YOUR STRENGTH LIES IN YOUR AFRICAN CONSCIOUSNESS & VALUES! Consciousness is an INSTRUMENT OF POWER thats not just about knowing your African history or knowing yourself. Thinking, reasoning, information processing, etc., and the values that are a part of consciousness, are the means by which individuals adapt to the world and adapt the world to them. Consciousness can also be socialized, so because Africans have been under European domination, weve been inculcated with a Eurocentrically generated consciousness. Since its an instrument of power, it means that Europeans have power over us through the consciousness that they have created in us. We can only escape from European power by developing an AFRICAN-CENTERED CONSCIOUSNESS, based on AFRICAN-CENTERED VALUES. Since consciousness and values guide behavior if that consciousness and those values are your own, people with another consciousness and values cannot control you. Europeans recognize that their whole social order is built upon the consciousness and values that theyve inculcated into African people. This means that if Africans begin to follow the lead of African-centered consciousness and values, the social order that is built upon us having a Eurocentric consciousness will collapse and fall apart. THATS WHY AFRICAN-CENTERED CONSCIOUSNESS & VALUES FRIGHTENS THEM TO DEATH! “ Dr. Amos Wilson
