“We see such indiscipline on every front, such a lack of focus on the Creator God who honors African humanity as no one else does on Earth today. In your view, as we have returned home for this observational mission, how do you think we see, the status of the “African” continent? Or your status as “African” peoples? 

What do you expect us to say of you about this matter? How do you explain yourselves and your situation before the Creator of the Universe? That enslavement did it? Or colonization? Or your own corruption? Or Disease? Or your ignorance of world history? Or your inability to make things that you need to live well? Or your failure to create your own systems that would facilitate a dignified existence for all your people, in your cities, and in your rural communities?

“Just what words would you use in your conversation with our powerful ancestral ranks; since we were the world’s governing bodies of antiquity; the military, and education, and scientific, and technology leaders of the world for five thousand years, while also being faithful custodians of God’s Planet Earth, that alone can support life as you see it today? 

How did you sink so low, being descendants of such powerful Indigenous African Kings and Queens of antiquity?” The voice of the Ancestral Spokesperson was livid by the end of his interrogation.

Most of the spiritually-hearing intellectual African descendants could not find a satisfying way to address the barrage of these embarrassing Ancestral questions. But one of them courageously ventured, justified his own anger at the Ancestors’ lack of understanding about the “Plight of Africa” and of its Indigenous peoples, everywhere, living as unwanted nuisances of the Earth, no matter where they interact with peoples of other continents. Angry at the ancestors, this one ventured, generally exonerating all Africans who belong to his generation; also begging these ancestors for money, especially in overseas currency. 

He tempered his voice so he wouldn’t sound angry. “Ah, my fathers and mothers, sit and listen to my troubles. You have neglected me. Oh, correction, it’s not about me. I have not learned about the Creator God Who loves you, because of the racism I suffer everywhere. So, I took other people’s explanations of God to try to save myself from them who are more powerful than all African peoples can fathom. 

“This is why we have not learned to make the things we need to live by ourselves. I wasn’t going to cry; but my children and I; we are so poor; we can’t even think about you who are our ancestors. Well, about Creator God anyway. We think more about those who donate money to us. Um, I mean. We don’t think about ourselves. We learn only how they see us as poor and helpless. And, i-i-i…; u-m-mmm, the truth is we are poor and helpless as you can see; we like them who tell us the truth. Our truth is that we are very poor.”

To the dithering mind of the descendant, the Ancestral Spokesperson said with gritted teeth, “A-continent-that-doesn’t-know-how-to-make-anything-that-it-needs-to-live-by-is-destined-to-collapse! You rely on medicines from other continents, technology made by others than yourselves; transportation implements made by others than yourselves; weapons designed elsewhere; roads and airports constructed for you by companies from overseas, electric grids created and maintained for you by others, books and stories written by others than yourselves; fabrics and clothes made for you; farming equipment made for you; food packaging made for you; cities built for you; economies designed for you, money created for you. Even your country flags were designed for you, with logos that do not represent anything authentic to your cultures. 

“Your stories about the Creator of the Universe were told to you by someone else; and you believe and subscribe to those stories more than you desire to know the Creator of the Universe! How you speak to God or about God was given to you by people who call you monkeys when they are by themselves; people who despise you; who appropriated your heritage and enslaved you and continue to enslave you because they have theorized that “Africans” are NOT fully human. And you beg them to see you as their equals?

“You trust the same systems that enslaved and colonized you more than you trust the potential in the development of your own minds, the minds of the children, to grow up and construct the implements that they need to live by. How do you build a continent on systems created for you by people determined to keep you and your children down and eventually, to wipe your race off the face of the Earth? 

“First, change the name of the continent. Change the name of the continent from ‘Africa,’ a word for which you have no meaning in most of your own languages. Change the name of the continent to SUN CONTINENT or CONTINENT OF THE SUN. Its people will be called SUN PEOPLE or PEOPLE OF THE SUN.

“Immediately remove the artificial divisions that you call ‘countries.’ Those borders were put in place as a mechanism to make someone other than yourselves wealthy; and to destroy your competitive powers as one continental economic block. “African” Families and Business People waste hours, days, negotiating trade-border-crossings among themselves, instead of doing work that generates resources for the continent’s material and spiritual well-being.”
