To fear your ancestors is to fear yourself. It is an expression of self-hatred, giving you and everyone around you permission to treat you, your culture and descendants as disposable. Tell me, could YOU be love? And could you be loved? Self-love is a really complicated story for us folks who identify as Black African. It lies beneath layers of racist indoctrination. Personally, I do not waste much or any energy getting mad about the indoctrination. I prefer to tap into the wealth of ancestral legacy and firmly root my self-concept in that archive of stories. You? . . . Posted @withregram • @odunifehistory Follow @odunifehistory I’ve always wondered about this. Surely I’m not the only one?👀 …And, the ones who have taught us to fear our ancestors have their own ancestors (even the evil ones) commemorated, honored, remembered by way of huge statues and monuments in their cities, town-halls, streets, and high places. What a conundrum 🤔😢 . . . . . . . . . #africanhistory #imhotepfacts #panafrican #odunife #Africa #african #jamesbaldwin #africatotheworld #chakabars #blackhistorians #blackpeoplemagic #blackhistory365 #proudtobeblack #africanunity #unapologeticallyafrican #carribeanpeople #abenafrica #afrocentric #africanculture #melaninmagic #africanempowerment #africanartefacts #west2westmovement #chinuaachebe #narrativesmatter #blackouttuesday #performativeactivism #africanhistory #afrocentric #indigenous #libation https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNf41kBPPe/?utm_medium=tumblr
