AFRICAN AMERICAS' AGGREGATES
Disaggregation is the opposite of aggregation.
Aggregation is gathering. Disaggregation is scattering.
In that most African Americas' efforts to aggregate to liberate in the Americas are deemed to be threateningly hostile, historically, by our expropriators, our Americas' enslavers, and have been crushed, except for 1791-1804, in Haiti, we are left with the much less desirable--though no less achievable--disaggregation options to pursue in our firm unrequited quest for African Americas' restitution and freedom.
“Disaggregation” is that singular, but indivisible, effort which is jointly invisible, indiscernible as such. It is our individually performed, personally realized self-ambitions, our self-goals, our duties to ourselves, first. Then, that seeming group “disaggregation”, while ostensibly achieving our own unique personal victories, is that which "magically" attains unto broader African Americas' victories. However, it must yet be accompanied by the prudent austerity of avoiding self-congratulatory braggadocias: as caveats for effectively restoring African Americas' solidarity, liberty.
In effect, our ‘disaggregation’ is disssembling. Thus, ‘aggregation’ is reassembling while still dissembling (hiding) individual efforts in service, in production, in unity, in the African Americas.
But wait! Are we not now, in 2019, disaggregating and reaggregating ? Yes. And have we not been doing so since 1619, in the United States of America, at least? Yes! We have been doing so, autonomously, even if their integrally linked disassembly-reassembly processes of life and death, less by more, were unrecognized, hence, also unnamed.
Without a name we did not know them, philosophically, ontologically, even if we may have intuitively grasped them.
"Scattered and peeled" we knew we were; we know that we are; but does disaggregation lead to aggregation? "In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion." Isaiah 18:7. We have observed recurrently this "disaggregation-reaggregation" phenomenon in nature, in the heavens among the stars, but yet unperceived, if conceived, was the same natural African Americas' pertinence to ourselves. The pendulum always returns to its balance point. Nature returns to its source.
New International Version
"Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name." Gen. 2:19.
Now at least we have a name for our historic dissembling, for our secret aggregations of knowledge, power, wealth, resources, faith, hope, love.
“Aggregation by Disaggregation.” Our, also natural and divine, seeming inversion of expected outcomes is like the reassembling toys purchased at Christmas; like sewing holy garments by God-given patterns .
Amen 🙏
