HOW TO SAN KO FA OUR AFRIKANAME
HOW TO SAN KO FA OUR CONTAFRIKANAMES OR HOW TO RESURRECT OR RECLAIM OR HAVE , BEAR AND BENEFIT FROM OUR CONTAFRIKANAME AS OUR FREEDOM FROM THE CURSE OF BEARING SLAVE/COLO NAMES, By (c) 2012 by Prof. Afrikadzata Deku, Docteur d'Etat; Doctorat d'Etat (PhD); AFRIKALION@AOL.COM ,
The Urgent Recovery and daily Use By all Continental/Diaspora Afrikans of our Authentic Continental AfrikaName as our FREEDOM from the Insult and Curse of Still honoring the Cursed Memories of our Slave/Colonial Masters is a MUST for us all to Honor and Benefit from in dignity and pride .
For only our Ancient and Traditional Continental Afrikan names and never our Slave/colonial/Foreign/Western/Arab/Jewish Names have the power to connect us to the Power, Pride, Dignity and Security of our Three Million year old Continental AfrikaCulture, Root, Identity, Heritage which once made us the Cradle of Humanity and Mother of world's Civilizations .
Through our names we gain psychological, spiritual and social access and protection of a whole people with all their heritage, customs, traditions and values.
Our Continental Afrikan names are therefore the bridge and most powerful passport ever designed by human beings on earth to gain control and mastery of one's community and all the good things it offers its people.
Continental Afrikans in this way have been protected from danger or taken good care of just because of the way they are called.
Slave/colonial names, on the other hand, have been imposed on us purposely to rob us of our Continental Afrikan names, identity, pride, self-respect, self-worth, and self-esteem. As far as those whose names we bear are concerned, we are good-for-nothing people with no serious sense of purpose in life.
Only a dog, a cat, or a thing will passively bear the name of its master without seeing anything wrong with it let alone do something to put an end to it.
But today in USA and elsewhere, in the name of "civilizing," "developing" and "modernizing" Continental Afrikans, an entire children of Mother have been reduced to zero by slave/colonial names they love so much.
Even our leaders and scholars who should know better consider this name issue too sensitive to talk about or see it as a taboo to be left alone.
This explains why some of our leaders/scholars who call themselves "Afro-centric" see nothing wrong in preaching their gospel of Continental Afrikan Liberation without first liberating themselves from even slave/colonial names.
Liberating our precious Continental Afrikan names from the tyranny of our slave/colonial names is equally crucial as freeing our Continental Afrikan dignity, pride and power from the curse and humiliation of bearing Moslem names.
However, we are not saying Foreign and Moslem names are bad in themselves. No. Far from it.
Western names are good and excellent for Foreign people. French names for the French are wonderful. English names for the English are a great source of pride.
"White" names for the "White" are great and very uplifting for the "White" people these names are intended for.
Chinese names are glorious precious jewels for Chinese people. Japanese names do honor to Japanese people.
Jewish names put the stamp of immortality on Jewish faces for life. Moslem names are a great joy to Arabs for whom they are meant.
If the French, the Germans, the British, the "White," the Arabs, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Jews etc. are proud to have their own names and will not trade them with someone else, no matter what, why expect children of Mother Continental Afrika no matter where they are to become slaves, puppets and caricatures of non-Continental Afrikan names?
