In Swahili Muntu means 'Soul' or 'essence of mankind'.
The first Western use of the word was when a Black Prison officer at San Quentin originated the MUNTU symbol as a cover design for a program to give opportunities to Black convicts. It is used in America as a marketing brand name 'African American symbol whose owners claim it to mark 'the awakening of a new consciousness. An enlightened oneness.'
Muntu is also the name of the President of Tanzania in the Simpsons African episode.
Muntuism though is not any of these things.
Muntuism is a generic name describing a specific stereotype of the human condition. A Muntuist will conform to certain essential behavioral criteria.
A Muntuist will:
1. Not display any intelligent consideration.
2. Prioritise base needs above all else.
3. Will not show any awareness of accountability.
4. Will not demonstrate the ability to connect cause and effect.
A Muntuist is essentially a low level human being who has not yet made the transition from a subsistence base existence to being a contributing beneficiary of a social order. In a World beset by the iniquitous ways of the Muntuists, eliminating Muntuism represents mankind's best hope for raising global consciousness, thereby enhancing the prospects of a better world for all.
