The problem is not a mzungu-aren't they human just like the rest of us?
Losing one's own identity through manipulation and brainwash is the real prob.with all of us.
We see that in our day to day living-even here.

N'ditto

What about the billions we receive in foreign aid that we will have to pay back for hundreds of years to come? Aid that benefits the mzungu more than the African.

Even fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, men and women are actively involved in manipulating, and destroying their selves into slavery, and dragging 'everyone else', with them.

But the question then is, how is one to liberate his Self? Should we seek liberty and freedom? Why should we do so?

Now when I write this I feel as if all this time I have said I want to be free because it's fashionable to do so. But deep in my heart I'm weak, and full of fear, the fear to be responsible for the child running on the street, the driver, the robber, the ailing person, the old. I fear to be responsible for the hungry and naked.

Syria is a great burden, so is Palestine, or America, or my country, or myself. I walk fast many a times because all the fears in me are projected behind me and oh how they chase me!

Picture the white/Arab slaves in ships coming to find 'Africans' and enjoin them in their slave pursuits; the fear of hunger, disorder, weather, sickness . . . the fear to be still, and contented with what is.

Apropos, I'm reminded of Albert Schweitzer explaining the crux of 'Western' philosophy as life affirming, the Orient life negating, and for the African? Not yet there.

But what life view did the African have? Live and let live. Mutualism. It's said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, the human species spread from Africa into new lands. Isn't this Exodus the source of philosophical divergence amongst the people of the world?

The Empires of the World are attempts to go back to the original conditions, 'Afrika' the 'Universal' point of equilibrium. This is the condition for freedom in the strictest political sense. Freedom is humanity awakening to it's Afrikan identity; a rediscovery of the 'Ka' that ties all humanity together.

The turning point for us is to remember this Identity, and its pillars-which are found in the diverse people of the world, and to live them out; and power will flow to the hearts and minds of humanity, and the world will transform.

The crown of the tree is the root.

Hahaha!
