A tripped person can take multiple steps in a free-falling trajectory before finally landing on the ground.
Intelligent individuals who have fallen look for what initiated it, not at the end result.
They look for the crack their soul caught got caught in, not the place where their hand skidded them to a stop.
To do otherwise would be like looking at symptoms or outcomes as the cause of an illness or difficulty, instead of as indications of where to find it.
Afrikan people must stop looking to the indicators of our plight to locate what caused us to fall so far from the Grace of our ancestors.
Knowing that we have the highest crime, incarceration, divorce, poverty and homeless rates and the lowest average educational attainments, income and wealth, and shortest and most pain-racked lifespans, does not tell us the source of these problems.
We should know that any problems Source must be understood in order to solve the problem.
And even if we work to solve the problem, the solution is only temporary, unless we correct it at its root.
To find the root of our problem, we have to go back to the Motherland when we first stumbled, not here.
It is there that we stumbled over our own genius and misguided humanity, as well as the feet intentionally placed in our path by impolite aliens.
It is because we have not come to grips with this that we rise only to stumble again here.
Affirm: I look to where we stumbled to see why we have fallen and how to rise.
