Those seeking to end Black youth violence, without fundamentally changing the larger society are not working to bring peace to the Black community, they are working to pacify the Black community. Peace and Passivity are not the same. Diallo Kenyatta.

The case for reparations is a topic that is being talked about more often. Even though I suspect there will never be a distribution of reparations for Blacks of the diaspora, if there were to be, in your opinion, what would that distribution look like and what by process of distribution could determine who gets them or not?
I suspect that Reparations would play out just like Affirmative Actions and all the other concessions we’ve forced our Oppressors to make.The way it always plays out is like this:
Black Revolutionist/Militants organize and rise up against our Oppressors.
Our Oppressors kill/frame/exile/demonize the Black Revolutionist.
The Revolutionist out of Love for the people continue in the face of impossible odds and eventually force the Oppressor to...
What are your general thoughts on science? I’ve spoken with black nationalists and some pan-Africans that oppose science and they use terms such as white people science, or white people medicine. Do you think that science today is universal as advertised or is it some white people stuff?
No Science is not Universal. Science is rooted in culture, directed by culture, funded by Systems and Societies. Science is far from Universal or Neutral.Western Science and Scientific Methodology is dominate because the West has viciously imposed it on the rest of the world. It is a Sceince that is short sighted and higly destructive; from the technology it produces, to the disregard it shows for the Natural World and Natural...
What do you think of Dr Anderson’s analysis on the solutions of black liberation?
I have to conclude that Dr. Anderson’s solutions are ultimately Integrationist. He’s seeking a better positions for Black people within the US economy, not the dismantling of the US economy and empire.I fully agree with his drive for Group Economics, and Black Empowerment, but I don’t want it so that we can be more competitive with Whites and other Ethnic groups under Capitalism and US Imperialism, I seek Black Empowerment so...
In “Toward the African Revolution” when Fanon references “Northern Africans” is he referring to “Arabs”?
Fanon was flexible with that term, it covered Arabs and Africans living in the North, and just Arabs. He strongest distinction was between the Colonized and the Colonizer; that’s where his lines were drawn. It’s been some time since I’ve read ‘Towards the African Revolution,’ and I don’t fall back on it as much as I do the 'Wreched of the Earth,’ but your question has motivated me to give it another...
drapetomedia: You Can Take a New Negro Out of the Race, but You Can’t Take the Race Out of the New Negro.
Sorry for coming off as ignorant, but who are Orlav and Jensen? I tried looking up the names but I find nothing. Thank you for your knowledge, wisdom and courage.
Dmitry root of the word Ignorant is “Ignore,” you are not ignorant when you lack information, only went you fail to seek it or acknowledge it when it is presented to you. Your inquiry demonstrates you are far from ignorant.Thanks for the support and compliments.
Bye Raven, & Good Luck.
I think the door to exit the Race should be unlocked, and the path be clear and well lit; but that door should swing one way and not have a doorknob on the outer side. If you want out, get out and stay out. “If you go over there, stay over there.” - Dr. John Henrik Clarke I don’t mind people leaving the Race, but I hate when we let them back in after they fail to find another Race to take them in, or they find that the...
