The Kemetic, Black, African World has seen the global carnage that our tribalism, mysticism and primitivism has caused us to suffer for thousands of years. Yet, we refuse to confront and cure ourselves of these deadly diseases. SO, THE BLAME IS OURS.

Tribalism: Silent Killer of African World Unity
Tribalism is a social disorder that afflicts the social orientation of a people, and causes them to become divided against themselves, thereby severely effecting their ability to maintain unity among themselves for the preservation and protection of their own common interests and survival. Thus, Tribalism is a state wherein a nation of people becomes fragmented in their thinking and loses their sense of oneness, thereby causing them to develop deeper attachments and loyalties to the individual interests of separate groups within their nation over the common interests of their nation as a whole.
Mysticism: Silent Killer of The African Spirit
Mysticism is a spiritual disorder that afflicts the spiritual orientation of a person or people, and causes them to become confused in their understanding of the difference between reality and illusion, thereby severely effecting their ability to distinguish truth from falsehood. Thus, Mysticism is a state wherein a person or people adheres to beliefs and/or practices that are based upon vague or obscure ideas or doctrines that cannot be confirmed to be true.
Primitivism: Silent Killer of The African Mind
Primitivism is a intellectual disorder that afflicts the intellectual orientation of a people, and causes them to suffer progressive intellectual deterioration which cripples their ability to evolve in knowledge, destroys their intellectual evolution as a people, and results in massive intellectual stagnation. Thus, Primitivism is a state wherein a nation of people adheres to beliefs, practices or ways of thinking and living that are incorrect and/or obsolete which existed in earlier times or ages.

@bashakari1 in bambara, there is no direct word for tribalism. We have Kabila which means family, and connecting, extended family, it is not a direct translation nor an equivalent. I think you would have to adjust that terminology for Afrikan languages, seeing as there is no direct translation, no equal sign.
What exactly are you proposing to replace this mysticism that you speak of? Vodun is not mysticism, neither is BuKongo which both are a science. Which mysticism are you referring to??
the term progress and progressive are based in judeo-christian anglo-saxon ideology, which does not fit nor overlay on how we understand time much less how our languages are designed to express reality. Progress to what?
intellectual evolution, to what?? once again i find this to be based in anglo-saxon ideology.
it is suggested that you come forth with terms, expressions, sayings from Farafina that creates an image / symbols that are better understood.
