Let’s be honest: the world is in a freefall. We are drowning in illusions... fake profiles, synthetic identities, centuries of manipulation... all feeding an ecosystem sustained by corporate greed, racial division, and the constant drumbeat of war. To make matters worse, the planet itself is collapsing under the weight of human excess. The ultra-wealthy, now masters of both material and digital realms, have consolidated power on a scale previously unimaginable. Artificial intelligence, once a tool of promise, is being weaponized to sway elections and reinforce authoritarian regimes. When Trump is finally removed from office, he won’t be the last; another autocrat will rise, cultivated by think tanks like the Heritage Foundation, who are quietly engineering a future designed to eliminate two-thirds of the global population. This is not paranoia... it’s strategy unfolding in real time.
For people of color, this moment in history does not belong to us. Our ancestral power has been systemically undermined, our historical greatness buried under centuries of colonization and cultural erasure. And yet, when we reflect on our past, we find undeniable proof of former glory.
Consider the Mali Empire, which endured for nearly 400 years, beginning with the legendary Sundiata Keita and reaching its zenith under Mansa Musa, the richest man in recorded history. Even in decline, the spirit of Mali persisted into the 17th century, giving way to the mighty Songhai Empire... another Black-led civilization that ruled for 150 years before Morocco, with its own thousand-year lineage of monarchies, brought about its fall.
The Moroccan Empire, rooted in the Idrisid dynasty of the 8th century, still exists today through the Alawi dynasty. Its people (predominantly Arab and Berber) are heirs to one of the oldest monarchies in the world, second only to Japan’s Yamato Dynasty, whose unbroken lineage stretches back over 2,600 years.
These legacies are not mere trivia... they are reminders. Civilizations rise and fall in cycles, and people of color have led some of the most profound and enduring. But empires collapse not only because of external invasions, but because of internal decay... division, hubris, and the abandonment of harmony with the Earth.
Which brings us to now. Earth, like Mars before it, is on the verge of a celestial eviction. After millennia of exploitation and disregard, the planet is beginning to push back. Climate disaster, ecosystem collapse, and widespread social unrest are not isolated events; they are symptoms of a world that has had enough. And the truth is stark: humanity may have already passed the point of no return.
In short, we are not only losing our grip on morality, equality, and truth... we are losing our home. Unless a radical transformation takes place, our fate will mirror the desolation of Mars. And this time, there will be no one to remember us.
