Our Story
EVERY STORY ABOUT AFRICA IS NOT A BAD NEWS STORY. BAD NEWS STORIES ARE SOMETIMES CIRCULATED TO CREATE HOPELESSNESS, DISPAIR, RESIGNATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF A NEGATIVE CONDITION THAT ONE MAY BE IN AT A GIVEN MOMENT IN HISTORY. UNFORTUNATELY, SOME OF THE GREATEST PURVEYORS OF BAD NEWS STORIES ABOUT AFRICA ARE SELF-HATING AFRICANS WHO LACK CONFIDENCE IN THEMSELVES, AND WHO BELIEVE THAT THE COLONIZER’S AND SLAVEMASTER’S “ICE IS COLDER”.
Having consciousness means the state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings, the awareness or perception of something by a person, the fact of awareness by the mind of itself and the world. African consciousness must be resuscitated, revived, restored, rejuvenated and regenerated.
The African Diaspora Channel has been establish to reaffirm that Africa belongs to the Africans, and so we say in the ennobling words of Marcus Garvey, “AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS...AT HOME AND ABROAD!
Somebody once asked Marcus Garvey, who was born in Jamaica, if he was an African or a Jamaican. Garvey responded, "I will not give up a continent for an island." We love Marcus Garvey and men and women like Marcus Garvey because they are able to see the big picture. What about you? Are you able to see the big picture? Or are you locked in a small room and limited by tunnel vision? . Many Africans whether they are the involuntary diaspora Africans (i.e. descendants of African slaves), the voluntary diaspora Africans (the new economic immigrants) or the continental Africans (those who have never left the African continent), all suffer from a lack of knowledge and misinformation about the African continent. The African Diaspora Channel has been established to remedy that problem to the best of our ability. We hope the knowledge and information provided on this channel will encourage people of African descendant whether at home or abroad to love and embrace the African continent as their natural homeland and to recognize the African continent as a place more suitable than any other place for them to reach their fullest potential, not in an idealistic way, but in a very practical and real way. In regards to the African continent, we would like to encourage the Africans who are part of the involuntary diaspora group, to whole heartedly claim and collect their inheritance and birthright. In the case of the voluntary diaspora group, we encourage them not forget their place of origin, but rather, they too should hold on to their cultural inheritance and natural birthright. In the case of both groups, whether their diaspora was involuntary or voluntary, neither one should never be willing to exchange their inheritance and birthright for the mere right to exist in countries and continents where they will always be tenants on the land rather than be owners of the land. Finally, we here at The African Diaspora Channel reiterate, Oh Africans of every tribe and persuasion do not give up your continent which slave merchants and colonizers plundered and pillaged for hundreds of years so that they could enrich and develop their western and Arab homelands, all at the expense and destruction of the owners of the African land. Do not continue to suffer mistreatment and ill will while languishing in countries where you are not wanted or being barely tolerated - all in the name of economic progress.
