Azanian Souljahs,
Your contributiuons to this discussion and poll has truly enlightened me primarily and others who actively participated in dat "syfa of fya".
As i had briefly pointed out already,communal livity is a man made law,derived and from a manupilated state of UBUNTU (which is propelled by Self Knowewledge first). King Moshoeshoe, in his humane theocratic governance, gave the colonists land as they had requested it from him formerly and officailly. What he did not know is that these very same people started selling land between themselves, and soon land now had monatory value which did not exist in native Azania. History reveals peeps.
I agree, we can not run away from the ma**ive globalization wave that has hit us. Yes all ism & schisms that exist in this time determine the simple decisions man makes to survive, but that does not mean it cannot be countered.
Prior to colonization, not even white colonization, but within ourselves, customs that were in place since the cosmic birth were means of livity. the laws of nature need to be realised even in this time for us to exodus to the next level of human development, thats just common sense. We truly need to take a step back to march forward. Call me primitive, jus like the ancient Azanian Xhosa Warriors led by King Gondo,"Izivatho Zengqobhoko lulunya lwamaQaba":Translated; "Robes of Missionaries/colonists, is da scorn of da natives"
Everything in the name of socilities & humanities is built and based around Nubian/Kemite teachings which we Azanians as descendants of the Embo Nation inherited through arts and culture & recreational activities.
Elders of old used word of mouth, story telling,Imbizo's would be called to pa** on to the next generations the secrets and traits of survival, according to mother nature.
In Timbuktu there such things as a "house of light", synagouges of higher learning(builders of pyramids, mayans, aztec, nazarenes all went throgh these mediums of educatiuon) where motive was to prove everything,in this modern day they cal them schools! Colonists stripped away our identities by uprooting our language, culture & simple way of living, Ubuntu! But as the laws of nature stands,such a force/energy cannot be destroyed or created, only transfered and prolonged, from generation to generation until a climax is reached, most high.
Clearly, prior to roman-dutch law induction, this was a land prosperous in all departments of socialities.So why now can't we rise to where we were using all the knoweledge that the colonists have manupilated and made theirs,with what remains sacred, da beat of da drum! Word, Sound and Power.
If we think we are going to beat these guys at their own game is stupid, know their game and uplift yours!
If we come as polititians/economists etccc..bounded by a roman -dutch constitution in Greater Azania, we might as well jus go along with the flow.
Konfab, u have power in your hands, da mic! Hughy P was instrumental, so was Biko and matyrs they became.
As in the Battle of Adwa 1896, fascist Italians invading Emperor Menelik II throne with 800 000 soldiers to Ethiopians' 100 000, the beat of the drums by the Uhuru,Mau Mau & Nyabhingi warriors in the mountaneous plains of East Nubia called upon the whole of nature, battle was won by Ethiopia with all odds, technology and numbers against them, the war is still on!
Capitilize internally,centralise and mobilse peeps through our arts and culture(spokenword sessions, Iimbizo, Hip Hop sessions, native theatre and musical arts, & crafts), aim to decolonise the mind by the conent of the obove tools of activism!Counter politics with ubuntu/arts and culture! our resources must remain here if we are to stand against Goliath!
Aluta Continua :idea:
