African Dis function

                                                  African Dis function      

              Africans can unite if we stop following the lead of other people, and start following the lead of our own Ancestors and Leaders. The powers that be have discouraged us from this pursuit, and have encouraged us to pursue religious ideas. Religion is not a concept that promotes unity among people. It promotes more hostile divisions than any other human concept. Politics and Religion goes hand in hand to make this world a hellhole. The politicians promise us good living on Earth, and the Preachers promise us good living in Heaven. Promise is a comfort to a fool, and we have been the promised fools living in an illusion. Africans have been setup, hoodwinked and bamboozled for European prosperity. We should be rooting for African prosperity, since this is who we are,
            The politics of European hegemony has reduced us financially, and the politics of European religions  have reduced us spiritually. We are totally out of our element as Africans. We have become African Europeans living in a dangerous situation, waiting for the next shoe to drop. We need a bullet proof vest and a helmet just to walk down the street unlike everyone else. The Civil Rights Movement has failed us as a people. The N.A.A.C.P has failed us as a people. Integration has failed to provide Africans with any kind of solid progress. Integration was a trick the played on our parents and grand parents. How can we integrate with nothing to bring to the table. We need reparations and compensation in order to be made whole again. We cannot build self esteem or independence on integration. Integration is an illusion and a deflection from the real subject of reparations.
               All these European institutions have failed us as African people. The failure of the N.A.A.C.P has resurrected Marcus Garvey's idea of the U.N.I.A. The vision of a self sufficient African Nation. This vision should be the goal of every African family. The vision of Marcus Garvey, endorsed by many of our more prominent African Leaders.
