THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF
AFRICA (SADA) INC.
2509 22ND STREET
NE, WASHINGTON, DC20018
1. All African people suffer from a lack of self-knowledge about
our own identity. We
do not know and do not want to know who we are, where we came
from and where we are going. We are the captive and captured
consumers of this world. We
have been conditioned by the laws of the colonizers; Europeans
and Arabs to accept the falsification that we are nothing. We
want to insist on our rights as captives. We have spent 400
years trying to be Europeans and Arabs both in continental
Africa and Diaspora Africa. Nothing will make us think we are
being fooled into believing that we not what they have made us.
Even animals when captured and released rush to the bush where
they came from. Africans in America have been "freed' for 400
years and they have no interest in Africa where everybody knows
they came from why? Is it because of William Lynch? We,
Queens and Kings, who built the Golden Stool, the pyramids and
who brought history, medicine, astrology, mathematics, sciences,
religion and other subjects into this world are looked upon by
Europeans and Arabs whose ancestors were in caves when we flew
into the moon, as nothing . Bring any Eurocentric and
Arabcentric attitudes, behaviors, customs, religion and concepts
into any discussion with any African and you are bound to
encounter acrimonious vituperations about our African history to
the detriment of a clear understanding of the motivations and
desires of the African people
2 Since 1962 when SADA first became conscious of
his Africanity we have observed that both the continental
Africans and the Diaspora Africans have displayed fear,
unconcerned and disinterestedness in the total emancipation of
the Africans and we look up to the governmental actions to free
us even now and to give us civil rights. Eminent men and women
have spent a whole generation only for civil rights. "Loi
civille" is for civil society and no human being can legislate
civil rights except to enable the victims to go to court for
redress but not to right the problems emanating from the
violations of the right of man to live in a free society .
Whenever there is a problem in any part of the world involving
the African descendants, all of us look up to the "white man";
the Euro Arabs for solution because, since slavery days Africans
have been banned from organizing themselves into a united front
to solving our social problems. We
talk, criticize and pray to Euro Arab God but not a dime goes to
the aid of the suffering masses from individual African or group
of Africans. Euro
Arabs raise money to solve our problems. This
is a shame and we want to make it clear that the selfish
attitude and lack of interest in our people should cease and we
should begin to be our sisters and brothers keepers and be
responsible to our race through organized Sons and Daughters of
Africa.
3. We, the Africans have
been schemed, reduced and made us accept our status as Europeans
and Arabs; our names and culture are all Euro Arab names. We do
not want to work for a change in our status. We
do not want to organize ourselves to solve the so called racism
which is a result of Africans not doing anything to uplift
themselves as human beings but remain fragmented and uselessly
disconnected. We are
our own making. We even refuse to practice the seven principles
of “KWANZA” which lays some principles for our unity.
4. We the Africans,
acknowledge that the status that the Euro Arabs have reduced the
Sons and Daughters into as children incapable of organizing
ourselves and behaving like mentally sick children, is not going
to change easily. We
also acknowledge that since most of us are Euro Arabs, the few
of us who acknowledge that we have been damaged mentally and
spiritually, to a point where our mental faculties do not and
would not reflect us as Africans but as Europeans and Arabs must
work to revive our basic human interests and powers in our
ourselves, our children and our posterity through the study and
restoration of our HISTORY and CULTURE to help the world
understand us as a people.
5. We the Sons and
Daughter of Africa acknowledge that the transatlantic slave
trade, the chattel slave trade, by EUROPEANS AND ARABS, the Euro
Arabs, the greatest
human holocaust which resulted in the forcible and illegal
removal of over 100 million Africans from their tropical
continent of Africa and placed us in Caribbean and American
plantations in USA and South America, was a crime against
humanity and must be forgiven the Europeans and Arabs by the
Africans but never to forget but must be remembered,
memorialized, and celebrated every year by the Sons And
Daughters of Africa and Friends of Africa who are sympathetic
with the plight of Africans on the May 25, of each and every
year until eternity.
Programmed Requests:
5. To support the
African Union to form the United States of Africa so that the
self pity that came with slavery, chattel slavery, colonialism,
neo colonialism, apartheid, benign neglect and the myriad
negative insinuations that emanate from all the negatives heaped
on Africans by non Africans can be properly addressed by the
United States of Africa since the United States of Africa using
all the resources; human and materials in African can reach the
nucleus of the plight of Africans and will have the means to
address the total freedom of the Africans both at home and
abroad
6. Urge the descendants of Africa in the Diaspora, the Diaspora
Africans to face our realities and our plight in which all
Africans find themselves, so that they can begin to see clearly
that the future of Africa is theirs also and that they should
not sit on the fence with wait and see attitude, while Africa
suffers from lack of international support. That the Diaspora
Africans have the means, the education, the money and the know
how to organize themselves if and only if they can stop the self
aggrandizement; one of the mental diseases that afflict and has
affected all Africans.
7. Urge each participating country to enact laws
that will discourage and eliminate disparities in racial
profiling; especially the states in the United States of America
and to set up a secretariat to monitor racial discrimination
among member countries; especially discriminations against the
descendants of Africa since we are the prime target of all the
discriminations in the world. by People of African descent in
the criminal justice system.
8. Urge each participating country to set up mechanism for
monitoring incarcerated African descendants since we are the
targets of laws that prohibit marijuana and other offenses that
are not offenses against persons or individuals but rather are
design to put an end to negative behaviors and the importers,
smugglers and pushers of drugs are not Africans because Africans
in America do not own planes and ships to bring the drugs. Urge
such countries like the United States of America to reduce
sentencing guidelines for those African Americans who offend
drug laws of the USA since they have no means of importing such
drugs.
