AFRIKAIDENTITY Vrs BLACK AMERICAN IDENTITY
AFRIKAIDENTITY Vrs. BLACK AMERICAN IDENTITY , WHY AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE NOT BLACK AMERICAN BUT AFRIKANS IN WHITE AMERICA/USA/EUROPE/SOUTH AMERICA/ ISLANDS,
By (c) 2012 by Prof. Afrikadzata Deku, Docteur d'Etat; Doctorat d'Etat (PhD); AFRIKALION@AOL.COM;
You are Afrikan in USA/Europe/America/Islands and not Black because it is not true that you have a Charcoal skin color to justify you being called or you calling yourselves as Black .
In the same way, those you erroneously call and treat as “White” are not and can never be White too because they do not have a cotton skin color to justify their being called “White.”
In the same way, you my Afrikan Brothers and Sisters in USA, you too do not have a charcoal skin color to justify calling yourselves “Black.”
In other words, Black and White skin color is nothing but the White man's politics and game of keeping you forever ignorant of your real AfrikaIdentity as long as you allow him to do so.
The White man calls himself White not because he is really White like Cotton Color but because he knows, all over the world, people like the color White which they associate with the color of the Creator, angels, victory, joy, celebration.
And at the same time, the White man begins to call you “Black” not because you are Black like Charcoal Color but because the White man knows everywhere in the world including most part of Continental Afrika and Islands that the color black symbolizes the color of evil, the devil, misfortune, loss, death, and sorrow.
In this way, through the lie of Black and White politics, the White man keeps himself “White' as the Creator and angels, and makes sure he is treated as such everywhere he goes while at the same time he makes sure you lock yourself up in the prison of a Black skin color that gets you treated everywhere as evil, criminal, dangerous, fearful, threatening as the devil incarnated on earth.
This explains why ninety-nine percent of today's Afrikans in Continental and Diaspora Afrika who erroneously think of and consider themselves as Black hate secretly being Black because they secretly think there is something really wrong with their “Black” or devil skin color.
While at the same time, they long, admire, fight and die for the right to be “White” in thoughts , words and deeds for believing the White man's lie that his skin color is better than and far superior to our golden Afrikan skin color which is the color of Mother Earth, chocolate or brown but never the color of charcoal .
So the Trillion dollar question becomes, Why do you continue to turn yourselves into a slave and photocopy of a Black identity that has nothing to do with your real Afrikan skin color which is the world first and oldest skin color on Earth and the mother of today's world's skin colors ?
Besides, your Black identity is not and can never be your AfrikaIdentity in USA, Europe, Afrika and elsewhere because it is a slave-based and oriented identity that offers you not your Ancestral Afrikan Land or Base of your own to build your Black American power on to serve your Black American cause, needs and interests in White America.
And without a land of your own to call your own, all else is zero.
For, a people without their own land to control and use for their benefit are a dead people.
That is why every other human identity on Earth except your Black American identity is a land-based, land-created, land-oriented and land-directed .
French identity comes with a French land upon which the French power, French nation, French government and so on are built for the benefit of all French people at home and abroad.
There is a British identity because there is a land called British land upon which the British power is solidly rooted for the benefit of all British people.
German identity, Italian identity, Arab identity, Jewish identity, Portuguese identity, Spanish identity, Japanese identity, Chinese identity, and Russian identity etc exist because all of them are a land-based and rooted and which they own, control, empower, develop, protect, defend, empower, enrich, and use for their benefit.
But when it comes to you my Afrikan Brothers and Sisters in White America, White America has allowed you to refer to yourselves as Black and has encouraged, praised, admired and rewarded you for preferring Black American identity to your one and only AfrikaIdentity in USA.
All because White America knows your Black America identity is nothing but a lie, powerless, and poses no threat to the supremacy of White America over your Black America.
But if we agree, for the sake of argument, that Continental/Diaspora Afrikans are Black in skin color which justifies why we should call ourselves Black, the fact still remains that a lot of us do not have a charcoal skin color but rather the color of brown or chocolate or Mother Earth skin complexion .
And if so, why do we do with them?
Throw them away to the wolves of skin discrimination?
And because, we cannot do that, it becomes ridiculous if not pathetic for the ninety-nine percent of today's Afrikans at home and abroad to be caught up in the skin color war that constantly pitches fair-skin color Afrikans against the darker skin color Afrikans kept alive to prevent Afrikans from accepting, believing, trusting, loving, and respecting each other as members one Continental AfrikaFamily.
In the name of false Black skin color, many are Afrikans who will not work together for their common Afrikan cause, interests, and needs.
Most will prefer doing business with the White skin color people to doing business among and between ourselves as Afrikans in USA.
Hence, you my Continental Afrikan Brothers and Sisters in USA, just remember, to continue referring yourselves as Black Americans is to uproot yourself form the limitless power and benefit of your AfrikaIdentity.
Like your African American identity, your Black identity exists purposely to rob you of your true AfrikaIdentity by imposing a fake slave identity on you that makes you forget your true Self as Afrikan in USA.
It keeps you busy promoting, protecting, defending, fighting, and dying for the right to be Black in White America instead of reclaiming, relearning, knowing and mastering your true divine right to be Afrikan in thoughts , words and deeds everywhere, anytime and all day.
While your Black American identity offers you not Black American land to build your Black American power on, your Continental AfrikaIdentity offers you the richest Continent on Earth as your ancestral homeland to prosper on.
While your Black American Identity can only make you know everything about the White man and his White/Western world but little or nothing about our glorious Continental Afrikan past, your newly recovered Continental Afrikan selfhood for life.
While your Black American identity programs you to accept, believe and trust the lie that today's Afrikans at home and abroad are suffering all over the world because of their “Black” skin color, your Continental AfrikaIdentity teaching teaches you the reason why we have become doormats for all kinds of dirty feet to feast over , is not because of our Skin Color but because , 99% percent of today's Continental/Diaspora Afrikans have allowed others to cut us away from the protection, the empowerment, and the shield of our Continental AfrikaIdentity about which we know little or nothing of.
In other words, it is suicide, death, genocide, and holocaust for anybody to prefer false identities to his/her own identity.
Hence, the more you stick to the lie of your Black American identity, the more slave and photocopy you will end up turning yourselves into.
The more you say it is your right to be as Black as you can, the more lost you become as Afrikan in USA.
No matter what they tell you, there is nothing like Black Afrika either because there is no land anywhere on Earth called “Black Afrikan Land” except in the minds of those who profit form the fragmentation of our Continental Afrikan Land, world and people on the basis of their lie of “White” and “Black” Afrika.
The only identity that is worth recovering by all Continental/Diaspora Afrikans is their Continental AfrikaIdentity which once enabled them to be the Cradle of Humanity and Mother of world's civilizations an without which there would be no AfrikaRace or People on earth today.
With the urgent recovery of the Power, Pride and Dignity of our Continental AfrikaIdentity from head to toe, all children of Mother Continental Afrika at home and abroad, will confer on themselves with the Continental Afrikan power they badly need to end once and for all, our today's growing genocide crisis which none of today's slave and Colonial identities cannot solve for us.
To reject therefore, the lie of your today's Black American identity in favor of your Continental AfrikaIdentity is therefore, to free yourselves from your present invisible hell of slave identity of your Black Identity which exists to keep you permanently ignorant, atomized, dependent, and isolated from one another as Afrikans .
And in this way, all today's Continental/Diaspora Afrikans will learn, know and take pride in saying a BIG YES to the eternal glory, pride, dignity, and happiness of their forgotten Continental AfrikaIdentity which alone is capable of bringing us together as free, unified, strong, prosperous, safe, happy, and fulfilled Continental Afrikans for life in love, justice, equality, peace, ad harmony for all on Earth.
