"It should go without saying that warriors should not consciously deceive other Afrikan people of good character and intent. How can people who call themselves revolutionaries be successful in their work if they make a practice of deceiving themselves, each other and those for whom they say they would lay down their lives? Regardless of the level of deceit religiously practiced among the creators of and adherents to the aberrant reality many of us choose to remain hostage to, that way of thinking, speaking and doing is unAfrikan. It works to intensify our fragmentation....Lying to others within the community is bad enough. But lying to oneself about oneself is about the most damning thing that a person can do. This is delusional. Still, lying to those one is sworn to protect and whose shoulders brace yours on the frontline is tantamount to treason. And, if you will deceive yourself, you will deceive them. Know that not speaking truth, i.e., being silent and/or letting lies circulate unchecked, is still lying." Mwalimu K. Bomani Baruti Centered: Building Afrikan Realities
