Many years ago, there was a Westernized African entertainment group that visited Japan to deliver an on stage show to a sold-out audience. The group considered that their erotic gyrations and other lewd sex acts; backed-up by the appropriate music, would go over big without difficulty or opposition.

When the security forces realized that the entertainers were promoting indecent and immoral acts in public - a violation to the normally accepted culture of Japanese Dignity - the Security personnel immediately moved to halt the show and escort the performers directly to the Airport and back to the "Land of the Free" (America) on the next flight out.

Africa is being influenced by ‘some’ very thoughtless members in the entertainment world who think only of their selfish interests in the world of entertainment and not necessarily in the future of an Africa having the obligation to build a “United States of Africa in a Democracy” that is concerned with the Intellect, Health, Education, Commerce, Legitimate Business Enterprises, and Agriculture; free of corruption and is emancipated from the pitfalls of an Enslaved Past.

Africa must protect itself from the blind influences of senseless Westernized Africans, many of whom have little empathy for the sufferings of the Continental African; the same kinds of suffering that caused the kidnapping and abuse that compounded for over 400 years. The so-called emancipated survivors of the continuous ongoing evils of the past remain mentally enslaved, short sighted and doomed to repeat the past, when (even now) major organizations and powers have reinstituted measures that are now being implemented for the re-colonization of Africa - a program that has been designed by the "World Bank Group" under its recently retired President, Mr. Robert Zoellick.

The enemy sells the 'dancing shoes' and keeps the dancers dancing and like shifting sands, continues to compromise and alter the very foundations that support and uphold the dancer. When the dance is done, the dancer has institutionalized nothing beyond the fleeting, smoking residue of his dance, awaiting the next performance; - the next 'sweat-session' - the next grin, giggle and laughter but nothing that is saved or produced in a box to be used towards lessening poverty or advancing objective  education and principled enlightenment.

There are certain food dyes outlawed in the U.S.A. by the Food and Drug Administration which are sold freely in Africa. The control of nicotine in cigarettes is controlled in the U.S.A. but its negative dangers have no regulations in Africa. There are deep graves prepared for the burial of Nuclear waste material in the U.S.A.; but there are shipments of the radioactive waste material to Africa with practically no regulation for the long term safety of the people in the immediate proximity of the grave sites in Africa. The dangerous effects from radiation poisoning has a life span of thousands of years and yet our entertainers travel abroad freely perpetuating and promoting lifestyles that are "like-wise counterparts" of the same destructive and poisonous dimensions without considering the extension of harmful values being sewn deep into the virgin psyche of the African youth who may think that all things coming from America are worthy of emulating.

Their entertainment contributions are not necessarily geared to enhance the better potentials, ethics or talents for a brighter and unique future in the African Nations. It all amounts to non-sense. Chris Brown could not perform publically smoking marijuana on a stage at the Felt Forum of Madison Square Garden in New York City without an immediate arrest in hand cuffs and condemned in the industry; neither could he survive in the Nation of Turkey. But in Ghana???

What is left in the wake of their visits --is an influence from the shores of the western world;--a camouflaged, subliminal influence of a corrupt and immoral culture that celebrates drugs, guns and eroticism as the way to be.

My burning question is: what is the truest stature, eminence and zenith of the African way? Even though I was born in The U.S.A., my African spiritual roots still vibrate in the depths of my being -- and in this day and time,  I need to know that the reasons that existed and allowed  the sale and abandonment of Africans from our native roots are no longer in existence. I need to know that the mistakes and weaknesses of the past are being objectively corrected  so that my great grandchildren are no longer vulnerable to the wicked, dark journeys of the past; --and that they can freely visit their Motherland with earned dual-citizenship credentials as free spirited venturous entrepreneurs seeking to discover an unclaimed greatness awaiting them in a land of light and love -- among African sons and daughters separated far too long by the principalities in a world of spiritual evils.

Hopefully the “Chris Brown’” of our Westernized African culture will reassess their responsibility and accountability to our actual History and return to Ghana/Africa apologetically ---in humility, ---as repented ambassadors of good will.
