora Afrikans to claim, boast of , live and die for any other roots in the world except their Continental AfrikaRoot.

And yet, we as well as they know replacing our Continental AfrikaRoot with foreign/alien Roots can only render us living dead.

As culturally dead woods, they become easy to cut, broken, rolled down, and put in fire or used in any how to satisfy other people's interests.

Simply because a dead wood has no root to protect and defend it against the abuses of others.

Hence people without their Roots are people without life.

This explains why "modern" Continental Afrikans are the only people on earth who will do little or nothing to protect and defend the vitality and sacredness of their Continental AfrikaRoot from being stolen or defamed by others.

Because we have become so uprooted in one way or the other that we do everything within our powers to keep ourselves Foreignized, Westernized or Arabanized or Jewicized or de-Afrikanized without the Power, the Dignity, Security and the Protection from our Continental AfrikaRoot that was once , the MOTHER-ROOT of all Beings on Earth in Continental Afrika when we reigned supreme as the Cradle of Humanity and Mother of World's Civilizations.

In this way, most of us become so dead to our Continental AfrikaRoot but so "alive" with our foreign/alien Roots that we begin to look down upon brave Continental Afrikans with their Continental AfrikaRoot still intact.

In this way, we hope to please our Foreign creators and protectors , as "perfect," "faithful" and "obedient" caricatures of our present slave/colonial/neocolonial Roots.

But the more today's Continental/Diaspora Afrikans struggle very hard to de-Afrikanize or Foreignize or Westernize or Arabanize or Jewicize or UPROOT themselves by living out of tune to their Continental AfrikaRoot, the more they get pushed back to the painful fact and stubborn truth of the reality of their Continental AfrikaRoot no matter what.

There is only one Continental AfrikaRoot for all children of Mother Continental Afrika.

Whatever we have acquired through slavery/ colonialism cannot replace or equal what we were before colonialism/ slavery.

The fact that 99% of our today's Foreignized Continental/Diaspora Afrikans/Islanders bought into the slave/colonial lie of the supremacy and the superiority of slave/colonial/neocolonial/Foreign/Alien/Arab/Western/Jewish Roots does not make these alien roots our Continental AfrikaRoot .

That means, anytime we refer to ourselves as Americans, French, British, West Indians, Ghanaians, Togolese, Kenyans, Sudanese, etc., instead of seeing and calling ourselves Continental Afrikans, we are consciously or unconsciously agreeing with our slave/colonial masters that we as a people are too "inferior" and "backward" to have our own Continental AfrikaRoot.

That without their alien/foreign imposed roots on us, we will be nothing.

Hence, we prove their lies right anytime we prefer or live by their slave/colonial/neocolonial roots to our Continental Afrika Root without which we are bound to be the doormats for all Foreign Feet dancing and enjoying themselves on the carcasses of our UPROOTED Continental Afrikaness in self-ignorance .

That means, all today's Continental/Diaspora Afrikans have no CHOICE but to URGENTLY SAN KO FA or Take Back, Reclaim, Recover,, Develop, Live in Tune to our Continental AfrikaRoot as their Afrikacentric Way to Regain our Freedom from all the various Foreign roots we are have been programmed to prefer to our own Continental AfrikaRoot which once made us the Cradle of Humanity and Mother of all world's Civilizations on earth.
