In his book, Return to the African Mother Principle and throughout his youtube lectures, Dr. T’Shaka has talked at great length about something called “the Hostile Forces” that struck the community after 1968. As primary forces; Neoliberalism, deindustrialization and the scourge that was the drug epidemic, devastated our once close net invisible institutions – including the most important institution in all, our family structure. However there were other secondary and tertiary forces that should have some attention paid to them also. While I am not going to list them altogether right now, Dr. T’Shaka helped me see the vital role these forces played in interrupted the cohesiveness in our community. As we prepare to enter an age where decisions we make as both individuals and collective have far reaching consequences, so far reaching, our thrice great grandchildren can either be cursing or praising our generational name; I think it’s important that we take a few pages from Dr. T’Shaka’s life’s testimony and observe the potential in this era through the lens of this being a crisis ripe with potential.

I call this series Confronting the Modern Crisis in Inhumane Morality, because, as Dr. T’Shaka explains in the referenced lecture – it is inhumane morality that separates our rich Afrikan culture from the more barbaric western one. The current white house occupant, Donald “the razors edge of humanoid evolution” Trump demonstrates this cultural difference without much effort. The unelected President and Chairman of the United States Government’s constitutional crisis, Elon Musk, similarly expresses the separation but in a much different more confident way. For Donald Trump, he is run by animalistic tendencies and lower mind destructive pulses that move back and forth between wanting the public’s approval while amassing a massive fortune and doing the bidding of his rich friends which enables him to amass the massive fortune he desires. The emptiness created by these two points is filled by the public’s whims or at least the collective psyche’s whims within his European cultural memory. For Elon Musk, his animalistic tendencies are more controlled, his desire to amass a great fortune (one he recently spoke of reaching $1 Trillion dollars) undergirds a disdain for nature which drives him to rip it apart without considering the long term damage his actions will cause. While he doesn’t have the same drive to do the bidding of his rich friends, he does their bidding because he ultimately is an elitist who believes those who have the most money are better than those who do not. Between these two poles is a mental intellectualism so piercing before his current career as the de facto President, many in the media were calling him this era’s Tesla. This mental intellectualism, is a key feature in western culture but it is not in Afrikan culture. We now exist in a time when the world is quickly moving away from being dominated by this mode of intellectualism being the only measurement for true “inner sense”. In recent years and decades the concept known has intelligence has been expanded beyond mentality to include emotional, spiritual, social and physical. All intelligences contained within our Afrikan culture, unfortunately I will not be speaking on how these intelligences are embodied throughout our culture – at least not in this series. We need to stay focused on this crisis that has emerged, but I will likely elude to them periodically.

In the next part I will talk about the idea of Morality and how our Afrikan culture views its calling (something Dr. T’Shaka has talked about many times throughout his lecture) and how the western view on morality has forced this country’s arrival to this specific point in history. In the meantime answer the following “deep thought” question: what makes an event a crisis? Follow up: have you ever experienced a non-personal crisis in your life? Explain

Family, it is time we start to claim our heritage completely; that means involving ourselves in deep thought so we can not only claim our heritage but develop it further into the future. Our Ancestors have placed us here in this moment for us to do this and much more, so please think deeply about the above question then leave your response in the comment section.
