Really, focus on problems is not the primary drive behind this blog. However, we must continue to apprise ourselves of the situations we face as a people. To be informed, and continuous study helps lend the urgency to our work. Anyway, many of us may not be aware of the seriousness that we face. We may not see the connections between us here and us there. Even after Dr. King told us that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". We must remind ourselves of the hope, the inevitable gains and the inevitable losses that we face in our quest to be Afrikan people.

Show me where "foreign nationals" are so harassed and degraded in any Afrikan nation because they are from China or India or anywhere for that matter! Yes, Afrikan hospitality is unsurpassed and that is great...
However, the Afrikan life has value to ourselves and to the world--none of us seem to notice that right now. This is why the "interjection" of the Afrikan personality onto the world stage is crucial. We have got to increase our value in our minds and in the way we project ourselves so that the world knows what it is dealing with--The Original People and The Original High Culture! Take a clue from our ancestors, who sent us a message "Know Thyself"...
