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

Definition 5 – Based On Results (Outcomes Of Mental Functioning)

What has our ways of thinking and behavior gotten us?

No Deprivation Of Benefit
Optimal mental health exists when there are no aspects of mental functioning that causes harm or deprivation of benefit as judged by your culture. (Azibo 43/12)

Regardless if we judge results by African culture or by Asianized African culture that has spread worldwide, either way, we are harming and depriving ourselves by the way we think and behave because we are using logic designed to stigmatize and destroy the African root of who we all are.
We gotta be crazy. That is why we self-destruct as racial subgroups and as the human subgroup of nature. It is not because we are African.
A major reason Africans are targeted by all subgroups that came out of us, is because Africa is envied and Africans are envied for the greatness of our birthright and for our track record of bringing forth and/or indirectly making possible most of the things we rely on today. As the original version of modern humans, we were simply much more in touch with our original human nature, thus were able to optimize our genetic potential for a much longer period of time.
Even so, among those who have lost touch, envy has remained unresolved by healthy self-fulfillment, thus continues to result in ongoing inner sickness turned outward into ongoing hostility.

Basic Needs
Another way to look at the results of mental functioning is to consider mental health as the ability to understand the fundamentals of life and existence according to the current set of conditions so optimal conclusions and decisions are reached in the fulfillment of basic needs.
Granny had plenty of this kind of mental health.
