Forgive me and permit me to deconstruct the term tragic-comedy in the Cheikh Anta Diop paradigm. In his paradigm of the Northern and Southern Cradle of civilization, Diop made it crystal clear the dramatic notion of tragedy was of Northern cradle mythology and ritual as expres, essed in the European dramatic tradition expressed in Greek Drama and Shakespearean drama, with the dominant themes of murder and lust for power, hubris or the tragic flaw of overweening pride originating in narcissism or self love. Diop made the distinct contrast between Northern Cradle civilization and the Southern Cradle of Kemetic or Nile Valley civilization in which there was not the tradition of tragedy but tragi-comedy, after all, the primordial Southern Cradle drama is the Osirian drama of Resurrection based on the Hapi or Nile river annual renewal and invigoration of crops and the concomitant culture and civilization throughout the 4,000 miles of said culture, i.e., from the delta to the Congo.
As Diop noted in his classic Cultural Unity of Africa, Nile Valley culture had no concept of tragedy since life and nature enjoyed an annual renewal and resurrection in harmony with the annual harvest provided by the inundation of the Hapi or Nile River.
Thus, Osiris or the Crucified Savior, prototype of the Jesus myth and ritual, was indeed crucified but resurrected and ascended in harmony with the annual rebirth of crops and vegetation along the 4000 miles of Kemetic or Nile Valley civilization. Thus the annual renewal was the paramount understanding of Kemetic or Nile Valley civilization that life was not tragic but enjoyed a rebirth annually as opposed to the notion of tragic eternal suffering and death in the European and Christian mythology. But, alas, no matter how the Europeans were steeped in their myth/ritual, the Southern Cradle mythology overwhelmed their mythological order, thus we must peruse The Sixteen Crucified Saviors by Kersey Graves to understand how global culture incorporated Southern Cradle mythology and ritual.
When I consider the entirety of Black history and civilization, I am horrified at our present condition after 400 years in the wilderness of North America. My feelings are similar to the Hausa Muslims enslaved by the Portuguese in Brazil. The Hausa Muslims from Nigeria were indignant that they were forced to suffer servitude under the ignorant, illiterate, uncultured Portuguese, after all, the Hausa spoke Hausa, Arabic, Portuguese, Yoruba and other languages while the Portuguese were totally illiterate and uncivilized, despite a thousand years of Moorish African culture and civilization in their area across the Straight of Gibraltar, named after the African general Tarik who conquered Spain in 711AD. Gibraltar is a combination of the Arabic Jibral (rock) and Tarik (the African general).
See African Glory by Chares DeGraff Johnson; the works of J.A., Rogers;Chancellor Williams;The Story of the Moors in Spain by Stanley Lane-Poole, The World and Africa by WEB DuBois, et al.
I have said all the above to consider our present condition in the wilderness of North America wherein the savages are not the indigenous, aboriginal people and the kidnapped Africans, but the European colonial savages delineated by J.A. Rogers in his classic Africa's Gift to America and Frazier's sociological classic Race and Culture Contacts in the Modern World. Frazier main conclusion is that it was not the guns of the European savages that perpetuated genocide but their diseases that eliminated the native populations by the millions. Alas, we are yet suffering the pervasive European diseases and mythological notions that are the direct cause of our mental and physical aberrations and toxicity.
Alas, the more we adhere to the fake narrative of white supremacy culture, the more we suffer the loss of our mental equilibrium or sink lower into the depths of the low information vibration mentality.
If we submit to a nano-second of white supremacy mythology and ritual, we are lost and turned out on the way to grandmother's house (Whispers song).
Dr. Nathan Hare, clinical psychologist, says, "Don't believe the hype:everything the white man says is fiction until proven to be fact." Let me add that the elders informed me that white supremacy is more than a system of domination, most importantly, it is a mental illness of the most severe degree based on the DSL classification of mental diseases as mild, moderate and severe. In short we are under the subjugation of motherfuckers who are totally psychotic, who have no mental foundation in reality, whether Democratic or Republican, Right Wing or Left Wing, Capitalist or Communist/Socialist. If and when you drink any of this Kool Aid, from any of these motherfuckas and their black sycophants you are soon addicted to the Fentanyl of white supremacy and death is certain!
So here we are, down here on the ground, seeking a straight path out of the matrix of Pax Americana
and its plethora of maladies so pervasive, problematic and profound that one must indeed be a rocket scientist, no, more especially, Superman and Superwoman to extricate ourselves from this conundrum!
