Culture-ritis . . . meek streak

"Shhh . . . what you are about to read is politically incorrect. Tafadhali, repeat only in whispers."

Nothing Worthwhile Can Be Built On A False Foundation.

I agree with most of what you said. I would add, however, that "blacks" have been using that excuse of being shorn (as with sheep) of Afrikan culture for over a hundred years. In Afrika, as in the Americas, because of the many worthless features of Afrikan cultures, Arabs and European colonizers have made millions of "blacks" their inferior CARBON-COPIES.

I submit to you that if someone takes something from you, you take it back; you don't just go on whining about it ad infinitum -- unless you're a meek hypocrite. Coming out of slavery, these CARBON-COPIES had been imitating the features of the culture of the English, Spaniards, French, and Portuguese -- all white people -- for centuries, and their communities developed parallel -- as carbon-copies -- with the white communities.

These "blacks"should have broken from that Culture-ritis producing disease in the '60s when they and whites put their lives on the line and were dragged into jails and prisons, beaten bloody in the streets -- especially by white Christians in the South -- to take the CARBON-COPIES from their meek acceptance of white identities and customs. In fact, in the '60s Dr. Maulana Karenga brought Swahili and the first uniquely Afrikan American celebration, Kwanzaa, to the CARBON-COPIES. But, today, over forty years later, the Seven Principles (Nguzo Saba) of Kwanzaa still aren't practiced in any Afrikan American community in the U.S. And the vast majority of Afrikan Americans would die 20,000 deaths rather than speak Swahili or any other Afrikan language.

These CARBON-COPIES -- identifying with the Afrikan ancestors who got off the boats on the shores of the Americas -- can look to the Afrika of today and select those cultural features that are conducive to progress, and flush any ignorant, superstitious crap down the toilet. People bond together around their unique names, language, and customs, and they support the people of their group, economically, politically, and socially. People of a strong culture -- such as as the Jews -- are noted for producing scientists, physisists, surgeons, philosophers, highly acclaimed teachers, writers, artists, in short, intellectual giants.
