thinking into the new black self

written by Maleke Montshiwagae Mahlomaholo

if one is not prepared to be caught up in contradictions in some future time period ... then one is certainly not prepared to imagine a new way of thinking and therefore re-imagination of a new future.. .. particularly in the black sphere ....

the expression ''i think therefore I am'' by René Descartes, expresses in a deeper fashion, a real time continuum connection between a process and self. it expresses the reality that a new way of thinking rejuvenates a new self because at any given moment when we alter our thinking, we alter the self to a new level... therefore, to become a new self, a new way of thinking is inherently a prerequisite.....

so, we cannot as the black underclass fighting for acquisition of human value status, which is a contradiction between the necessity of blackness and its existence and whiteness/ anti-black-world be caught up in such issues as that of democratic centralism of the Gwedes clouding the minds of the 1912 bloc and whose dialectics are far from speaking the language of the black people.
that would imply that we are not ready for a new black self . .

we are either both consciously often through pre-conscious declarations and unconsciously, both of which are dangerous and a negativity towards black human value status acquisition, avoiding the contradiction or there is an unidentified basic question which is unlikely!

Fanon last night before i slept ''told'' me that: ''the singularity of colonialism is that it is unable to avoid the humanity element/dimension in that, the type of species or race determines the wealth status within it''

so from that whispering voice of Fanon I gathered, that for us the black underclass to become the new black self by acquiring the human value status in the distribution of human values, we must forge new ways of thinking because in accordance with ''I think therefore I am'' that contains the human factor ''I am'', we will have defined a ''new'' us in a supposedly ''post-apartheid moment''. we must involve ourselves in the human contradiction element that reveals the singularity of colonialism in order to resolve it into our black favor.... and in this way, we could alter the determination of wealth [our dispossessed land] towards us.... really?

therefore I say: ''the new thoughts the new us''....

''I think therefore I am''
