Man he will be met by so much ignorance from his own people smh. With the mindset of this generation leaders such as Malcolm X, MLK and Garvey will be non effective. Sad to say but my people are lost.

True indeed. Malcolm X would be less powerful than T.D Jakes. MLK would be less respected than Al Sharpton. For one we have no power structure/Family structure to organize and have leadership. These guys will be sell outs or BILL COSBY :wtf:

If Marcus Garvey was alive today, ni99as would be on Twitter and Facebook calling him a c00n and finding every which way they could sh1t on or undermine his ideas and movement. Unfortunately, where our people are at mentally today, they wouldn't accept a brotha like Marcus Garvey.

Not true, Garvey was providing employment, so he would;ve gotten props. No doubt he would get shytted on in the mainstream, but we would fukk with him.

Maybe YOU would but I find it hard to believe that the large majority of African Americans actually would.

The media would find a way to label him paranoid, homophobic, anti American, segregationalist, black nationalist, reverse racist , misogynist, extremist, terrorist and any other "-ist" you can think of to discredit a black man with tangible solutions.

And black folks wouldnt fukk with him unless he had a Reverend or Pastor in front of his name.

considering Garvey had the mind of someone from the 1900's and was on the back to africa movement i doubt even the posters in this thread would follow him.

Could someone tell me what did Marcus Garvey/Malcolm X do or really accomplish?

for example: MLK helped get us civil rights (something concrete)

Current day America might allow Garvey to be successful.

Aint no way they was letting Garvey take away their cheap labor back then

But since we are no longer the "cheap labor," the powers that be may help facilitate that 8-10% drop in the population....
