There is no such thing as a black racism against whites; racism is based on fantasy; black views of whites are based on fact.

I don't want nothing from the white man.

I don't want to be a senator.

I don't want to be in the house of representatives.

I don't want to be a city councilman.

I don't want to work in corporate amerika.

I don't want no grant.

I don't want him to finance me.

I don't want him to fund me.

"All I want to do is just give him hell, all the days of my life. That's all I want to is just give him hell, all the days of my life."

The Africans living in the Westen Hemisphere should be sensitive to the fact that the slaves ships coming from Africa to the so called new world brought no West Indians, no black Americans, no South Americans. They brought African people who had to adjust to the conditions where the slave ships put them down. It is by sheer accident that some Africans away from home are called jamaicans, some Trinidadians, Barbadians and some called African Americans. They are all African people reacting to different forms of oppression.

Black people are the only group of people, ethnic
or racial, that has consistently sought to integrate
and continues to seek integration, though white
society has repeatedly rejected them....


The reality of integration is that the integrating group loses all self-determination, since all plans and goals must be
processed through and approved by the dominant society
into which the minority group is integrating....


Integration and equal opportunity are grounded in the belief that dominant white society will voluntarily share power with blacks.

Power is rarely shared, especially between competitive groups.

Power holders have no desire for equality.

Humanitarian Disease

Significantly, most African peoples, regardless of their locations in the world, have Humanitarian Disease. By this term I mean that they, generally, are overly helpful and trusting of outsiders and foreigners -- especially white people.

Humanitarian Disease is learned behavior. It becomes 'diseased' when Africans provide more cooperation, and demonstrate more unity with other races -- especially white people --, than to other African people.

It was, and still is, this learned African psychological and cultural personality characteristic that lead to our enslavement in America.

It also accounts for the betrayals of our African liberation warriors (female and male) today."

@Drunkmonkey, my southern Brother, special request, just for you:

The situation in South Africa is a fraud, a fake, if they had the elections tomorrow and if Nelson Mandela became president, there would be no change because whites would still control 87% of the land, the airports, the mineral wealth of the country.

You can only have an alliance between equals. ...

Why do we keep lying to ourselves and think that we can gain freedom without hurting anybody; everybody else in the world had to do it."
