Message to ALL BLACK PEOPLE

[Tikerra]

We need more than that brother.Yes to unity as Africans,then what.We need to get out of the claws of the white race.We are their slaves.They eat our sweat,they dress our sweat and drink our sweat.We have to stand up and say no to that nonsense.They have no resourcses,we have everything.We have to dismantle the slave master relationship which they have instituted upon us for centuries.Otherwise we are doomed as a people.

I have never seen such a divided people in my life! Black caribbeans think they are more superior than Black Africans; black Americans think that they are more superior than black caribbeans and black Africans. Then even among black Africans, there exists a blantant division along tribal lines ---courtesy of colonialism. What is wrong with this picture folks?!? Everything! And we are here on Jamii Forum talking about black unity. This virus of disunity is probably the most dangerous virus worse than HIV which threatens us as a people. I am pleading to all black people all over the world---Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, etc., to please embrace the spirit of oneness, one love and destiny. Africa can never stand in division.

RE-AFRICANIZATION: When Africans in the Americas and the world-over choose to critically examine the "received" ideas and biased perceptions of "reality" imposed on them by Europeans and choose to know reality for what it is - to create themselves through gaining a thorough knowledge of self, knowledge of the world, and through studying and acquiring POWER - they will then have attained the keys to their own liberation - Dr. Amos Wilson

Marcus Garvey is the Truth!!!
Our people first and foremost have to know thy self in order to do that
our people must read and learn the history if ourselves until that happens they will remain lost souls
Glad I know myself & my history starts at home. Mom made us read books about us for us.

Mbuzi Mzee, this is was-sap

Dr Amos Wilson - How White Society promotes Violence in the Afrikan Community - YouTube

For centuries, white people have been saying that black people are inferior. Dr. Wilson is saying that black people are not inferior and not to believe the lies propagated by white people. That doesn't mean that white people are inferior nor is he implying white inferiority.

Re Africanization... wooow

Re-Africanization is a process undergone by individuals who already practice candomblé, batuque or santería (or other comparable ones like tambor de mina or xangô) who, unsatisfied with the religious knowledge they have received, look to current day Africa, especially Yorubaland, as the true source of theological and ritual knowledge. Through this process Africa comes to be regarded not only as theremote origin of the religious tradition but also as contemporary model for its practice. Current African (mainly Yoruba) religious beliefs and practices move center stage. Re-africanized practitioners (who mostly reside in secondary diaspora settings) take courses in Yoruba language and culture; acquire books on Ifa divination and mythology; wear clothes and exhibit statues and ritual paraphernalia imported from Yorubaland, and sometimes undergo initiations with religious practitioners of this origin (Prandi, 1991; Silva, 1995; Palmié, 1995; Capone, 1999a, 1999d). Re-Africanization generally occurs in the later stages of the religious career, after the individual has moved through umbanda or espiritismo and undergone initiation into one or more nations of candomblé or santería or other more African variants

(1797) Abraham Johnstone, “Address To The People Of Color”

In 1797 Abraham Johnstone, a former slave born in Delaware was convicted in Glocester County, New Jersey of murdering Thomas Read, another free African American and sentenced to be hanged. When the court asked for a statement from Johnstone after it announced his conviction, he gave the eloquent public discourse you see below. Although he neither admitted or denied his guilt, Johnstone did address what he called the special circumstances which placed him in court and destined him to the gallows. He also offered extensive advice to other African Americans on how to avoid his fate.

(1789) An Unknown Free Black Author Describes Slavery In 1789

We don't know the name of one of the earliest orators against slavery. He was a West Indian who apparently was a former slave fortunate enough to be educated. He was also intimately familiar with slavery and the slave trade in that region. The themes and arguments advanced in this oration will be repeated by countless anti-slavery speakers for the next eight decades. It is not clear where this address was given but the author who was living in England felt by publishing the text of his speech he would reach a wider audience. The speech appeared in the journal, American Museum in 1789.

Ivorian immigrant in Tripoli: "We blacks are brutalized because of our skin colour"

September 1, 2011



Sub-Saharan African immigrants living in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, are greatly suffering from the fall of Muammar Gaddafi's government and the arrival of anti-Gaddafi forces. One illegal immigrant from the Ivory Coast told FRANCE 24 that opposition fighters attack every black person they come across, because they think they are mercenaries working for the former regime.

Six months ago, at the start of the civil war pitting opposition rebel forces against troops loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, the former Libyan leader recruited thousands of mercenaries – nearly 30,000 according to the nonprofit group Human Rights Solidarity – largely from the neighbouring countries of Nigeria, Chad and Mauritania. The men were reportedly hired to take care of the dirty work of repression, and many were ruthless in their violence.

Since the start of the conflict, there have been reports of sporadic violence against black African immigrants in Libya, but their situation has become critical since rebel forces took over Tripoli last week. The UNHRC, the UN's refugee agency, has expressed concern over the threats and physical violence that African immigrants are now regularly a target of. As opposition fighters comb the capital in search of remaining Gaddafi supporters, black Africans have become increasingly vulnerable due to their visibility.

It is now nearly impossible for these immigrants to leave the country. Two ships were recently sent by the International Organization for Migration to evacuate foreign nationals from Libya, but they carried away very few sub-Saharan African immigrants. This is because the IOM works mostly with embassies to evacuate foreign residents, according to IOM spokesman Jean-Philippe Chauzy. Although Africans make up the vast majority of foreigners in Libya, they often entered the country illegally and are not accounted for by their embassies.

"When they see a black man, they attack him, and the women and children cheer"

Sakia (not his real name) is an Ivorian citizen living in Tripoli. He entered Libya illegally three years ago and worked in a soda factory where he earned money to send to his family back home.


Since the opposition fighters entered Tripoli, I have barricaded myself at home with two other African friends. One is from Ghana, the other from Togo. In my neighbourhood there are Guineans, Malians, Liberians and Nigerians: all are hiding in their homes and won't go out. Our embassies aren't answering the phone, and we don't know what to do, or who to go to for help.

For the past four days, we have only gone outside briefly to go get food. There are road blocks everywhere, with armed youths posted at every street corner. In the calmer afternoon hours, if we think all is clear, then we'll try to go buy food and run back home. It's extremely dangerous for us Africans to stay outside for long, because of our skin colour. When [anti-Gaddafi fighters] see a black man, they attack and insult him, and the women and children cheer. The brother of one of my friends was driven off in a pick-up truck a few days ago and hasn't been seen again. They think we are Gaddafi's mercenaries.

"They come in our homes to ransack everything and beat us"

I haven't been out in three days, and we only have five biscuits to share between the three of us. There is no more running water. Luckily, some neighbours have brought us water from a nearby well. They are Libyan, but they are an elderly couple, and I'm sure they won't turn us in. In fact, they warned us not to go outdoors and not to open the door if anyone knocked. Some Senegalese friends of mine told me that a few days ago, strangers knocked on their door and demanded to come in, supposedly searching for weapons. In the end, they beat my friends up and ransacked their place. We don't know if these men are rebels or thugs. They all carry weapons and wear the colours of the oppposition.

"When 'mister' has gone, you'll see, we'll kill you all"

Since the repression started in Libya, we West Africans have been the victims of both physical and verbal attacks. I was physically assaulted by three young Libyans who mistook me for a Gaddafi supporter. When I was still working at the factory, some of my colleagues would tell me: 'when 'mister' [referring to Gaddafi] has gone, you'll see, we'll kill you all'. So naturally, when the rebels drew closer to Tripoli, we were terrified. We tore up our IDs and family photos so that we couldn't be traced back to our home countries. Before the rebels came, African diplomats assured us that they were negotiating with government representatives to evacuate us. But the talks must have collapsed after the government collapsed.

I heard that an IOM boat came to Tripoli to evacuate foreigners. But crossing Tripoli to get to the harbour is unimaginable for us right now. We would never get there alive. We would need the aid NGOs to drive across the city in buses with loudspeakers to make their presence known."

The amount of money that come out of your pay check(If any), that is if you work at all, would not buy a happy meal from Mc Donalds let alone take care of a black person.

The national statistics do not say that all black people are unemployed or not skilled. Anybody that do not like black, spend a lot of time looking up things about blacks. You should spend that time cleaning up your own back yard.

Mbuzi Mzee, ukitaka kuenjoy your blackness ,stay and live in Black Africa, utaishi kama paradiso aliyoitengeneza Mungu.
Belive me.
Enjoy the benefits of the rest of the world but live in Africa.
Nina marafiki wazuri tu wa kijapani ambao wamegoma kurudi kwao, mmoja nimemsukia kiwanja ameamua kujenga bongo.
Bongo is best!

Why are so bitter and hatred.sorry your black and poor

Kama kiingereza chenyewe grammar ina mgogoro hivi ni bora uandike kutumia lugha nyingine. Aibu

 

[SHERRIF ARPAIO]

The whole idea that people should be united based on the color of their skin is moot since you can't give the definition of "blackness"

Hujafundwa kwenu, unamwaga upuuzi wako na kujionyesha mawazo yamejaa mashonde kabla hata ya kutupa makonde.

You can't embrace blackness -whatever that is- if you can't embrace humanity.
