I had a great discussion with some bro's and sista's this weekend and we were talking about this and many other things. I truly believe, (and you may call it militant...i call it survival) that when Afrikans in amerikka collectively decide that we would rather die free, than to live as slaves, we will be truly liberated. I do not believe that our success as Afrikans, is dependent on whether or not Whites in this country cooperate. Our freedom is now, OUR RESPONSIBILITY. Reading books like Yurugu is the first step. The book will OPEN YOUR MIND. White amerikkka can only hold power over those who GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO DO SO. Our freedom will continue to be dominated by White amerikkka until WE STOP GIVING IT TO THEM. When the oppressed make up their mind to remove the oppressor, the voice of the oppressor is rendered null and void.
As stated by AKA_Monet "As long as we continue to strive for parity in a europee-on social contruction, we will always be separated from our true inherited asili..."
We cannot expect to find freedom within a system that was never designed to give it to us. As Afrikans looking for freedom, we must think outside of this box.
