Reality Check...An Afro-Philosophical Perspective

I think views should be express freely even if it do at times influences people's behavior. However, I think that there are views that upon discovery there real intent, was to let you be riding on a delusional coaster ride, a sort of temporary euphoria if you will , that left your head spinning uncontrollably, that gives one the impression that you're not only confused but suffering from some sort of a traumatic brain injury that seems unrecoverable. As a result of this, I contribute that religion and politics are the main culprits for this seeming conundrum. Luckily, there are ways in which stability can become a reality in all of this mess. We've been taught not to think for ourselves. Instead, we've been programmed by the institutionalized system to reproduced exactly what they've taught us, thus producing the same situation over and over again. Just stop for a moment and look around you, and then observed where you are in life right now, and how do you feel about it. Of course, you've those who have not been affected by the system for whatever reasons that exists, but we do have quite a good amount of us who are mentally entrapped by this contemporary method of slavery, which the legendary Bob Marley dubbed as mental slavery. We've either don't know who we are or have forgotten who we are....Well then, permit me the privilege of doing the honors of letting you know who you are, by stating first and foremost of who you're not. You're not some tool to be used and abused via the method of fear inducement such as hell bounded if you so choose to do what you feel to do , with the balance of not infringing upon anyone rights whatsoever. You don't have to do anything at all that you don't want to do, and that doesn't mean you're being mean and crude. You should not have to be stuck in some sort of a twilight zone wishing and hoping that a zombie from underneath the earth or sky or a super benevolent policy maker with no strings attach, will come and rescue you from an idea that was forced upon you, that is of no fault of yours, plus it is infantile, incompatible and highly suspective within this modern settings when placed under the microscope of an erudite & discerning mind. 

Now, let me try an explain in some general terms of who we really are, including you that is now reading this material. You are a product or result of the universe, therefore that places you on equal terms with everything to be here , because it's no fault of yours neither the other results to be here in the first place, therefore, it's an illusion to think that other members of your species are greater or above you, and thus to do whatever you don't want them to do unto you. However, due to that the fact that you're a social creature , and your highest ideals is , survival, it's therefore imperative of you , if you so wish to maintain your own chance of survival pace intact as efficiently as possible(even though it's temporary), then you must play a part in that collective settings that gears towards that objective, this means that you're to co-operate or show some empathy, or some apathy at times within the group not just to procreate for the continuation of your species, but for the sake of your selfish interests, and that is to survive or keep living. Remember also, that your not just merely a creature of a particular species, but you're also a sentient being, that possesses the ability to feel, perceive, or to experience subjectivity.  You're also a part of a set of creatures belonging to a particular species that isn't only intelligent , but have dominion over every other creatures because of our unique brain that is unequal to any other set of creatures known.

With the human species occupying this blue-like sphere as if it's they who are the landlords, it's quite evident that the human brain, is capable of doing some unbelievable stuff , should not appear to people like us (blacks) as if it is those with pigmentation(other ethnic groups) different from us (black) are capable of using , and using it well, thus giving the impression of superiority. With this in mind, my people, it's imperative that we should shake off the mental chains and shackles from off our brains as quickly as possible, and collectively seek audience with each other, in a mentally engaging manner in order to raise not only our self-worth or consciousness, but also our intellectual level. This can only be achieved via engulfing ourselves with knowledge that will raised our bars on an equal plateau to the rest of our species. 

This may sound as if I'm presupposing that we are all dunces, and that will be inaccurate, if that's the assumption and position you hold. On the contrary, we do have people within the system that are already on par with those of different ethnicity. However, there is a sort of inferior complex syndrome amongst our people , even to some who are on par intellectually with those of different ethnicity(and I've alluded to that earlier) , but academic knowledge, meaning being taught at an educational institution is only half of the cake. The other half lies with how we treat ourselves , that is how we treat each other. We have to learn this all over again, most surprisingly. Look at the streets , look at the mathematics or specifically look at the numbers. Most of the people, within the 90% range, are blacks...descendants of black Africans. From this it's quite clear who will be seen as poor, sick, dying , dead, oppressed, mentally dysfunctional and a lot more of the malign stuff affecting a dysfunctional society.

Yet, we turn to the two grand designers of our ills, seeking refuge and compensation that is futile. The power that we possessed will obviously never be echoed repeatedly for some apparent reason. So whenever some one from amongst you, who eyes have seen the scales been stripped or removed from the eyes , and  hence having a sort of a clairvoyance approach or a clear visual of the entire system.  Having seen the bigger picture, mixed with same level of intellect like those of other ethnicity, it's imperative of me to see my race survive, not from the case of procreation only, but also in tune with the new paradigm shift in the human race on a whole. It's very apparent from those in the academia world that the new revolution or evolution for humanity has indeed long shifted passed the industrial age , and is now in the age of information technology or also the digital information era(computer age), that's continually expanding , and it's now on a whole new level that we need to tap into for our own existence.To remained stuck in some old ideology of waiting to see the sky open and a being come descending to rescue us is not only very absurd and  pathetic, but extremely out of whack with this new era. The system which the politics plays an integral part are simple there to keep us distracted for the ultimate objective, and that is to maintain its own survive. Yes, it needs us to let us remained intellectual hitched with delusional stuff. So what do we need to be freed ? First, we (black people) need to trust each other, secondly to be found worthy of that trust, then lets greet and meet each other with love and compassion so that we can learn and expand our horizon to meet this new dawn in human civilization...we have missed many, except for the first coupled of thousand years. Out of Africa , humanity emerged, this is a known fact from both historians and anthropologists....we're amongst the first to have discovered religion politics, and the arts...yes others have advanced them , because that's the irreversible and unstoppable function of life, meaning to grow, expand or evolve....yet others have passed us...with the tactics that we've invented...divide and rule.....Well in this new era that will not be the central focal point, yet it will always be an integral part of all creatures...and if I should commit the cardinal violation of personifying life like most people, I would say that life demands this, for life will not have it no other way...Therefore, I will agree with most philosophers , that  to hold back ourselves is an impossible tasks, but we've also fundamentally learned one valuable piece of information from life through evolution, and that is if anything that can't adapt to this process will become extinct . So it begs the question , how adaptable we are at this point ?...well, just look around you, and tell me what do you see ?...look at where they are , and then look at where we are, and that include yourself....and yes my people, and tell yourself what do you see ?....Peace, honor, respect and love.
