Imagine a world that could transcend nationalism and embrace cultural competency. Imagine a people so grounded in love that we didn’t need nationalism as the anchor for our identity. People of the African diaspora ☥ Indigenous People have been torn apart through colonization and then socialized to embrace nationalism - not for the holistic celebration of one’s nation, but for the purposes of separating ourselves from/competing with each other. It is quite possible that our ancestral families were torn apart and sent to different countries to facilitate the process of psychologically breaking us in order to enslave/oppress us.

​

There is something wrong when nationalism prevents us from wanting to☥ getting to know each other, causes us to see ourselves as superior and fosters a constant environment of competition. Are we sacrificing our humanity for the sake of nationalism? We can have both, but a self-correction is needed that allows us to anchor our identity in the truest part of ourselves so that we do not ever sacrifice our humanity for nationalism. Would increasing our level of understanding about each other take anything away from our ‘nationality?’ Let’s begin the process of self-correction by taking the time to see ourselves ☥ each other.
