Brothers, we keep rooting our identities in shit we have no control over, as Black men. It’s insane to root our manhood in anything that other men can grant or deny us; a job, income, education, etc. That’s how these muthafuckas, disrupt and manipulate our Hoods. As Shahrazad Ali once stated; “the White man is the God of Jobs,” he giveth and he taketh away. Even you cats with “chall own biznesses,” yall do...
When Arab/Asian/Europeans invaders reach Africa’s shores and embarked on a genocidal orgy of colonization and enslavement there were only three basic options for Africans: 1. Cooperation (Treason) 2. Submission 3. Resistance These same three options still remain today, because Africa and the African Diaspora are still subject to the oppression and atrocities of those who invaded our lands and enslaved and colonized our ancestors.
We are...
Protesting police for police brutality and murder is like protesting an attack dog for biting people in the neighborhood. Can you imagine that a child gets mauled to death and the community begins to march around the dog house, and form a blockaded around the dog’s water bowl? How stupid would they look? What do you do when there’s a dog terrorizing the neighborhood; you go to the owner! You sanction the owner, you fucking sue,...
Just as we finally, after more than 40 decades are finally making progress in the effort to remove “Black-on-Black” violence from the lexicon of the Black community and larger society; we have New Negros like Spike Lee injecting an even more insidious, and inaccurate term into our collective consciousness: Self-Inflected Genocide. You’d think that Africans, in Africa and the Diaspora would have a better understanding, or at...
“When the Lion and the Leopard go to war, who should the Antelope root for?” - Diallo Kenyatta (My wife told me to stop quoting myself, but I’m proud of this one, it rhymes.) When two (or more) Races, cultures, nations, religions that have historically oppressed, enslaved, colonized, mass murdered Africans go to war, what the fuck do we look like picking a side? Really? I ain’t even saying we shouldn’t, but how?...
diallokenyatta: First off, there wouldn’t be so many non-French, or non-Europeans in France (or the Rest of Europe) if France (and most other Western European nations) did not embark on an orgy of Invasion, Rape, Torture, Theft (of land, labor, resources, culture, and people), Colonization, and General Disruption of nations of the Third World; from Haiti, to Algeria, to Vietnam, just to name a few. Arabs, Africans, and Asians ain’t moving...
No. Whites are a social, political, and ideological construct based on the European and Eurasian phenotype. Racial characteristic are obviously superficial adaptations to the ecosystems human populations evolved in. Human populations also had to develop psychological and cultural practices to survive and thrive in their ecosystems; the combination of physical, psychological, and cultural adaptations is what gives us the wide diversity in...
You got it. There isn’t one Terrorist Group that is/was not trained, funded, supported, and guided by a Government. That includes street gangs that engage in political or destabilizing violence within oppressed and resistance groups. The US government has been busted way too many times supporting armed terrorist groups, from the Mujaheddin (now know as: the Taliban and Al-Qaeda), to the Contras, to the Mafia, to the crack dealing Urban...
