If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

A Beautiful Thing | Young Africans Coming Of Age
Unity Consciousness #183

.

The youth, which is typical when change is necessary, are the ones paying attention to history, knowledge of self and critical thinking.

Young Amandla Stenberg provides a bunch of history and analysis in under 5 minutes. She knows her stuff.

Knowledge of self is a beautiful thing.

As we've known for at least 4,000 years, Europeans love to imitate Africans more than the other way around. Also, as has been proven, by history, Europeans need us to survive, in a labor situation, yes, but even moreso to suck the arteries of our life-sustaining genius, the way all vampires do. Our ideas have long since and continue to fuel human societies. I'm glad this young lady has stood up to personal attacks from sick and dying people who feel justified to carry out internet hate crimes because she and Dayo Okeniyi got jobs in a movie.

Amandla asks what others have also asked, "What would America be like if we loved black people as much as we love black culture?"

I ask, “What is America going to look like as more young Africans return to the natural blackness of self?”

It is going to look like it did before Europeans arrived. Nile Valley and other African civilizations worldwide are going to return to high culture and evolution that go far beyond where we left off. That's what!
