I'm listening to Yvette Carnell right now discussing Pan-Africanism, and how its something that is a lost dream, but what's getting me is the comments show me people are waking up! Black americans are seeing we have to let go of the 60's & 70's talk of worldwide black unity, and calling ourselves African because it has been used to hurt us.
I think the coli has something to do with this, because I know prominent people read these threads. I can see her views growing, along with tone talks.
Tough times are coming, but I really think its gonna get us back on track to where we were going. I still think the 60's & 70's were important as far as us waking up from how we used to think about ourselves as black people, that era is the main reason we even call ourselves black with no shame! But that same thinking is hurting us because a lot of foreigners don't think like that when they come here, and are separated from us, which is being used to hurt us by people who don't like neither one of us. Someone said something that really is true, they said how can you go to a foreign land, and talk shyt about the citizens of that land, and do it for the world to see while you still live there! You have got to have a mind that is really gone to do shyt like this, yet its being done. I heard it growing up, but now they have gotten bold with it, but its being used against them because the internet is allowing people who don't really know any immigrants, to see this. hopefully immigrants who are about justice will speak to their people to stop this, because they will get hurt also, and there are a lot of good immigrants, and offspring of immigrants.
The point of this post was to show why I think we are about to go back to the times when black people did work together, such as Hayti! You have to talk about black immigrants coming here in the late 60's, and huge amount in the mid 70's, to understand why things kept getting worse. This same thing happened after slavery when the country allowed whites from other country's to come here, and up the white population in order to hinder black growth. Its no coincidence as soon as civil rights was getting strong in the mid 60's, the wave of non-white immigrants were allowed, and the games the system plays started just with a different face. Black people waking up, though! If everyone played their part to be about justice, America can really be the land that will go down in history of everyone from different places, and backgrounds, living together in peace! i'm from Brooklyn,ny so I know it can happen, just need to weed out the clowns who make it so hard because of their tribalism.
