Dr. Na'im Akbar — On Afrikan Marriage to White
So what we are doing,you see it would be more like it if we in fact were in fact able to chose freely' what ever human being we wanted to marry', and i consider that to be a legitimate possibility and aspiration and in civilized societies I believe you can do that.'
But in a society like this,there is so much 'loaded' meaning' in the racial designations that no African America can chose a Euro America without choosing the race primarily.' I don't care what nobody says about 'love' and all that other garbage' that's crap!
You are choosing the image first because that's all that you gotten in this society.' 'You' don't know nothing about white people.' How you know? All you know is the 'image' You can't even,the realities that separate the races in this country are so rigorously defined,That it would take you a life time to penetrate just the social distinction to get to the real person' you all interact on the bases of your 'categories.'
Cause that's what America has done for us.' So the problem is this, My concern you see the problem is we already got real mixed up,physically,biologically,genetically.'
in fact there's hard to find anything that even look's to much like a pure breed African any more among African Americans.' I mean just look around', And that the rapes that went on for the last 400 years are well demonstrated.'
We are all ,it doesn't take but a couple of steps in any of our family trees and we'll find the slave masters,the slave breeders the foreman and all the rest of them. So the biological mixing has been going on a long 'time.' But that's not my problem.'
The problem that i have is the fact that we run the risk,of losing the integrity' of a cultural' identity' that can save 'humanity.' We have the cultural elements' We have the personal historical human sensitivity and experiences,which can serve as a vehicle for bringing Americans back,bringing the World' back to a human consciousness' and that's what i'm afraid we're going to lose.
so the completion is not nearly a problem' now interns of the local political situation. clearly as i said a minute ago, that represents what i refer to as an alien self- disorder.
' When one chooses,someone other than oneself,in a society where the choice has already been defined,IS NOT YOU' as opposed to your momma,as opposed to your sister,as opposed to anything that represents the best possibilities for yourself.'When you consciously choose that,that's a choice of self rejection' and i see that as being as,I've written an article about it,I call that a mental disorder among African Americans.That's a mental problem.' That's a very serious mental problem.'
