IKS | Colonialism | Rastafari | Christianity | uNkulunkulu | Jews | Funeral Customs | Ancestors

Abba Ayalew Amlak - Usilo Samanzi & Haramanuba Thau Thau - BaKeHaSe High Sanusi engage in an in-depth conversation about how our African rituals and customs have been corrupted in the process of translation and how we have lost our indigenous knowledge systems with the advent of colonialism.

As an African who was born and raised in the west, I cannot fully express how proud I feel listening to you guys philosophizing about the existential situation of the AFRICAN PEOPLE; especially when you do so in some of the native African languages. I am indeed impressed by your courage to analyze the Bible in the manner that you do. Europeans and Arabs have really done a masterful job in using their religions and education systems in subjugating the AFRICAN PEOPLE and plundering the MOTHERLAND. The one-sided interaction between such foreigners and the AFRICAN PEOPLE has resulted in the complete enslavement of the AFRICAN mind and the colonization of the African continent. Analogically speaking, Christianity and Islam were the toxins that were used to reduce the African People to their current state. You guys are, therefore, on the right track in recognizing that the only genuine cure for the plight to which BLACK people have been relegated is a new system of thought or frame of mind that will function as an antidote to the venom now plaguing the race. Different individuals and institutions would offer a plethora of solutions to the current state of affairs. But there is really no need for anyone to try the reinvent the wheel. As you guys have shown, Africans have a rich history which provides an immense pool of ideas for resuscitating the African race. Besides, His Imperial Majesty (HIM) Emperor Haile Selassie I, The Right Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, and other enlightened BLACK thinkers like President Kwame Nkrumah and Malcolm X have provided a valuable road map for genuine BLACK development. This alternative road map or paradigm shift has come to be known as the Rastafarian Movement or Philosophy of RASTAFARI. Unfortunately, as Dr. Joy DeGruy explains in her book POST TRAUMATIC SLAVE SYNDROME, it will take a considerable period of time for the AFRICAN PEOPLE to rid themselves of the intensity of the dehumanization wrought upon them by Arabs and Europeans. Dr. DeGruy’s findings have been convincingly corroborated by scientists at Duke University who have concluded that it is easier to domesticate the puppies of dogs than the puppies of wolves because the puppies of dogs, unlike the puppies of wolves, have inherited the domesticated genes of their forebears. It is as a result of this phenomenon that BLACK people are still finding it extremely difficult to rid themselves of the “slavery” syndrome. The task ahead is, therefore, great indeed. And given the efforts of such Eurocentric field marshals like Pastor Peter Youngren, and Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the task seems to be an unending one. A clear case in point is Prof. PLO Lumumba who, despite his wealth of education and his captivating eloquence, is unable to consider that Christianity and Islam (by extension) are the root causes for the backwardness of the AFRICAN PEOPLE. Those of us who have seen the light through the fledgling Philosophy of RASTAFARI must therefore keep pressing on. For, unless BLACK people are able to show that they have fully emancipated themselves from the shackles of their enslavement, they would be unable to truly contend that they are equal to other races.

Yes as an Indian i do believe that u have to first recognize ur roots...india is seeing transformation because now we are working with pride on ourselves, we, our ancestors are our inspiration, we have finally come over the inferiority complex.
Do u know the indus valley civilization also practised life after death concept just like Africans. I feel really sad how africans' identity is totally erased, do not worry everything will be in its place...u r on right path realization is the 1st step

Development with holding African culture close to ur heart should be way forward.
Go Africa our wishes, prayers are with you🙂🙏👍

I was born in the Congo and raised in Australia. Southern and Central Africa are Bantu, and we have a lot of similarities in cultures and languages. My dad went to Cape Town for medical treatment, and he was able to understand Zulu when his nurses were speaking. I am loving this show, and I hope they can do more interviews like this to open our eyes, especially for Africans raised in Western countries.

Best wishes to your Channel from India. African continent is quite similar to the Indian subcontinent I always felt as an Indian student of History. We share civilisational heritage and generations of ancestral knowledge. Before introduction of Christianity, Both India and different empires of Africa were very wealthy and had rich culture and religion. No one can understand the plight of African colonization better than us Indians. The whites labelled us Black and Brown people of being uncivilized and Jungle people. I wish African nations also decolonize and gets rid of all Unafrican religions. Every religion has a right to be practiced. It was very interesting to know about the funeral practices in Pre colonized Nigeria. The practices were logical and thoughtful. I wish for a stronger than ever Global south. All of us colonized countries should move back to our culture and traditions and reject European culture. May our Great ancestors bless the beautiful Lands of Africa and India!!! 🇮🇳 🤝 🇳🇬

If you are here to listen India mentioned in this discussion. It starts at 19.30 . Your Welcome!

[sjekula]

I like this topic. I've always wondered what the true African way to conduct funerals is because our funerals have become so Christianised.

[nyikobaloyi]

Not even 10 minutes into this and I’m already getting critical African knowledge. This is going to be great!

19:45 i am indian 🇮🇳.Not accurate Actually it's the British who copied many things for indian culture from food to clothing many British things are actually indian.
Many British foods are heavily influenced by indian food.
British fashion and clothing took many things from India. British jewelry designs in 17th 18th 19th century are indian.
Victorian fashion was heavily influenced by India – thanks to the use of Indian fabrics, including cotton and silk, in the making of British clothes. Britons also adopted and imitated Indian patterns, style, motifs and even garments – such as pyjamas and the Kashmir shawl.
Culture evolve over time. British just claim things the way they do things are taken from rest of the world.
Your believes in God is your personal choice.
What i am trying to say is culture won't stuck in past it keeps evolving. Human beings try to improve them self over time culture also improves. Nothing wrong in adopting to improve. that's how British culture came into existence they took better things from rest of the world and labelled it as British. By saying "it's a British thing we should not follow" we closing our mind... Adopt Better things from any part of the world. Create your own trend which attracts global audience like pop Culture and fashion industry etc... It has nothing to do with religion or god. 🙏

Interesting discussion. Love from India❤🇮🇳
