Title: Being African is Being Black

Originally Tweet – Being #African is Being #Black, Being Black is Being African. What does this mean – we beautify wherever we go. We seek to express our freedom, wherever we are and we take our stewardship as Grandparents to Humanity, seriously.

EXPLANATION – There is confusion today around the idea of rather Blackness is truly African or rather African is Blackness. Historically, those who named us Negro knew the answer to this question. Negro, a Spanish name affixed to Afrikans when they were not being called Niggers, literally is translated into English as meaning Black. How controversy has been allowed to fester over the past 10 years concerning this simple historical truth is remarkable, yet the truth shall and must prevail. We are Black because we were Afrikan first, period – full stop.

What does being Black because we were Afrikan mean, what is the center that is found within us? It is a divine center that beautifies wherever we go; things that are out of order must be fixed so they will be righteous in their positioning. Things that are unkempt must be fixed up so their inner structure can shine brightly. And people who are broken down must be treated with compassion and empathy for the good that is done will benefit us all. Beauty, for the Black because they were Afrikan Being, begins not with the material surrounding them but with the inner light from their soul.

It is the Soul inside the Black because we were Afrikan Being which causes us to declare unapologetically that we must seek to express our freedom wherever we are! Freedom is not only something sought but something practiced, it is our most sacred religion. To know Freedom is to not have fear, to know your thoughts are your own, to know your place in the universe and to know God lives by shining through you. To know Freedom is to know the true circle of life, to know the healing presence of Heaven or the Ancestral Realm working through you for the betterment of Humanity and to know even more so the passage of time along with your place in the evolution this passage encourages. Freedom is not just wisdom seeking but it is knowing wisdom through humble obedience to your life’s purpose.

From Freedom comes a sincere dedication to human elevation; it is this motivation that has led some of our greatest minds and many more of our ordinary people to demonstrate in practical fashion the last sentence in the tweet, that fact that we take our stewardship as Grandparents to Humanity seriously. If we did not, would we still be negotiating with the human side of Europeans? If we did not, would we not have distorted our character enough to rid ourselves of those who oppressed us? If we did not, would we still seek to live among them in their societies even as those societies falter, crack and disintegrate into their pre-enlightened form?
