Re: The Black Child: A Destiny In Jeopardy

Ses,
My question which in all probability appeared to be somewhat simplistic, was desigined to determine if a line of demarcation existed between the antagonist and protagonist and if any of it was shared and influenced by the initial observations.

While I support in principle the central observations that you articulated, there are some fundamental views that I have acquired as a result of my life experiences. The first, is that an overwhelming majority of those individuals whose designation is black and who find the term acceptable, will, in time disappear entirely. That is to say that by abdicating the responsibility to assert and protect their identity for future generations they have capitulated to the dominence of whites. We must keep in mind the tragedy of the descendents of slaves somewhat removed,spending their entire lives emulating the core values of the descendents of their former slave masters. Without a blueprint they have unconsciously determined that assimilation is the prudent way to go.In this continent the perception of consumer and entertainer is still the prevailing sentiment. In time their minds could be beyond rehabilitation. So in my view, the only hope lies in Africa. There is however, a factor whose role could impact the outcome and I refer to it without hesitation or apprehension and in it's broad reference "Men of Goodwill" could be a key facilitator.
