Black Studies and Black Consciousness by Dr. Maulana Karenga


Dear friends,

This is a really powerful five minutes long video!

The reason: Consciousness is an ever evolving state of well-being for every human, beginning at birth.

In other words, because human beings are the only species on this planet who are aware of the fact that we exist (hence, burials), our consciousness makes us aware of the problems of living. Other than non-human animals like dogs who have been "domesticated" by humans, almost all other creatures have no such concern for problems. Father, their behavior is totally based upon instinct.

At any rate, as humans, we, at least, claim to renounce most of our instincts, so that we can join together as groups in a cooperative effort to coexist. Unfortunately.it is there that we find our biggest problem. That is,  our relationships become political, because we each want what we want. However, as members of an aforementioned group, there are often compromises made for what one wants and desires, since many people want the same thing, but resources are limited. 


Finally, human beings are, ultimately, like all other animals. So we have not actually renounced our instincts such as the one that has us being violent. Moreover, because we can talk, thus sharing ideas, especially for those who have superior military night install themselves as rulers. Those same people start using others as a means to an end, becoming self-centered and egotistical in the process. As a result, those who choose to find self-worth at the expense of others make sure that the consciousnesses of their victims evolve as little as possible.

Liberation!
