Hello! I was trying to get in contact with your team on Instagram for permission to use a portion of this video.

For those who have read of my humble expression: Planetary Master Heroes, please disregard the following message concerning Afrofuturism. I am a student or human culture. Not tribalism. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Humor me. How often has a child held up his or her creative efforts to a parent and asked: "Look Mommy- or pappa.What do you think about my work?" We know, those of us who are parents how praise follows. So know one should poo poo the efforts of others once we become or are adults. So to the heart of what would now say - I have no agenda. But I Have somewhat transcended race savagery. To that end I believe that those of African heritage should, humbly speaking, not fail to realize that they (myself included) are- throughout the diaspora- a Native people along side say, the Ainu of Japan; or the Aboriginals of Australiia; to say nothing of the Native People of America; or perhaps the pre-t Druid, pre European people of Transcaucasia. My point is that, like that chiild, boundless creativity is not a spectator sport. Be thankful for what our ancestors bequeathed to us - us in particular, as quote: negro, colored, black, and now, Afrofuturists. Again I ask my parents :when do I grow up and join the family of the Tortured Soul of the Brotherhood of humanity. And maybe get beyond the Meshuganeh Dystopian Pandemic of Police Brutality and Race savagery - even when hidden behind such tribalist notions of Futursm. Finally I humbly ask that we come to realize - beyond al anthropocentrism - that we are Planetary Master heroes. As a caveat I I hasten to add that we begin with 'self mastery'. Thanks for your time.

can i have opinions about afrofuturism

[gregoryford]

As an addenda, Self Mastery does not mean any new ethnic form of tribalism. So let others come up with yet another theory of ' sticks and stones'. Be warriors, not
Mere idealogues. Future generations will thank you for it. Namaste.
