Everyone Gathering Together in Peace
Colonizers (human slavers) feared the drum because they understood that rhythm talks. They were afraid we would use the drum to rise up, and do to them what they were doing to us.
To justify their own violence, abuse and thievery, colonizers dehumanized and demonized everything that wasn’t their own. They said we were not human, devil worshipers who practice “black” magic and a bunch of other nonsense. Colonizer priests played along because it enriched them too. Politicians gained power. Hollywood made money. This colonial point of view got into our heads and became part of our American culture.
One of the things the colonizers didn’t realize is that there are no demons, only demonizers. To dehumanize others, you must dehumanize yourself first and that eats you from the inside. Demonizers start imagining monsters everywhere. That’s the trouble in our country now. We’ve become the very demons that we so feared.
The colonizers got the drum wrong too. The drum is a healing instrument. It’s true that it talks, but “jembe,” a West African word for drum, says “everyone is gathering together in peace.”
Regardless of your heritage, it’s time to start the drum again. It’s time for everyone to be gathering together in peace.
