We need to turn "militant" into a positive term of endearment.

[Concerning VIolence]

Like how many people try to spin "******" or "bytch".

Being called militant should be a badge of honor.

Instead of "militants..."



It should be "what's up militant! "


And if you're a fake one you should be called out.

I agree. Nothing wrong with knowing your history and treating people accordingly.

 

[qwasi]

Militant in whatever context is often associated with aggression which borders on the extreme. What's more it's perpetrators perceive their actions as gospel & fact vicisciouly to opposition. Its the fanatical extents to which people go that give it a bad reputation. I might be wrong but very few militants last & in a bid to spread their message they tone it down. Passion =/= Aggression.

Militancy isn't met with adversity like hotep, shea butter is, so all is not lost.

But what exactly defines 21st century black militancy?

People are tired of being preached to from someone from an ivory tower or a corner preacher, tired being ostracized for one or two minor disagreements, they want results. They want action.

What I mean is, why exactly should militancy be met with the same respect as say Pro-Black or Pan-Africanism.

The only place I hear the term militant is here on the coli. Usually used by frustrated white boys and kumbaya pawg lovers
