What you have down there is of utmost importance to me: Application. It won't be good enough for me to just be able to look @ all the info we've compiled and say "gee, we sure were/are smart!" and then move on. Definitely it's about Sankofa 4 me, what lessons are we going to take from the past to get us out of our present predicament. My professor suggests that then (and we talked about this X (xenophilia)) we did not know the nature of the european, i believe now we have sufficent experience in dealings with white consciousess not to make the same mistakes our ancestors did. At the same time, i think we have to look at what we were doing right, and go back to that. I personally am looking for a "Weheme Mesu": a renaissance, a reclaiming of Our Way.
so for me i done know seh the egyptians were Black, Diop did melanin dosage tests, we have eyewitness a/cs so i'm not really looking to prove this anymore b/c u won't be able to convince ppl who r not open to it.
I'm really looking for how our ppl did everyday things too, not everyone was a Sage, there were regular ppl w/ marital probs and raising children etc., i mean some things are timeless, i'd like for us to reject western ways of dealing w/ these everyday things b/c they don't work for us (and prolly don't work for them either). i want us to remember that we did things from a different place (Maat, not capitalism) and that place works better for us.
So when i ask "do u think courtship and marriage is a viable alternative for us?" what i should really ask is how we as ppl living in a western society can adapt our ways of old to our current situation. So if we had family taking care of things before and now we have situations where some of us don't have family, what do we do? So if we could integrate these kinds of questions, questions of application to the here and now, that would be good.
Enough of me.
BTW: X i read one of your articles quite good!
