It’s hard to discuss such issues in a Western Context because of the commercialization, and commodification of Sex, and the imposition of Romance and Romantic Love; but I’ll try. In an individualized and materialistic culture like the one that come out of Europe and colonized the world, Sex is as distorted as all other aspect of the culture, and as toxic and destructive. The Western attitude towards sex, and how it applied to...
The Moors are yet another Cult founded by a Charismatic figure, or Cult of Personality who merged historical events, religious dogma, and group dynamics to form a new religion, “community,” or “nation." If you take a look at the Black community since the end of the Reconstruction Era, you will find many such cults, and messianic figures emerged, some were transient, others have held on and morphed over the decades, like...
Dr. Khalid Muhammad only advocated for African Power and African Control over African Lives, African Lands, and African Resources. I have not seen, heard, or read where he or any other Black Revolutionist or Pan-Africanist ever advocated that we invade Europe, Asia, or any other lands we don’t justly occupy and oppress and exterminate its native inhabitants. Not even the most Militant Africans have attempted or advocated such...
I think HBCUs accomplish the task for which their White founders and financiers set them up for to identify the Talented Tenth, a Black pseudo-Elite, then to…
Give the US a facade of inclusion, opportunity, and equality for Blacks.
To create a controlled Black leadership caste.

The WPS has also integrated African Studies, Afrocentricty, Black Pride, Black Economic (mal-)Development and other once subversive programs and...
Self-immolation is an act done to bring attention to an issue or cause in the most dramatic way possible. Self-immolation is literally an act which uses ones own life and body as a beacon of light, to spark a Revolution, or to shed a condemning light on an unseen or unacknowledged atrocity. After seeing more than a few instances of Black youth setting themselves ablaze in the Fire Challenge I got to reflecting on the conditions of Black youth,...
I repeat….for the umpteenth time: Africans in the US are not citizens of the US, we are Subjects of the American Empire, we don’t pay taxes we pay tributes (or more accurately; tributes are extorted from us). They call us citizens, and the money they extort from us taxes, but we know we are outside the system, we are under the system, not a part of the system. We who are conscious know this. Note: One way for Africans to be fully...
