FROM THE "DIVINE SPEECH" OF THE NILE VALLEY TO SOCIAL MEDIA TODAY, BLACK PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS PUT GREAT VALUE IN COMMUNICATING

2/20/2015

26 Comments

 
Picture
The Nile Valley exists as the birthplace of civilization, as people began organizing society and understandings of the natural order of life around the Nile River over 10,000 years ago.
Picture
The language and writing system of this ancient civilization emerged in 3100 BCE and is called Mdw Ntr, which may be translated as “Divine Speech,” or as the Greeks named the ancient writing system, Hieroglyphs or “sacred images.”

During the periods of antiquity in the Nile Valley, the basis of social organization was Maat, an immutable African organizing principle which is grounded in harmony and justice as equalizing forces for the maintenance of righteous moral and ethical civilizational existence. In the Kemetic tradition, speech was the basis of knowledge, as speech is necessary in thought and the creation and sharing of ideas. Speech here should be understood as both verbal and non-verbal, as whether written or spoken, speech is an aspect of creating and emitting any given idea. As Maat—which in its purest form is the ultimate form of truth, justice, reciprocity and balance—was the grounding principle of society, speech was as well-grounded in Maat and the most valued speech was determined by its proximity to Maat.

Speech itself was a form of information sharing and knowledge production. In antiquity, Africans used speech to communicate in the present moment with verbal speech and to speak to the future with written speech. Here, speech becomes a form of knowledge sharing that transcends space and time, as we can in this era read the speeches of the ancient past and apply them contemporarily.

According to Asa Hilliard, knowledge and wisdom were the highest aims of ancient society, and the educational process was a collective social process. Learning collectively was encouraged to support both the process of knowledge absorption and production as well as to create deep and lasting social bonds. Dr. Hilliard notes that symbols, analogies and rituals were used as tools for building knowledge. In addition, art and music were important educational tools as well. As African civilizations expanded and migrated west across the continent, they took with them these educational principles and continued to build great societies and kingdoms such as Ghana, Mali and Songhai.

Picture
When we migrated across the continent, particularly to the West, the ancient speeches became so engrained in culture that we used maxims as methods of communicating time-tested and ancient truths. The ancient maxim “Know Thyself” is used as a contemporary method for self-analysis and development. Likewise, the maxim “No one is born wise” is a direct implication of the significance of education in African society. The kingdom of Timbuktu was a thriving city and center of intellect in the Mali Empire. Timbuktu housed Sankoré, built in the 14th century and existed as one of the predominant universities during the apex of the Mali Empire.

When Africans were brought to the Americas and refused knowledge of their history and culture, education went underground and became prized. After the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863—and the subsequent process of criminalizing the system of chattel enslavement and legalizing Black Codes that placed the freedom of people of African descent at the discretion of the enforcers of the Codes—education wasn’t systematized, as people of African descent were just becoming accustomed to life away from their homeland. Literacy was privileged and private. During the period of Reconstruction, the Freedman’s Bureau actively worked to build schools for people of African descent. Many people of African descent moved up from the south, traveling along the Mississippi River and along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Education naturally existed as one of the solutions for the construction of life in America upon the dawn of the 20th century.

Similarly, the concept of training for industrial skills was long embedded in the minds of people of African descent. Booker T. Washington believed in the power of education, and he encouraged people of African descent to pursue training in the industrial world, as he believed that would support a successful method of social existence. Conversely, W.E.B. DuBois believed in the importance of deep intellectual study. As people of African descent followed both paths, the question of desegregating the education system became prominent during the middle of the 20th century, and it was answered when schools were desegregated in 1954. America journeyed into desegregation in the 1960s, and the decades following reveal both the amount of work achieved and simultaneously still needed, particularly in the realm of education.

Contemporarily, while some schools are desegregated, neighborhoods and social classes are often segregated. Subsequently, the distribution of resources are disproportionate and children of African descent often fail to receive an education that ensures their success.

Technology and more specifically social media play a large role in information sharing. According to Business Insider, social media is the number one Internet activity by Americans. So with our eyes fixated on phones, tablets and screens social media literally streams directly into our consciousness the thoughts, projections, images and ideas of human activity instantaneously. Perhaps as this thoroughfare of information acts as a continuous “stream” into our consciousness we have to consider social media as a significant form of information sharing, and information sharing as an informal system of education. As one of the primary forms of information sharing of our era, what is it that we are seeing and sharing and is it conducive to our self-development? We have access to the thoughts of people around the globe, right? We are being inundated with celebrity news sightings, the latest killings, the current status of the financial market, new film and album drops, and most important, celebrity beef. What does all of this do to our psyche? Does it help us focus on manifesting our goals?

Picture
One of the most significant rivers that humanity has known is the Nile River, which runs Up South from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile River is the longest river in the world. Coincidentally, some of the greatest contributions to the world developed during the periods when Africans kept rivers both literally and figuratively near. Abundant was the value for the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom teachings when we were near our rivers before the Maafa. We have known rivers, and certainly we’ve known ancient rivers. Has our proximity to rivers during different time periods and geographic locations affected our cultural existence? Has the value of the pursuit of education shifted as we’ve become distant from our ancient African rivers?

The recurrent referencing of Kemet here is as a result of the idea put forth by Cheikh Anta Diop:

For us, the return to Egypt in all domains is the necessary condition for reconciling African civilizations with history, in order to be able to construct a body of modern human sciences, in order to renovate African culture. Far from being a reveling in the past a look toward the Egypt of antiquity is the best way to conceive and build our cultural future. In reconceived and renewed African culture, Egypt will play the same role that Greco-Latin antiquity plays in Western culture.

It is through the ancient speeches that we have knowledge of the great past—a past in which society was established based upon the ethical principle of Maat that held all humans equally accountable in both speech and action.

White people only make movies of black history going back Hundreds of years, i.e. "slave movies", but they make their movies go back Thousands of years, even outlandishly stealing our history, i.e. "Exodus, Son of God, Noah" movies with plain white actors. Any true and objective historian would absolutely refute these absurd crimes of theft against of history, culture and identity. There seems to be a global coverup and conspiracy to rip away and cut off our heritage, masking our true identity as a specific nation of people; and even more detrimental, distracting and pacifying us from getting a much deserved answer to a simple question. "Who Are We Really?" "And From Whence Do We Originate?" To begin our quest we first must realize that our heritage goes much deeper than skin color. Not everyone that looks like our nation, belongs to our nation, NOT even the president. This the secret they know about us, but they choose to leave post-slavery disconnected "blacks" in confusion. In the same way European rich families pay very special attention to their bloodlines, we must apply much more attention to OUR bloodlines and the reason they severed us from the knowledge of our customs, beliefs, understanding, diet, etc. We is our history tampered and molested with all around the globe? The powers that rule the nations of this world know something about YOU that you forgot about YOURSELF.You "black americans" ARE NOT americans! You are a NATION! You ARE NOT africans! You are a NATION under rulership and persecution of the energy of your ancient oppressors. UNDERSTAND THIS! It is time to WAKE UP and become a NATION again. A PEOPLE! This babylon is falling. All kingdoms will CEASE outside of the Eternal Kingdom of our ancestors. This is the Truth about our plight and rise as a Devine NATION. "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." Thank you for this great platform for my sincere expression. I love my dear people. I love my Devine family. Our time of suffering at the hand of our ancestor's oppressors is at and end. - Dr. Ngosi Meneptah

Yet, one of the main complaints businesses cite about staying on top of their social media marketing efforts is the time involved to do so. They feel that someone has to be tied to the computer 24/7 to make the effort effective. Fortunately, with today's mobile applications and technology, social media marketing is being reborn as a mobile experience - a mobile social media marketing initiative, so to speak.
