Duty of memory: many consider that Blacks/Africans have not sufficiently marked History; some come to the brutal conclusion that Blacks/Africans have no history, or that their history dates back to European colonization; However, more than any other continent, Africa has a glorious past, the hidden and erased history of an exalted people; « There is no philosophy when it comes to talking about the history of Black/African civilizations in the world, no people in the world alive today are unaware or claim to be ignorant of their past, their history » ... (VIDEO) Every people in the world living today lives with its cultural memory. It is of the utmost importance to know one's history, the cultural evolution of one's people, in time and space, to better grasp and understand the incessant progress of humanity, and also to contribute to it, with complete lucidity, and responsibility.

Duty of Memory: The challenges of the study of Black/African cultures, when we undertake studies on the cultures of the peoples of Africa, we are often confronted with several challenges in particular (the language of study, doctrinal approaches, paradigms, context); « The systematic use of Western semantics, for example, has proven to be a major challenge because it constitutes a trap when attempting to study Black/African cultures » As a result, scholars strive to convey ideas from Africa with a deliberate approach that distorts, alters, and misleads, more often than not, not only the deeper meaning of Black/African cultural truth but also historical truth. « At the semantic level, among the Kongo people for example, the term, which is used to designate (slavery) in the Kikôngo language, is said (N’wûmbu) ».

Duty of Memory: Tell us what animal you tame, we will tell you who you are; where the Whites/Westerners tame the dog, the Blacks/Africans, they tame the feline, (Africa is not an orphan because it has lost father and mother, but because it has lost hope); « The main difference between Europe and Africa is that Africa is original without making too much noise and that Europe is a mediocre pirate who makes too much noise like an empty barrel when it rolls » ... (VIDEO) Black/African peoples, our past is our root, our memory is our identity (if we forget who we were in the past, we obviously lose our identity, our languages and the names of our kingdoms and kings/queens); « A people who have no historical consciousness are a people who self-destruct, a people inclined or doomed to disappear; (it is thanks to its past, its history, its tradition and its culture that a serious people forge a glorious destiny) ».

Duty of Memory: Africanism is a volatile paradigm, on the doctrinal level, Africanism is understood as being the study of all subjects concerning Africa, & on the literary level, Africanism would be in a turn of expressions specific to European languages spoken in Black Africa or used by writers of Black/African origin; « Africanists are therefore these non-Black/African researchers, for the most part, specialists in languages, civilizations and Black/African history » Of course, Africanists are free, according to the methods and epistemology of their doctrine, to study Africa or Black/African peoples, but what is serious and unbearable is that Africanists, from generation to generation, for many centuries and all without exception, have studied Black/African civilizations according to exclusively European criteria and models so that in the end they all end up being (Euro-centrist).

Duty of Memory: Many dishonest and racist researchers still try today to make us believe that the ancient Sudanese and the ancient Egyptians had no connection between them; « They also try to make us believe that Ta-Seti (Kush) was just a simple copy of Ta-Meri (Kama), but above all that they were totally different, this although the Culture, Spirituality and roots of the Kamtiu (Low Countries) can be easily traced all along the Nile to the interior of Africa and more particularly to Sudan (High Countries) » This is why, when the Nubians saw that Ta-Meri had problems with the neighboring Asians who were trying to invade their Lands, they returned to the Nile Delta, to drive out the foreigners manu-militari and restore the Black/African identity in this region, which was gradually losing its ancestral values, because of the numerous attacks of the invaders, but especially because of the alliance of a few opportunistic local kinglets who were trying to take power.

3 Senegalese, 1 Nigerian and 1 Ivorian do they really represent all of #Africa's #intelligensia? Where are the intellectuals from the other regions of Africa - Northern, Central, Eastern and Southern Africa??? Jeune Afrique should widens it horizon and stop predominantly focusing on the former French Colonies (most of which are laggards when benchmarked against the other regions) which give a very distorted picture of what is going on across the African continent.

Duty of Memory: Why did the Catholic Church support slavery and colonization? The Vatican is at the heart of the great plagiarism and cover-up that the Church has perpetrated over the centuries; (secret archives reveal a vast, carefully planned theft plot to dispossess Black/African peoples of their identity); « We then understand the reasons why the Church even legalized, supported slavery and facilitated the colonization of Africa » The goal was not only to (decimate, ferociously, destroy, and prevent any reconstitution of this ancestral knowledge stolen from Africa) in the first centuries of our era after their so-called AD. J-C; as if the invasion and destruction of Egypt were not enough, the papacy was adamant in preventing any attempt to reconquer the Black/African claims of the glorious Black/African civilization.

Duty of Memory: Mixed couples in Black/African history (Black/African Man - White/Western Woman), Several Black/African men, who have marked the contemporary history of Africa have had White/Western wives, but why? This is proof that the Black/African Man is still a slave and will always remain a slave, are there no women in Africa? Aren't they pretty for the so-called fighters for the liberation and emancipation of black/African peoples? Top 12, the list is not exhaustive; complete it here:

From today's CBC/Radio-Canada Espaces Autochtones piece by Delphine Jung on Indigenous peoples in Canada's historical narrative - [Original text and audio in French] "Mohawk historian Taiaiake Alfred, who works for a group dedicated to restoring traditional Indigenous governance, believes that 'the narrative in which Indigenous are victims needs to be changed to one in which settlers are thieves. [The settlers] weren't ethical, they were devious. And that's the truth, because we lost our land not because of any weakness inherent in our culture, but because the colonizer was much better organized to trick us, to take advantage of divisions.' Alfred... believes that this is not a simple story of oppressor and victim. 'It's a very complex story of political relations, whose common thread is the machination of colonial society to divide First Nations and pit them against each other in order to impose a false version of history and dispossess us." #truthandreconciliationday https://lnkd.in/gfhn7mGm

Duty of Memory: Observation and question of curiosity to all Blacks/Africans, especially those from Africa, (why if a Black/African, photographs himself with a White/Westerner, does he display a broad smile displaying all his teeth as if he were next to Nzambé himself? And in the meantime, he even forgets that it is because of these Whites/Westerners that we find ourselves in the shit we are in today The human being is a complex reality that inscribes a necessary diversity in his environment. When the norm is written from the point of view of the victors/colonizers; because of the stereotypes of the European colonizers, entire peoples were often considered as crazy and uncontrollable threats, with the sole aim of making them appear as non-human or inferior beings.
