Drusilla:

"All people systems" simply refers to systems that involve the control of people.

Educational institutions is a people system
Philosophy is a  people system
Religion is a people system

Example of non-people systems:

birds flying south for the winter
Bears hibernating in the winter
bees pollanating flowers

Drusilla,

But don't these 'systems' cross over?

How are Native American cultures "people systems" when they depend upon nature, i.e. "non-people systems" for much of their knowledge and reasoning?

Are you saying nature is "non-human"?

Are you saying humans are not part of nature?

Drusilla:

"human history is nothing more than an enveloping of success-failure processes of decision-choice activities in all dimensions of human endeavor."

Quite simply:

History is decided by people. Enveloped or fixed the way they like it, in regards to all of the decisions they have made in all people systems.

Drusilla,

Excuse me but I laughed out loud when I read your reply.

What exactly is an "all people system"?

Could you contrast it with a "not all people system"?

drusilla:

Right now Dompere an Nigerian scholar,  is bringing to the table the most comprehensive over all view of how Afrocentrism should continue to be built between Africa and the Diaspora.

Drusilla,

Here is Edward Kissi on Dompere:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A number of contributors said that Dr. K. K. Dompere's submission (No. 160) lacks comprehension. Here is one remark from Edward Kissi
[All submission will be archived: http://www.utexas.edu/conferences/africa/ads/155.html]

Kofi Kissi Dompere's posting is an example of what is wrong with some of Africa's intellectuals. I would have liked to see Dr. Kissi-Dompere explain, in very simple terms, to the non-economists on the net what he means by "scientific and logical understanding of Africa's difficulties."  I would have benefited from some specific examples from him about what constitutes a "scientific" and "logical"  understanding of a problem? Rather, in a very complex and convoluted sentence construction, he refers his readers  to his book so that they can "understand the nature of the problem and the philosophical implications of development locked in theoretical structures."  What does this long phrase mean? What is the good Dr  trying to communicate that he cannot express in a simple and straightforward manner?. Some say you can imagine the contents of a book by its cover. If  I could not understand the thrust of  the brief posting he sent, because of the rigid prose in which it was cast, why  would I care to read his book?

My "name-sake",  I am a historian and can you please explain to me what you mean by this:

"human history is nothing more than an enveloping of success-failure processes of decision-choice activities in all dimensions of human endeavor."

Can you make it simpler? When I get on the net on everyday, I pray that I would  learn something. I do not have to agree with the views expressed,  but if I can understand what has been written  and follow the author's argument, I can learn a lot. And I have learnt a lot  from many of the postings I have read. I have tried very hard to understand yours, but I have not been able to understand it. Please can you make your ideas and writing accessible, at the very least, to the hundreds of your fellow scholars on the net.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please explain to us if you will what Dompere is talking about in the text I have highlighted in bold.

Drusilla:

Continental Africans come to America, with great hope and love and then are treated like slobs by AA and it hurts them but being that they are just Nigga's who speak a different language, they began to do as any Nigga in the Ghetto would: they begin to front. To play it off. To represent.

I do not know how to make it more clear to you that Nigerians are just Nigga's.

In fact recent studies have shown immigrants particularily African and Hispanic immigrants get sicker and have more mental illness than African Americans.

Oh Drusilla you are transparent.

You acknowledge the misery that will be inflicted upon African people when they come to America.

But you DO NOT discourage them from coming.

Instead, you talk disparagingly about their honourable response to your nations sickness.

And then you talk condescendingly about helping them.

What kind of person tries to bring suffering upon their own family?

It is a person whose heart and mind are spiritually diseased.

One thing is abundantly clear.

African people SHOULD NOT emigrate to America.

Sista:

[b]@Delf747[/b]You won't convince me of anything except for the fact that you are not for black unification because black unification does not include white people and for white people,

If black unification will shut you up Sista I'm all for it.

Sista:

[b]@Delf747[/b]What was your point in giving me that link?

Just showing that nature grows beyond politics. Children learning music have no hidden agenda,  just like a butterfly learning to fly is only spreading its wings.

Sista:

[b]@Delf747[/b]Your only aim is to show how great white people are because of course you are white right? Notice how you talk badly about Americans when you are putting me down but notice then to how you support your fellow white brothers and sisters in America by giving me this link.

How twisted can you get? You don't know my race that's one of the wonders of the internet. Puts it all in to perspective eh? Just minds debating with eachother. Amazing how our true natures are hidden from each other in everyday life isn't it? That's why we need a god force to balance things out.

There's no way those children would be on the internet if they weren't American. You see its all part of the same problem. America has to make a big deal out of race. White kids pretending to be black. Black kids pretending to be white, etc, etc,  America has to continually promote these contradictory and  phony ideals because neither white or black people belong there. I guess nature will sort it all out in the end.

Sista:

@Delf747
You do know that Aids was created in a lab by white people don't you?

 

Aids is the human form of SIV as far as I know. In fact the last documentary I saw suggested it doesn't even exist. It is a contrived disease used by drug companies to make billions of dollars. I'm no expert on it though.

Sista:

[b]@Delf747[/b]See how you keep callling me American, you see? Divide and rule is what you contribute to.

Come on now. Are you telling me the stars and stripes flying in the wind symbolises Africa?

America is the most nationalistic nation on earth. Check out this advertisement for the U.S. Army. Either you or Drusilla mentioned that over a third of the U.S. military is AA. Well it's right here in this advert.

I posted prematurely by mistake.

How did you reply so quickly?

Have you got some kind of alarm set?

Please wait for my full reply.

.

Sista:

[b]@Delf747[/b]Delf, for those who don't know, You and I already had our past beef. I thought you and I were through.

There's no hatchet to bury Sista.

Your posts were becoming very long (not to mention immature) and I didn't have time to do them justice with a reply.

So I did the adult thing and bailed.

Sista:

[b]@Delf747[/b]All you know is my words in nairaland. What would I have to be responsible for in nairaland?

So you admit your not being responsible here?

It's all a game for you eh?

In my experience this is how Americans tend to treat the rest of the world. They come it with righteousness about some issue but they are only using this to show how above everyone else they are.

This is why all Americans say America is a 'great' country,  even when its roots are totally rotten.

When people don't buy it you see their true colours - they don't give a sh*t really - their pretence at caring was only to massage their own egos.

You try to lord it over Nigerians and others here because you can't possibly imagine that they know more about the world than you.

When Nigeria is a nuclear power who will you lecture then?

(PS: I take it all back. Here's some evil white children hating on African culture:

Sista:

@Donzman
First of all,  I am not a child, so what people think about me does not affect me.

Spoilt children do not care about what others think.

Adults should care as they are meant to be responsible.

Sista:

@Donzman
PS, I challenge everyone to stop talking about Sista. I dare you.

Again you sound like a child.

Nobody is talking about you.

But this is what you like to imagine because you come here for attention.

A child must learn to shut its mouth when in the presence of adults.
