  Interview with an Afrikan!

  Interview with an Afrikan

   

  A lot of times children in studying History in schools don't realize that Black History can be learned right in their family surroundings. Yes African and Black History can be learned right at home, with Mom and Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, Older Uncles and Aunts. For this project the Black Child will learn the following:

   

  • As the subject of research,you,  the parent(s), or older relatives, must submit to an interview and study by your children. By following this formula the child will learn various things about their background as well.
  • This formula will also teach the Black Child articulation of various words and concepts that you learned as a child and growing up this will help the child's control of language.
  • The Black Child will also be able to place their parent in an historical context and learn respect of the parent's struggles and issues. This should help in respect for the parents as well, a much needed iea in our families.

  The Black Child will learn:

  Genealogy

  • Research methodology 
  • Interviewing skills.

  
  
  
  Sit down with your child and explain the formula briefly, give this process no more than five minutes as we want the Black Child to learn on their own. Our children are very capable of doing this. The Black Child will then take the information with  regard to dates in your life and find a Black History Fact to match that time period. The Black Child will also take the geographical location of your birth and upbringing and find out using the library and internet what was the condition of Blacks in that area.

   

  Copy this format for the interview with your children:

   

   

   

  
  
  
  
  Primary Research-Interview with an Afrikan.

   

   

   

   

  Who are you (name)?

  ___________________________________________________________

   

  What is the meaning and origin of your name?

   

  ___________________________________________________________

            

  What were your parent's names?  Dates of Birth?

  ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

   

   

  What was going on with Black People during your year of birth and every 10 years afterwards?

   

  ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

   

   

  When were you born (important things that took place in the world that year)?

   

  ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

   

  Where were you born? How were Black People living in this area?

  ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

   

  Why were you born in this area? Did your mom and dad move from there and, Did you move, if so why and where?

   

  ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

   

   

   

   

  
  This entire process should produce anywhere from a two to five page, report and study on the parents' life, and history. In the end the goal is to bring the reality of Black History close to home. The child may and probably will ask additional questions, encourage this. Please elaborate on what you know of your past, even the painful memories. You will find that you and your child may become closer by this process. At the end of the process please make an analysis of what it is the child has learned and what you may have learned about your self as well! Sit down with your child and discuss the results.
   
  Please e-mail us at:

  With your results or questions regarding the process, if you wish we can post the results or that which you wish on this blog page.

  The Afrikan GOD/DESS

   

   

   http://afrikanfamilyressurection.ning.com/ (How To Love The Afrikan Goddess!)

  In the Term (GOD/DESS) I have placed an intentional break as to represent the complementary nature of God and Goddess. For many the Goddess concept will be difficult to grasp, this is the result of our being for so long indoctrinated/taught the idea that the creator is only male. Now surely we can hear in the church, mosque and temple on any given Sunday that we must respect our women. This idea is wonderful; unfortunately it has not been enough to simply say it. Part of this or rather a major part of this is due to the lessons we give our children on the idea, belief and concept of God. Now I have heard brothers, men in general refer to woman as goddess; this is used when the brothers are trying to compliment the woman's physical beauty. Most of that is in order that the brother might spend the night with her! Now being married to a Goddess myself I am fully aware that her physical beauty exists, but what of her divine self?

  The divinity of the Afrikan woman has been placed in a worldview that is not the original view Africans had and some still have of her. We are currently living in a foreign idea of her divinity and who she is. Currently most western religions, or rather all of them have her in a low position in spirituality, she is thought of as secondary even an afterthought. It is as if one side of our brain was disregarded as not necessary, could we truly function as a whole human being? Victims of stroke may have one side of their body inoperative, now certainly they can continue to do most things but really they are not as they used to be! This is the same condition of Afrikan men and our people worldwide, we are operating with only a part of ourselves, the part of us which is male and we are not operating correctly.

   

  I contribute that a major part of our current state of existence is retarded per result of not recognizing our women as the GODDESS. Understand that this GODDESS idea is not simply complimentary, or some play to praise women because just as our women are not operating as GODDESSES, neither is our men behaving like GODS. I am saying that the very nature of the Afrikan woman is that of the GODDESS! This very statement contradicts most of what we believe about ourselves, and what we see of ourselves nevertheless it is a truth. It is my observation that the Afrikan family is not whole because the male portion neither recognizes his own GOD/self nor the GODDESS/self of the female portion. Until this is done our families will stay in the conditions we currently exist in.  In another essay entitled, "Holy Family: The Afrikan Holy Trinity" I wrote,

   

  "A God-Head that does not include female energy is not only exclusive and misogynistic but also does great disservice to the family concept. How can children be properly reared in an environment that is either anti-woman, or belittles woman or places her as secondary and even an afterthought?"

   

  How then do we find her, the great her that is the GODDESS? Where will we find her? Why has she been downplayed, why has she been forgotten by us, and what would be the impact if she were remembered?
