Ras Brown,

I feel that you do not really understand racism. In this global socio-economic system of White Supremacy, Africans cannot be racist. An African can be bigoted, prejudiced, biased but not racist.Racism involves not just the thought of superiority, but the power to back up that thought with action. Racism is not a random occurence, but is a systematic process that disposseses a particular racial group. Following from this, a Black racist is an oxymoron, a figment of your imagination, which is trying to compensate for and cloud your complicity in the 500 years of African exploition. Calling Africans who try to deal with African issues 'racist' and hateful is only a defence mechanism for you and others to avoid dealing with the past and present realities of racism.

It does not matter how many times white 'rastas' shout 'Rastafari' or 'one love'. That does not make them above racism, white privilege or their complicity in the 500 year old capitalist system.

I will give my thoughts on other points raised by Patriot Warrior when the time permits.
