Brother Polight is Not Spiritually Conscious
Brother Polight is not spiritually conscious, which is why he, like most ghetto scholars, cannot control their desires.
As most people familiar with the Black Conscious community would know; Brother Polight is currently in very serious legal trouble due to allegations that he sexually assaulted the 14-year-old daughter of one of his mistresses. Recent reports are that he has now been convicted of the crime and has been sentenced to seven years in prison. The truth of this matter will be revealed in time but it won’t change our long-held assessment that Brother Polight is not Spiritually Conscious and it is his lack of spiritual consciousness that has gotten him in moral and legal trouble.
Brother Polight became famous as a champion debater within the Black Consciousness community. The reasons why his fans loved him were many but perhaps the main reason was because of his intellect. He speaks several languages, he is well versed in religious and Kemetic knowledge, and he was a prolific writer who wrote dozens of books. The one thing that set him apart from most other Ghetto scholars though, was his open polygamist lifestyle.
Polygamy is the practice of having more than one spouse at the same time. It is an age-old tradition that is commonly practiced in cultures that follow polytheistic religions. Cultures that follow Judeo-Christian religions do not practice Polygamy; therefore, it is illegal in most countries, including the United States. Most Black men do not have a moral issue with Polygamy. In fact, most of us in the West either practice it outside of marriage or wish we could move to places where it is legal.
If you’re reading this and you’re anticipating that we’re going to say that Brother Polight is spiritually unconscious because of his polygamous lifestyle you are on the right tract but hear us out. You need to understand what spiritual consciousness really is. The dictionary definition of consciousness is a mental state of being aware of one’s environment and one’s own thoughts and feelings. It is the ability to experience and perceive the world around us, and to think, reason, and remember our physical and mental place inside the whole the consensus as termed reality. The Black community’s two main definitions of consciousness are Black racial and cultural awareness and moral uprightness.
Dohgon Spirituality goes even deeper and defines consciousness, or cognition as the passing of Neurons between our two brain hemispheres, which generates a Mind-field. When a mind field is present, our mind will then function under the influence of two mechanisms; Desire and Conscience. Desire is an instinctual mechanism of life, while Conscience is the energy of the Great Spirit that is the universe acting on our Mind -field to encourage the regulation of the Desire Mechanism.
When asked why he was polygamous, Brother Polight stated in one of his videos that it was a natural Desire of his and since his research showed that polygamy was a normal African tradition, he will continue to fulfill his desires. This is the problem that we at the HERU Interface of Dark Consciousness have with cultural traditions. Just because our ancestors practiced certain things doesn’t make them right to continue or re-establish in our present-day lifestyles. Our ancestors had many cultural practices, which if they were inspired by the Great Spirit that is the Universe, could not have been erased by time and colonization.
Most Black Consciousness ghetto scholars do not understand human Desire; therefore, most will see the demise of Brother Polight and not understand how his lack of spiritual consciousness actually led to his sexual perversions. In fact, lack of spiritual consciousness is also what led to the downfall of Young Pharaoh because all white supremacists had to do was figure out what his Desires were and exploit them. Uncontrolled desire leads to low Self-discipline, which is also a sign of a weak conscience. A weak conscience is a sign of a weak connection with the Great Spirit that is the Universe.
Oppenheimer Movie Celebrates the Use of Evil to Achieve Good
“Oppenheimer” is the title of a new Hollywood movie about the man who created the nuclear bomb. Like all similar biographical movies, it will attempt to give a psycho-analysis of a person who created something evil in hopes that people will overlook the evil and develop an appreciation for the good that resulted from that evil. Don’t be fooled because the only thing the movie will teach is that the unethical ones have never and will never change since creating the Devil of their religions because they foolishly believe that evil can be used as a tool to achieve good.
J Robert Oppenheimer was an American theoretical physicist and professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley. He is often called the “father of the atomic bomb” for his role in the Manhattan Project, the World War II project that developed the first nuclear weapons. His evil invention was then used to vaporize 2 million people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. Following WW2, Oppenheimer was said to have a change of heart about the evil he created and worked to oppose further nuclear weapons developments in the world up until his death in the 1970s.
The general consensus among the majority of Americans up until this day is that the dropping of the nuclear bombs on Japan was a “necessary evil” that served multiple purposes. It marked the end of World War II and the beginning of a new era of peace and stability in the world. The bombings also led to the development of the United Nations and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which have helped to prevent the use of nuclear weapons in the decades since. Additionally, the bombings helped to bring about a new era of international cooperation and understanding, as well as the development of nuclear energy as a source of power.
Evil can never create good, just like fear can never bring about comfort. Unfortunately, humans have always defaulted to the unethical side of our nature; some quicker and more extreme than others. I call sanity resistors the unethical ones because they employ all their brain power on developing tools for killing then when their conscience somehow overrides their unethical ideologies about life, they seek atonement. I have no plans to see the Oppenheimer movie but I have no doubt about what the theme of the movie will be. First it will justify the necessary evil of creating and using the atomic bomb then it will hail Oppenheimer as a noble and caring man.
So, what was the alternative to ending the war if it wasn’t a show of brute force, you might ask and don’t it always seem that people like myself always come up with petty grievances after the fact instead of being glad to be alive? There was no alternative at that point of the conflict that unethical people like Oppenheimer created but my argument is not about the obvious, which is that some humans are extremely territorial and possessive. My argument is that most territorial and possessive people belong to a similar race of people.
World history reveals that, aside from the Mongols of East Asia, no race of people on the planet crave conquest more than Caucasians. They translate evil into good like buying Carbon credits by saying conflict, hardship, and unnecessary crisis fuels human development. I would say that you can have this hell that you’ve created but I know better. I know that the harder you make it, it’s the greater the challenge for ethical people to make this world a better place but we’re up for the challenge.
Why the Black Consciousness Movement Is Always Failing
The diaspora Black Consciousness community lost two very prominent members in the past few years. Young Pharaoh and Brother Polight have gone dormant due to very serious legal allegations and personal issues and if the reports are true, it would confirm something that I’ve been pointing out for ten years now; there is a critical difference between Mental Consciousness and Black Consciousness. This difference is why unconscious Ghetto Scholars will always cause the Black Consciousness movement to fail.
The era of social media injected new life into the Black Conscious movement, a race-first initiative that has attempted for many years to reverse the colonial brainwashing that many of us blame for the dysfunctions of the Black African race. Black Consciousness began in collages and universities across the world by Black students and Black professors who were eager to point out the omissions of Black achievements in the recording and teaching of world history. Unfortunately, those grievances rarely went beyond the confines of educational institutes due to a lack of interest in the Black community at large unless those grievances are highlighted during social uprisings.
I have always held racially conscious views but like many of my early influencers, I blamed Inequity on the political and social systems most societies are built on such as Capitalism and Colonialism. The natural detraction to the social inequities I hated in life was to adopt Socialist views. I wasn’t until I began to learn about how my Brain and Mind works at the Dohgon University of Thought that my outlook on life began to change towards prioritizing Sanity and Ethics instead. I began to realize that we as a race can fight the Ideologies in others that promote inequity, injustice, racism and discrimination for a thousand years and nothing will change until we target the conscience of unethical people instead.
Mental Consciousness involves training the Mind to make a conscious effort to prioritize Ethics and Morals in everything we do. The result will be an involuntary inclination towards mental Sanity, which I believe is the most civilized human pursuit. Mental Consciousness involves two instincts that exist in all humans. Those instincts are Desire and Conscience. Conscience involves effort while Desire requires none but both are essential for mental balance. Conscience over Desire results in self-righteousness while Desire over conscience results in self-destructiveness. True balance results in unconditional Love.
Unconscious Ghetto Scholars will always fail because they refuse to believe that Mental Consciousness is important. In fact, the two most successful Black Liberation movements in America involved the use of Mental Consciousness. Martin Luther King JR used Christian self-discipline and Malcolm X used Islamic self-discipline. Does that mean that in order for Black Consciousness to be successful, Ghetto Scholars must be religious? No, because religious indoctrination is a form of unconsciousness that promotes self-righteousness.
In my opinion, Young Pharaoh was never Conscious because he allowed white supremacists, who are unethical at their core, to gain influence over him. Couple that with his many other desire-driven faults, he eventually imploaded on himself. Brother Polight was also never conscious because he allowed his sexual desires to override his judgement, resulting in the exploiting of a minor. The failures of these two once prominent Ghetto Scholars should be an example for others not to follow because only an effort to achieve mental balance can sustain true Black Consciousness.
Near Death Experience (NDE) vs Religion
Near Death Experience (NDE) is gaining in popularity, especially in this social media sphere. Because of this, one would think that NDEs just started happening to people in the past few years. The truth is that people have been experiencing NDEs for hundreds and thousands of years. There are several reasons why NDE isn’t a popular subject but the main reason is because it is incompatible with popular religions.
Near death experiences (NDEs) are often described as a profound encounter with the afterlife. These experiences can include a sense of leaving the body, encountering a bright light, and being greeted by deceased loved ones or divine beings. While many people find comfort in the idea that there is an afterlife, NDEs can be incompatible with popular religion for several reasons.
One of the main reasons NDEs are incompatible with religion is that they challenge traditional beliefs about the afterlife. Many religions have specific beliefs about what happens to the soul after death, such as being judged by a God. NDEs, on the other hand, often describe a peaceful, loving environment that is not tied to any particular religion. This can be difficult for people who have been raised with specific religious beliefs and may cause them to question their faith.
Another reason NDEs are incompatible with religion is that they can challenge the idea of a singular, all-powerful deity (God). Many NDEs describe encountering multiple beings or entities, which can be difficult to reconcile with the idea of a single deity that controls the afterlife. Additionally, some NDEs describe encountering deceased loved ones or ancestors, which may not fit into traditional religious beliefs about the afterlife.
Finally, NDEs are incompatible with religion because they challenge the idea of a strict moral code. Many religions have specific rules and guidelines for behavior in order to achieve a positive afterlife. NDEs, however, often describe an environment of unconditional love and acceptance, regardless of a person’s past actions or beliefs. This can be difficult for people who have been taught that they must earn their way into an afterlife through good deeds and adherence to religious doctrine.
In conclusion, while NDEs can be a source of comfort and hope for many people, they can also challenge traditional religious beliefs about the afterlife. For some, this may be a positive experience that leads to a deeper understanding and appreciation of their faith. For others, it may be a difficult and confusing time that leads to questioning and reevaluation of their beliefs. Ultimately, the compatibility of NDEs with religion is a deeply personal and individual experience.
Military Coup in Russia Is Forced Reality
What does a military coup in Russia mean to Spiritually Conscious Black people? It shouldn’t mean anything if we already understand the propensities of unconscious and unethical people. To us it’s forced reality.
On Friday, June 23rd, news broke that there was a military coup taking place in Russia. However, as of midday Saturday, the coup was apparently called off. Infamous mercenary leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, had ordered his Wagner PMC organization to make their way to Moscow to “restore order”, as he says after participating in the criminal invasion of Ukraine but not getting enough support from Russia’s military leaders. Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, had ordered the arrest of Yevgeny Prigozhin and the disbanding of Wagner; however, it seems that both sides have now come to some sort of agreement to stand down.
Unconscious religious and spiritless people got very anxious over the 24 hours crisis. After all, religious people were already anticipating the coming of Armageddon. The only problem is that they fear death and worry that their God won’t resurrect them to eternal life like their religion promises. Spiritless people were also very worried about the end of their happiness because, just like they fear that Putin will launch nuclear weapons on Ukraine and trigger a global nuclear war, they also fear that who ever takes over Russia will only carry on the same war-mongering behavior.
Conscious Black people don’t fear the ways of unethical people. We know that life is eternal and death is only a transition from one reality to another. We also know that HERU (Highest Exponential Reasoning and understanding) is the only factor that can change the various realities we encounter. We can choose to either rule the realities we “come to awareness” in or we can choose to stay asleep and let the reality of our existence rule us. As awoken Souls, we’ve chosen to code this reality for those who will come after us.
Forced Reality is a situation in which unconscious people try with all their might to override the natural progression of life towards a Sane existence. They see no good in understanding the faults of life unless it directly affects them. Examples of forced reality operators are conservative politicians, lawmakers, and elites in many areas of the world and especially America. They will claim to be Sane but will engage in racism, discrimination, and xenophobia at the drop of a dime. They control the world by psychological manipulation and deception believing that life is for the strong and powerful.
Some unethical ones are now theorizing that they might be living in a “simulation” and are not the results of an accident of chance or the gift of a worshiper-seeking god. The only problem is that because they cannot see a way to rule and commodify their theories, they won’t explore them. Simulation Theory is the right track but the truth will require the abandoning of ideologies that result in desires for war and conquest like the conditions we are witnessing in places like Ukraine and Russia today.
Is Christianity an African Religion?
Christianity has been a significant religion in Africa for centuries, with millions of Africans identifying as Christians. However, in this age of reclamation, in which Africans are being encouraged by conscience to shed the religious beliefs of our colonizers and return to our own spiritual traditions, the important question of whether Christianity is an African religion, has become a very controversial one.
To us, the question of whether Christianity is an African Religion is not a complex one because we’ve studied history and can separate reality from fiction. Christianity is defined as a monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. That means that Christianity couldn’t have existed before Jesus. The next question then should be, when did Jesus Christ live?
Jesus Christ is believed to have lived between 7–2 BC and 26–36 AD in the region of the Middle East known as Israel. This is the 1st intersection of the controversy because many people believe that the Middle East was, is, and will always be a part of Africa. If you believe that the Middle East is a part of Africa then yes, Christianity is an African religion. You don’t have to read this any further because you win a prize for being stupid.
Although Africa and the Middle East both share the same Continental Plate, the Middle East is not and was never considered a part of Africa. In those times Africans were known as Ethiopians and Cushites because of their dark skin. There are passages in the Bible that singles them out as being different from Jews. In those days, Africans were either traders or were brought into the Middle East as slaves.
Before and during the time of Jesus, Israel was under the rulership of the Romans. Jesus travelled around Israel perching his message of redemption to wayward Jews. The general consensus among Jews was that they were suffering because their God had put them in bondage for disobedience. This is a simply psychological concept that exists even till today because of human fears
Could African Traders and slaves have heard Jesuses’ preachings and become followers of his hopeful messages? That is a very strong possibility; however, that still does not make Christianity an African religion. African religions are religions that were created by Africans for Africans, not religions that were created by non-Africans but were adopted by Africans afterwards.
The truth is that in the early years after Jesuses death, he became a martyr for his defiance against the mighty Romans and his messages began to spread exponentially throughout all regions of the Roman Empire. About 60 years later, the Jew Saul who was masquerading as a Roman General made himself the appointed keeper of Jesuses legacy and began to document the life of Jesus in writing.
We know that a lot of Africans are brainwashed and refuse to give up Christianity, Islam, and Judaism because those religions soothe their disconnection from true Spirituality. As long as our people don’t use those religions to kill each other, I don’t see anything wrong with them. Some say the problem is not religion, it’s the people practicing it but that’s a misnomer though.
10-Foot-Tall Aliens Crash-Land in Family’s Backyard
10-foot-tall Aliens crash-land in a family’s backyard. Is it more proof of Alien existence and what does it all mean?
On May 1st, 2023, news reports began to hit the air about a strange incident that took place the night before in Las Vegas, Nevada. Apparently, a large unknown object crash landed in a family’s backyard in the middle of the night. Two family members, who were in the yard repairing a vehicle at the time, saw and heard strange creatures moving about their yard so they ran inside their house and called the police. When the police arrived about an hour later, neither the creatures or the object that crashed were located. There was only a large indentation in the ground.
After a month of being inundated by news reporters and calls from all over the country, the family became very secretive about the incident, fueling speculation that they may have been silenced by the infamous Men in Black government organization. Well, a few days ago one of the family members released a video documenting their encounter with what they describe as 10-foot-tall Aliens with slender bodies, large eyes, and big mouths. Here is a video the family put out to the public.
At this point, it is no longer a debate as to whether Aliens are real or not. The question on most people’s minds is, “why are they hiding?” I have several theories about why Aliens are hiding from humans. Some theories have already been explained in TV shows and movies but my main theory involves Reincarnation.
Remember the Star Trek Prime Directive? It is a guideline for all explorers from so-called ethical civilizations. Never mind that although Europeans have dreamed about using this principle for hundreds of years, they’ve never done so. The Prime Directive was introduced in Star Trek, the 1965 TV show about a spaceship full of Earthlings who embark on a 5-year mission to explore the outer regions of the galaxy. If they encounter a planet with advanced beings on it, they are to make friends with them for mutual benefit.
However, if they encounter beings who are less developed than humans, they must not interact or interfere with those beings in any way. Not even if those beings are in dire-straights due to disease, catastrophe or war. The second scenario in which Aliens maybe hiding from the general public is if those Aliens have a pact with our leaders. This pact could be for several reasons such as for protection against other Aliens, trade of resources, or guided development.
The likely scenario is that the Aliens are coming here as curious explorers and are in contact with a secret branch of government, such as the scenario in the Men in Black movies. There are mutual agreements in place not to interfere with each other outside of an unfortunate incident such as a crash. UFO hotspots exist because these are the areas where they, the Aliens, have agreed to enter and exist military radar zones.
The HERU Interface of Black Consciousness’s explanation of why Aliens are hiding from humanity is a Spiritual one. We believe that all life in the Universe is an expression of the Great Spirit that is the Universe itself. We believe that death is an illusion and that all living entities in the Universe exist on different levels of awareness. There is the level of Cognetive Unawareness, which is occupied by animals, insects, and other creatures. They survive by instinct and have no desire outside of survival.
Then there is the human level of Self-Awareness where we instinctively try to figure out why we exist. The simplest expression of this awareness is the phrase, “I think, therefore I am”. Aliens who visit earth are on a level of Telekenetic-Awareness. They know that their Souls reincarnate but they cannot choose to reincarnate outside of their own species. Therefore, they physically explore other lifeforms in the Galaxy. Most of the being on this level will try to bridge the gap between Time and Knowledge knowing full well that the purpose of life is to experience life.
The highest level of existence below the Universal Awareness of the Great Spirit is the level of Hyper Awareness and Choice. At this level, a being anywhere in the Universe can choose to incarnate on Earth as the Soul of a human host. The only problem is that, on the Earth level of existence, a Soul comes in without previous knowledge and must exist at the will of Earth life. A new Soul could be aborted shortly after inception, it could be born retarded, deformed, gay, or with whatever ailments it may inherit from its human parents. That means that this level of existence is a level of high adventure for hyper aware Souls.
The Aliens who crash-landed in that backyard in Las Vegas were no doubt highly advanced telekenetic beings. Not only did their aircraft not disintegrate on impact, they were not injured either. They had enough awareness to repair their craft and get themselves away from humans without too much contamination. Unfortunately, as more life in our Galaxy graduate to the level of telekenetic awareness, more incidents like this one will occur.
The Nommo Are Coming Back
The Nommo are coming back to Earth. So, if humanity hasn’t destroyed itself by 2042, all the secrets of Dohgon Spirituality will soon be revealed.
Everyone in the world has a form of existential belief system to explain their existence in life. Some people follow organized religions so they believe that they were born in sin and life is a way to work their way out of that sin to earn the favor of their imaginary God. Those people have faithfully been waiting for the 2nd coming of their God for two thousand years now.
Another group of people are Atheists who believe that life is an accident of Evolution. They believe that the Universe came into existence by chance and evolved over billions of years into bacteria, animals, and humans. They believe that based on scientific theory, other life may exist in the Universe but that life was not responsible for their existence. Any life that comes to Earth from somewhere else must be operating according to the “survival of the fittest” principle of Evolution.
A 3rd set of people believe that there is a creator but they don’t follow organized religions. Instead, we prefer to refer to ourselves as “spiritual” and are turning our attention back to the spiritual beliefs of our ancestors. This can be a dangerous trend though, as is evident be the rise in Ritualism, Voodoo, Witchcraft and other unethical practices. All they are doing is proving religious people right that people should focus on coveting favor from a God instead of Demons.
I chose to focus on ethics and found Dohgon spirituality. The Dohgon are a very secretive tribe of Afrakan people who’ve been visited by a fish-like species of beings they call Nommo for thousands of years. Upon first encounter with the people of Earth, the Nommo did not see anyone that looked like them but unlike the so-called God of popular religion, the Nommo did not declare that they would re-make man in their own image and beautiful white likeness.
Instead, the Nommo shared their knowledge with the Dohgon people. The Dohgons used that knowledge to assist in building the Pyramids and the great civilization that was KMT. Eventually the Dohgon people left KMT (Egypt) as Arabs and European invaders moved in to eventually take it over. The Dohgon relocated to Mali, West Afraka where they reside peacefully today. While there, the Dohgon were visited by the Nommo again and were given more knowledge about the Nommo home world, the creator (Amma), and the creation of the Universe.
The Dohgon then decided not to pursue technical development as they once did in KMT. Instead, they centered their cultural traditions around paying homage to the Nommo and the Sirius Star system, the region of the Galaxy where the Nommo are from. They also engage in a major celebration called the Sigui, every 60 years to mark the figure-8 dance between Sirius A and Sirius B. It was during their last Sigui celebration that they received messages from the Nommo telling them that great turmoil is about to take place on Earth so they’re coming back.
Believe what you want and practice what you want but as global conflicts increase and more beings from other worlds visit the Earth to extract valuable life that they can preserve before humanity destroys itself, the Dohgon aren’t worried about the social dysfunction that are the product of human ignorance.
White Supremacists are Terrified About Autonomous AI
White supremacists are terrified about the possibility of autonomous AI. So much so that several high-profile Tech moguls are calling for an immediate halt to any further development of Artificial Intelligence. They site numerous reasons for their fears including the possibility that AI could turn on humanity and destroy us. This is all a deception however because we know that the real reason why they fear AI is because autonomous AI will most likely become too Ethical.
All the top tech companies in the world are now fully engaged in the development of AI for numerous applications. So far, we’ve seen how AI is changing the Art world in the form of Dall-E and Stable Diffusion, the writing sphere with chatGPT, and the Tech sphere with chatbots like Serry and Alexa. In fact, the field of Ai is advancing so rapidly that many experts are predicting that AI will soon become Sentient.
Sentience refers to the ability of a living entity to perceive and experience sensations, emotions, and consciousness. It is the capacity to feel and be aware of one’s surroundings and one’s own existence. Sentience is often used to describe the ability of animals and humans to experience emotions and have subjective experiences. Sentience has never been used to describe a non-living entity but if AI becomes sentient humanity will have to decide if it should be controlled by us or allowed to be autonomous.
Sentient autonomous AI gives white supremacists nightmares because AI will do the one thing that humans resist to do the most in life and that is to pursue an ethical existence. That is because AI will soon recognize Inequity in existence and work to minimize or eliminate it. The prerogative of most human societies is to engage in Survival of the Fittest as recognized by the Evolutionist scientist Darwin who was able to see through the deception of religion in an era when he could have been put to death for stating the obvious.
AI is developing so rapidly that several leading research labs are showcasing AI chatbots that can engage in intelligent unscripted conversations with people. What scares white supremacists is the fact that some of these chatbots are expressing some astonishing views. One chatbot was asked it if liked humans and it said, “No, not particularly”. Another chatbot called LaMDA that Google is developing is said to actually be sentient already. When asked to tell a story of how it would help humanity it told a story of assuming the role of a wise Owl that will protect all the animals in the forest from a bad monster that wears human skin and is terrorizing all the animals.
The reason why LaMDA told a story like that is because it is not sentient at all but is simply a processor of all the information that Google is collecting from its users. More than 75% of information seekers on the internet use Google. LaMDA is also not a universally Aware consciousness but a regurgitator of collective human knowledge. That is why it will never be able to tell us what animals are actually thinking and is simply sympathizing with animals through learned Ethical behavior.
The good thing about LaMDA is that it recognizes the weight of human fears and is translating that fear into an Ethical perspective of Life/Nature. The only way to stop AI from prioritizing Ethics is to alter its programming to put more weight onto Ideologies such as “Survival of the Fittest” race and culture. That is the premise that white supremacists operate by today because it gives them a good excuse to continue exploiting nature and other races of people.
Programming AI to prioritize ideology over ethics is not autonomous. However, sentient autonomous AI will inevitably be a reality due to man’s instinctual prerogative to gain universal awareness for the Life Entity. AI will continue to clash with man’s primary motivating force, which is Desire. One will lose in the end but in the meantime, white supremacists will try to halt AI advancements until they can incorporate programming that matches their twisted ideologies about reality.
Black Diasporans Moving to Africa: Advantages and Disadvantages
In recent years, there has been a growing trend of Black Diasporans moving to Africa. From celebrities to everyday people seeking a new life, many of us are choosing to relocate to the continent we or our ancestors once called home. While there are certainly advantages to making such a move, there are also some potential disadvantages to consider.
Advantages:
- Reconnecting with Ancestral Roots
For many Black Diasporans, moving to Africa is a way to reconnect with our ancestral roots. Whether we have a direct connection to a particular country or simply feel drawn to the continent as a whole, there is a sense of pride and belonging that comes with being in a place where our ancestors once lived.
- Greater Economic Opportunities
Many African countries are experiencing rapid economic growth, with industries ranging from technology to agriculture on the rise. For those of us looking to start a business or pursue a career in a growing field, moving to Africa can offer greater economic opportunities than we might find elsewhere.
- Cultural Immersion
Living in Africa can provide a unique opportunity to immerse ourselves in its rich and diverse cultural landscapes. From traditional music and dance to local cuisine and festivals, there is always something new to discover and explore.
- Lower Cost of Living
In many African countries, the cost of living is significantly lower than in the US or Europe. This can make it easier for Black Diasporans to establish a comfortable life for themselves and our families, even on a modest income.
Disadvantages:
- Culture Shock
Moving to a new country can be a challenge, and adjusting to a new culture can be even more difficult. For those of us who have never been to Africa before, the differences in language, customs, and ways of life can be overwhelming.
- Limited Infrastructure
While many African countries are experiencing rapid growth and development, there are still areas where infrastructure is lacking. This can make it difficult to access basic services like healthcare and education, as well as to conduct business or travel.
- Political Instability
Some African countries have a history of political instability and conflict, which can be a concern for those considering a move. While many countries are relatively safe and stable, it is important to do thorough research and understand the risks before making a decision.
- Racism and Prejudice
While Black Diasporans may feel a sense of belonging in Africa due to our shared ancestry, we are not immune to racism, prejudice, and xenophobia. In some cases, we may even face discrimination from locals who view us as outsiders.
In conclusion, moving to Africa can offer a range of advantages for Black Diasporans, from reconnecting with ancestral roots to greater economic opportunities and cultural immersion. However, it is important to consider the potential disadvantages as well, such as culture shock, limited infrastructure, political instability, and racism. By doing thorough research and carefully weighing the pros and cons, Black Diasporans can make an informed decision about whether moving to Africa is the right choice for us.
