I dare u to call urself Afrikan-centered and disagree. All manner of sneaky feminism and Black man hate gotta be left in the ugly world it came from. Historically/culturally speaking, it aint Afrikan. We need return to our ancestral values of mutual respect in order to be able to build the kind of just, free and peaceful societies our ancestors lived in and we all deserve.
We believe by modeling the best values of our forebearers we can live fulfilling individual lives as well as come together to produce and do great and beautiful things as a ppl.
The principal of ubuntu reminds us of our interdependence. I am bc we are. From the family that birthed me to the food I eat but didn't plant or harvet, my very existence is dependent upon others.
The Isese tradition, in typical Afrikan fashion, repeatedly reminds us that the Most High favors and blesses groupings/unions/togetherness as evidenced by the forest, the savanah, the earth itself (Osa-Gunda), as the deep dark impressive forest is made up of individual trees, the endless savannah is formed by individual blades of grass, the earth's oceans are formed from the collection of innumerable drops, the land by innumerable grains. Tradition teaches us to work together, collaborate, form unions. That coming together in harmony gives rise to good things.
If a person says no to the post, what are they arguing FOR? The most important thing our sistas, or any of us for that matter, can do is work for rich ppl in their corproations? Be self centered mindless consumers? Make money? Not develop self? Not form and stregnthen bonds between us? Sounds real pro capitalist, soulless (consumption for consumption's sake), and materialistic/materialist. U live in a society that thinks like that already tho (USA), and look at all the consequences.
This is why we say we need a complete liberation/transformation.
Not just material conditions need to change, but our hearts and minds too. Sick Black ppl cannot build a healthy free Black society. This includes all forms of gender chauvanism and antagonism.
