Society has developed in a way that has driven a lot of us into an individualistic mindset. One that tends to allow personal interests to take precedence over all else.
As an African, I’m familiar with the concept of collectivism which a lot of us have grown up with. A way of life that teaches us that we are descendants of our ancestors, meaning ‘we are, because they were’ – ubuntu.
A philosophy that embraces the idea that our identity, our consciousness, and our morality are shaped by the connections we share with those around us. So naturally, we value the concept of family and community, and understand that the individual is tethered to a people – a place of belonging.
These principles help us seek humility and reserve during moments of conflict or potential embarrassment.
So, in this discussion Sean is back to help me explore the public feats of three prominent figures who have left a polarising sentiment within pop-culture and the black culture in some instances. We talk about Candace Owens, Kyrie Irving, and Kanye West and critically look at what happened over a year in respect to each.
