We had to rush thru some very important information & by doing so, emphasis & fuller explanation -we felt- was not given.

Therefore this quick show will attempt to do this serious topic the justice it deserves.

Again, go to the original show of the same name & within the 'Program Description' is the Google Docs link to the article we are addressing--The Deep Structure of Culture: Relevance of Traditional African Culture in Contemporary Life by Prof. Linda J. Myers

We have alluded to it before, but finally we shall delve deeply into CULTURE & its 3 levels.

Its Uppermost--SURFACE

next level down--IDEATIONAL

deepest level--ASSUMPTIONS

We will go through a magnificent article by Linda James Myers, using the work of Dr. Wade Nobles and others, to help PROPERLY understand the depths of culture as well as erase misconceptions & misunderstandings about culture. We will also discuss the implications of operating out of another groups culture & how especially detrimental that is for Afrikan people worldwide.

Below is the entire article we will be using for the listeners to copy, print & follow along or follow along on the computer or other device as it is being broken down. We hope this will be a very en-dark-ening show.

ARE WE AFRIKANS WITH amerikkkanisms or amerikkkans with AFRIKANISMS??

This was the title of the debate that started my blogtalkradio process. I want to say MEDASE (thank you) to Mr. Holipsism & Ambassador Ausar for originally hosting this crucial talk.

Of course, I, Kamau Makesi-Tehuti, took the former position & Asar took the losing/latter position (we are amerikkkans).

In the issue of fairness, this is the link to Asar's notes that he will be referencing in his talk.

It has recently been brought to my attention, 2 clips of farrakhan's, where he shared some very, very ANTI-AFRIKAN sentiments. We will play the clips & get your reactions.

Some are saying this is an extinction-level event for the moribund n.o.i. organization.

What do YOU have to say about it???

Today we will do some cleaning up from last weeks show and delve a little, back into Identity.

This isn't part 2 of our Identity Series...more like 1.5

(THIS IS PART 1 TO THE spillover discussion topic BELOW)

The expansion of Afrika's ReAscention starts today!!!

We will have some important preliminary book discussions...that even though I haven't fully read, I feel COMPELLED to discuss now, however cursorily.

1--Reading the World by Dr. Kwesi Konadu and

2--Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention by Prof. Manning Marable

(I reserve the right to have follow up discussions on these books as they are more fully read)

Identity, Afrikan Centeredness, Natiion Building, Pan Afrikanism, etc

Tonight, we shall wrap up this portion of our Identity Confusion series engaging how WE ARE STILL AFRIKAN PEOPLE, even in the midsts of of white supremacy.Understanding who we were, who we are, our history, our potential & our capacity for reclaiming our Greatness are all directly linked to an accurate acknowledgment of our Identity. This show & this series is NOT to be missed!

Today we will dig deeper into our current Identity Confusion by readdressing sections of my triumphant debate on identity last year. We will look into ALL the factors that actually make up one's identity & discuss factors that show HOW WE ARE STILL AFRIKAN PEOPLE today.

 

Today we will also introduce (for a more full perusal on future shows), The Akoto Family's REAFRIKANIZATION PROCESS as well as Dr. Wade Nobles' (Nana Kweku Berko I) AFRIKAN CENTERED BEHAVIORAL CHANGE MODEL.

The 86 year old Baba Omowale will be our focus tonight as WE COME BACK HOME!!!!

We will hear his own words and a brief talk I gave recently regarding the new book on Baba Omowale by Manning Marable.

May 19th, 1925 was when our Black Shining Prince was given to the Afrikan world
