[align=center]The Continuity of the African[/align]


Why is continuity important?



Well howcan we talk about or define culture, the life blood of a people, without continuity?



Hence why some Africans in Diaspora think that African culture is some sub-culture based around reactionary music, culture and slang.





The continuity of the African



Directly descended from great civilisations around the Nile area, I am. This is not an academic exercise or a set of empty words on the Internet; how can anyone choose to then define me as lesser than them when their highest cultures, behaviours, have their roots in the teachings of my people?



The continuity of the African



Why is continuity important?



So the conflicts and contradictions that help shape Africa, give one an understanding of what it means to be an African. Being African is not something that can be taken away from Africans but yet many Africans through idealogy, brutal, organised violence and economic manipulation, have lostthat continuity - that life blood, knowledge of self.



Why is continuity important?



Slavery tried to do away with the idea of a tribe, a people, a nation -the people have no power.



"The power now belongs in the metropoles".



The motherland is now England. For you there is no continuity. It all started with your relationship with us - white power - white interests - the development of the white world - your world has died, and will continue to die, for this is the modern, industrial, "civilised" age.



"Your people have never and will never contribute to the heights humanity has climbed since the inception of history".





Why is continuity important?



Because it offers resistance to that which is continuous!



Those who enslave and colonise are consistent and build upon that which has been done before them.



Those who are oppressed have been consistent in their fight for political/economic empowerment and independence.





The continuity of the African





Rape. A weapon of war - an imposition of power.



"How can you be African, I raped your people and put my European seed amongst you. I have broken that continuity. I don't want you to have continuity".



"For if you keep the idea of a people the rape would have been in vain, my power diminished".







The continuity of the African



Miscegenation does not and could not stop the African from knowing and seeking companionship, counsel and unity with self - for this is natural.



Asian with Asian, European with European, African with African.



They call people seeking continuity with their own racists while they organise racist nation states that imprision us in complex sophisticated dungeons. Dungeons that range from physical economic creations to the mental, mind altering symbolisim that space age cultures then deciminate through the air in the form of electromagnetic waves - desciphered by equipment africans spend their vital life force purchasing but yet, never fully understanding the implications.





Why is continuity important?





Why were our names changed, under the watch of the mass produced musket?



Why was the speaking of African languages a capital offence?



Why were structures put in place that devalue African life, being African, hence the conflict between many Africans from accepting each other as brothers and sisters - all children of the Nile?



From the River Niger many N****rs were created



Who became Negros and then Colored peoples.



Then Black.



Now some say they are African.



Why?



Nationality does not negate race.



Racist nations do not forget about race. They were built on the phenomenon.



People defend themselves on their understanding of what is now actually occurring - intelligence.



What is came from what was!









Why is continuity important?



The battle changes when your experience is centuries or eons old.



For time is about experience.



Something inherited from ones culture, people.



Not the machinations of some mechanical, simple, non-life givingclock.

@Breadfruit and Mansamusa,

Excellent posts bros. Excellent.

"History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is also a compass that people use to find themselves on the map of human geography. History tells a people where they have been and what they have been, where they are and what they are. Most important, history tells a people where they still must go, what they still must be.

The relationship of history to the people is the same as the relationship of a mother to her child."

John Henrik Clarke

[align=center]In the face of cultural aggression of all sorts, in the face of all disintegrating factors of the outside world, the most efficient cultural weapon with which a people can arm itself is this feeling of historical continuity."

"Sankofa is an ancient concept. Though the word is ostensibly Akan (West Afrika) it is a timeless principle of all creation, and applies to both spiritual and material aspects of creation. Sankofa is not merely 'going back to fetch that which you have lost.' It is a dual process of internal and external development...[it] is analogous to a forest giant oaks with a linked and intertwined root system.

Sankofa is that process epitomized in an ever-expanding root system that develops almost imperceptibly. That root system of timeless historical tradition anchors and nourishes our cultural reality, the flower of our existence."

"Knowledge of race history, is to that race, exactly as an individual's memory is to that individual. Without memory, an individual lives in an eternity of unconnected moments, totally dysfunctional and unlearned.

He cannot do even the simplest task, for every task requires some memory.......The masses of African Americans suffer from partial cultural amnesia because of a certain deliberate program that wiped the slates of our memories clean of true African events prior to the cotton fields of America."

I'm on this website called nappturality.com and the women on there were bashing me when i told them that i see myself as African even though I was not born there. Africa is my roots why else would i look this way. When I explained to them that they are African too, they said things like, I know who I am, or I ain't no African, or how can I be african when I dont know nothing about it, etc. I was bruised for days cause they rather be indian, or spanish, or asian, but never African.
