Marimba Ani goes into great lengths to describe the basic African centered Asili of collective love or the communal recirpocity of African traditonal life asDr Clarke describes it.
The focus there has always been on the common good and collective upliftemt, and manifest as an innate sense of spirtuality, expressed as a empathic altruism
However the colonialistic and imperialistic asili has a great seductive power
negativity and avarice, and the glorification of materialism and materialistic gain at the expens of another.
The epitome of this has been fascism and an attck and dengration of anything that the asili cannot understand.
During colonization all indegeous cutures faiths and religious practies were attacked and desimated , and then wrote about as though the attacker had some real understanding of that which they denegrated
The focus of the asili is indicative of a focus on negaivity in every form and rarely if ever, is there a desire for conscious raising, or desire for collective effort, and the common good
the term do eat dog expemplifies this asili,
and it is what the CIA has used to take the "SOUL" out of Black music and encourage the youth to musical expressions of fratricide, self hate dengration of women and th destruction of the comunity
Thus the modalities as Carter G Woodson had mentioned of self slavery and mental captivity had been achieved
until a return to the African centered Asili, is restored in order for psychic and mental healing to take place
The African Asili is Love oriented as where the Imperialistic asili is based on discord and divisiveness
