IGNORANCE OF PREFERRING 'BLACKNESS' TO OUR AFRIKANESS
DIASPORA AFRIKANS OBSESSION WITH BLACKNESS or HOW DIASPORA AFRIKANS HIDE UNDER THE COVER OF THE WORD BLACK TO COVER THEIR HATRED FOR BEING AFRIKANS IN THE DIASPORA ; By (c) 2012 by Prof. Afrikadzata Deku, Docteur d'Etat; Doctorat d'Etat (PhD); AFRIKALION@AOL.COM;
In the same vein, in our today's Diaspora Afrika especially in white America, Europe, and the Arab World, after 500 years of Arabanization and Westernization or de-Afrikanization of Diaspora Afrikans, most if not all of them consider it a great honor to gladly and zealously die to affirm their “civil” and “divine” rights, duty, responsibility and mission to he “black” in thoughts, words and deeds.
Most if not all of them are not even aware of the untold shame they cause themselves when they affirm or prefer their “blackness” to THE UGLY TRUTH OR FACT THAT THEY ARE AFRIKANS IN THE DIASPORA of which they know little or nothing of.
Some “black” scholars here and there consider it a revolutionary act and pat themselves on the shoulders when they spend their precious Diaspora Afrikan” Lives, Time, Energy and Resources in proving to themselves and their “white” citizens, that not only they are “black” and they “white” but also that “God” is “black”, “Jesus is “black”, the Angels are “black”, that Ancient Egyptian Civilization is “black” and that, it is all right, fine, progressive and positive to be “black”.
Hence, “Black is beautiful”, “I am Black, I am proud” becomes their battle cry slogan. “Black” Power Movement in white America and Negritude in Europe sprang all over the Diaspora Afrikan World to “reclaim” and “honor” their forgotten “black” World and Heritage and Power but which they erroneously equate to Afrikan Heritage and Power.
Here and there, we see, full-blooded Diaspora Afrikans uprooted and imprisoned in white America and Europe systems and institutions , ready to die and sacrifice all they have to defend their “black” right to have, attend and succeed in their “black” colleges, “black “universities, “black” schools, “black” churches, “black” studies, “black” departments, “Greek” institutes, “black” centers, “black” organizations “black” associations, “black” clubs, “black” press, “black” businesses and others to promote not their Continental or Diaspora Afrikaness in “white “America but their “blackness” which can only de-Afrikanize them deeper and deeper for their doom.
All because, the more we prefer their lie of our “blackness” to our forgotten Liberating Truth of our Continental Afrikaness at home and abroad, the more we turn ourselves into the only People on Earth whose Identity, Nationality, and Citizenship are not created, based, sustained, empowered and fortified by the limitless Power of the Continental Afrikan Land-base of our Holy and Sacred Continental Afrikan Ancestors but by a false skin color which does us more harm than good.
To continue lying to ourselves that we are “black” on the Continent and its Diaspora in the face of the obvious, is to fool nobody but ourselves. The more we die for our “blackness”, the more we legalize the lie of their “whiteness”. Our “blackness” weakens us and fortifies them. It legitimizes the lie of their “white” Superiority and Supremacy over their lie of our “black” inferiority and Zeroness.
That is why, even though, consciously, we call ourselves “black”, deep down in all of us, we secretly hate, dislike and reject ourselves as “black” and wish to be anything else but “black”. This explains why our research indicates that while less than one percent of those we call “white” will prefer to be “black” than “white”, more than ninety-nine percent of those we call “black” will prefer to be “white” than “black”.
How many times have we not heard the few of our “black” celebrities who are nothing but products of the “white” worlds say pathetically and tragically time and time again that: “I'm not black. I am a human being” or “ I only happen to be black or that we are suffering all over today's world because we are “black”, or because of the “black” color of our skin and so on, none of which is true.
Simply because., we have become doormats for others to walk over on our own Continent and its Diaspora not because we are “black” or because of our “black” skin color but because we have allowed others to replace our mighty Continental Afrikan-based Identity, Nationality, Citizenship and Power with Arab/Western/White-made and controlled false skin-based slave, colonial and neo-colonial identities, nationalities and citizenships that perpetually keep us down (black) and others up (white) for our doom and their profits.
This explains why, up till today, the Arab/Western languages and dictionaries which most “blacks” use and have been enslaved by and addicted to for their doom, being “white” means over one hundred synonyms which are all positive like being: “pure, clean, immaculate, bright, shining, ivory, fair, blonde, stainless, clear, chaste, unblemished, unsullied, innocent, honorable, upright, just, straightforward, genuine, trustworthy” and many others.
And “Blacks” who read these “white” dictionaries and books daily and speak these “white” languages daily end up programming themselves to unconsciously believe, accept and use these “white” lies as true to live by while in the same white languages, books and dictionaries that “blacks” use daily and think they cannot do without, they are constantly reminded if not conditioned to live by their “white” lie that being “black” means, being all the negative synonyms you can think of in the world include being: “evil, wicked, malignant, deadly, poisonous, dirty, unclean, burnt, darkened, unwashed, foul, smelling, foreboding, forbidden, sinister, Negro, negress, nigger, darkly, black-Moor” and so on which most “blacks” end up believing to be true even if they know it is not true but a “white” made lie meant to keep “white” up and “black down.
That is why, most “blacks” if not all, on our today's Continent and its Diaspora still continue to accept, believe, and use daily their other “white” lies like: “black and white magic”, “black Monday”, “black plague,” black curse” and the likes which are kept alive and deeply rooted in our Memories to prevent us from knowing and living our true Continental Afrika-based and oriented Identity, Nationality and Citizenship and to make us constantly hate, dislike, reject, fight, kill and destroy ourselves.
This makes us the only human group of all today's human groups on Earth who continue, to proudly prefer, love, cooperate, believe, trust, admire, respect, cherish and adore to death others at the expense of our own Continental Afrikan Self or Personality which we do not even know let alone accept, love, believe, trust, and protect.
And yet, all of us calling ourselves “blacks” today were brought or came to “white” America and Europe not as: “West Indians”, “Caribbeans”, “Negroes”, “Niggers”, “Afro”, “Afro-Americans”, “blacks” “black Americans”, “black British”, “black French”, “Black Americans” and even the new term “African Americans” which are all nothing but “white” lie-identities-based imposed on us to prevent us from knowing and living as Continental Afrikans in white America, Europe and the Caribbean.
Just as Jews are Jew wherever they are and know that they do not need to be in Israel to be Jews.
In the same way, the time has come for all the present one billion Continental/Diaspora Afrikans ( as Children of Mother Continental Afrika presently scattered, fragmentized and kept dependent and vulnerable in their today's Arab/Western prison states they are programmed to call “home”, ) to know, once and for all that, no matter where they are, be it on the Continent or its Diaspora, they are all One and Indivisible Continental Afrikans, Nationals and Citizens of our One and Indivisible Continental Afrikan Home and Motherland whom we are all called upon to come together to unify, empower, liberate, develop, enrich, protect and defend for our Total Continental Afrikan Happiness, Security and Peace as Afrikan-centric Continental Afrikans for life, in Thoughts, Words and Deeds .
This is so because, the Irish in America, the Jews in America, the Arabs in America, the Italians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Germans, the French. the Russians and other human groups in America never, never and never will they forget who they are and where they came from no matter how big, how successful or powerful they have become in America.
They still have and speak their mother tongues. They still have and live in their China towns. They still have and adore their pizzas. Even as Presidents of America, Kennedy, Reagan and Clinton never forget or look down upon their Irish Root, Heritage and Ancestral Home which they all made it a point to visit and pay them their homage as Irish in America.
But when it comes to today's Afrikans brought to white America and Europe, it is still a taboo for the 99% of them who are busy turning themselves into the perfect photocopies of the Foreign Creators and have no time to or desire to be Afrikan in any way , form or manner in their white America and Europe they become so dependent on , enslaved by and addicted to for their doom.
