Re: I agree 100000000%%%%
In Response To: Re: I agree 100000000%%%% ()

True when you say, "Every manifestation of white supremacy that manifested in the past is still manifesting today.", but that is only part of the story why some of our communities have turned to crack or violence or whatever. The other part of that story is the lack of self knowledge or determination to rise oneself, or our neighbours, out of that situation. The only way past that is not to only talk about white supremacy (though I agree with you it still has to be part of the message), but to teach self determination, which is much more empowering.

As you say, not everyone has come to that awareness so yes the politrix of white supremacy has to be discussed, but I would say, at the same time as self determination, not as an isolated issue. If it becomes an isolated reasoning then it is only raising problems with no way of the individual seeing past that negative cloud, and only becomes mentally crippling. Teaching self determination as Marcus Garvey did is raising awareness of the problem and also pointing out the solution. Much more practical and useful.

With regards the story about the "racist" firebombing in London. Yes I too was shocked by how quickly they said it was racially motivated just because they had no other motive to go by. If I saw the brother in the photofit in real life I too would fear for my own life, even if he was my own brother. Serioulsy though, he may well look like that, but I get your point that it is ultimately the white supremacist mentality that suggests the incident was racially motivated, just because it was a black man's crime against Asian (?). (May not be Asian. I couldn't tell by the name.). I still maintain however that the only way to teach awareness of the racist agenda of society is through self determination, as it is about survival. I would go as far to say that raising problems by themselves and apportioning blame is whining. Helping another brother out of the dust is action.

One, Aim, One God, One Destiny.
