Black Nationalism

tomofson

I have had a strange fascination with Black Nationalism for the last few years now, I love to hear pan africans speak and their message to the world. Especially the really intellectual black nationalists...

One's I would recommend you give a listen to is.

Malcolm X (obviously)
Marcus Garvey
Khalid Muhammad
Akala
King Samir
Dick Gregory
Frances Cress Welsing...

Would welcome any other suggestions

This is a good speech from Khalid Muhammad

Not seen any racism but you are allowed your opinion I suppose.

Its okay to be racist as long as you're not white.

This thread is going to be just full of intellectual and stimulating discussion.

Are you so simple minded you can't even see that nothing they say is actually racist???

All good black speeches were plagiarised. Martin Luther kings speech was ripped off and was nearly word for word transcribed from someone else.

Then you may as well say every single speech within the last 1000 years is plagiarized

Have you considered requesting your own thread OP?

Would you be equally interested in similar speeches given by white people or would that make you a racist?

Okay then, why do you think it's a good speech? What appeals to you about it? Is it the message or just the delivery?

I think the delivery is very good, also some of the message I can relate to, though not all.

Black nationalism isn't racism. African Americans were robbed of their freedom, country, culture, religion and rights.

Puts me in mind of younger days when Gangster Rap first came out and you could enjoy the bizarre intellectual contortions employed by white, middle class, guilt-trippers to process/explain the violent sexism, racism and antisemitism therein so they could just safely enjoy their ghetto tourism and guns/bitchez fetishism.

If Malcolm X wasn't taken out then America wouldn't be as rotten as it currently is. A brilliant man.

Your misunderstanding rap music if you think it was just about that.

Sorry tom, didn't mean to hit a nerve!

What I find funny, is none of them want to go back to Africa. Because as bad as they have it (or think they have it) in the States, they'd have it even worse in Africa.

The one time that they did go ahead and try and return to their roots, Liberia was born. Now one of the most impoverished and lawless countries in the world. :rolleyes:

Akala also has the benefit of being a bad-ass rapper.

I am not denying that.

To be honest I just wanted people to appreciate the articulate approach and real message behind black nationalist instead of just thinking "reverse racism" at the mere mention of it. Regretting making this in the first place now.

Cheers for that. No discussion here.
