@Tony_Gaskew I dont think a revolution against the state is needed. I think we need to focus on creating our own institutions while keeping in mind the natural opposition that will come from the state or white supremacist in general.

Derrick Bell's critical race theory
Was perhaps the only theoretical contribution
The black academy has made to the black american community over the past 50 years
To justify a unified, violent, armed black revolution against the State

As long as we’re desperate for representation, the white man will be able to sell us anything.

@eihtbeezy Didn't some of the street gangs as well get boosted in their propositi for violence by the Vietnam war

Interesting point. Every epoch of black nationalism in America has been spearheaded by black vets. From Martin Delaney, to the UNIA foot soldiers, to Robert Williams, to Bobby Seale…

US military service is a breeding ground for white nationalism An argument can be made that the US military today, could not survive without white nationalism US military service use to inspire black nationalism Not anymore & Most likely Never again
English
@BigBroLGND Because we have never agreed on what should be the proper response to white supremacy. Read Harold Cruse he explained it best that the main divide between black people is between nationalist and assimilationist. Many black still believe the solution is to assimilate with whites
English
How can we get Black people together if we can’t even agree on what’s happening?
English
@ArtemisConsort Yes we do have differences are you saying blacks and whites are the same
English
There is no argument for racial voting districts that isn’t an argument for ethno-nationalism. “Black voters have concerns and interests so totally distinct from those of White voters that if they can’t have special racial districts, they’re basically unrepresented.”
On that account, we have nothing in common at best and at worst have mutually hostile interests. So we shouldn’t live under the same government.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

@RealRannMiller Rather we should have never been waiting for racism to go away in the first place
English
All them Confederates… this is why the VRA was necessary to begin with. Derrick Bell was right… racism will never go away.

@GodKingJustice Deep down every black Marxist just wants to mix with white people
English
More than the alternative. Yall still haven’t waged a class war and still get in the way of Black peoples politics. You literally get on here every day and appeal to broke white people who care nothing about us. No communist revolution was won after the Panthers embraced a rainbow coalition and marxist politics fully. They did less in the Black community after that, not more.

If this is what Thomas is doing he is one of the great morons of all world history, because when did America ever need help expressing racism? He could be off the court actually helping his people and somebody else, probably another Black man, would be fulfilling the same role.

What if Justice Clarence Thomas doesn’t hate his people at all? What if he wants Black people to stop believing in liberal democracy as a system and is trying to get a message through to them by allowing the racism at the core of American democracy to be fully expressed?

@Forever_noir_ @GodKingJustice The comparisons that mao was apart of the majority in his country
English
@GodKingJustice What are you trying to say here. Mao supported the argument that black ppl constituted an internal colony and should seek national self determination. What is there to compare, Mao and Garvey agreed with each other lol
English
If you compare Mao to Garvey without admitting one was in his homeland where his people were the majority and the other wasn’t you’re making a disingenuous comparison.
English
@CamThaKing @GodKingJustice Garvey wanted power for black people he was never going to surrender black autonomy over to white leftist or communist
English
@GodKingJustice Also, as much as I adhere to Marcus Garvey’s philosophy, he was devoutly anti-communist and even praised capitalism as a progression of human development.

@reesetheone1 I still don’t understand what he was thinking. What was the actual justification for him bowing to the GOP so much?

@Tony_Gaskew @eihtbeezy Because he said so. He wants black people to forget about race and assimilate into mainstream white American culture. Thomas IS NOT a nationalist he does not want separate black institutions
English
Why would it be obvious you are against white liberalism, illegal immigration, abortion, bigger federal government powers, etc.?
I don't know who you are
But it does appear you support the exact same black nationalistic traits rooted in Justice Thomas's supreme court opinions
Why do you perceive Justice Thomas to be an assimilationist - under your understanding of the term?
English
All this post showed me was that a lot of niggas LOVE democracy. No matter how much death it produces in the real world.

English
@Tony_Gaskew @eihtbeezy ...Obviously if I am against abortion white liberalism is out of the question. I am for whatever empowers black people independently from white control. Why are you avoiding my statements about Thomas?
English
@LionTesfaye @eihtbeezy What about white liberalism, illegal immigration, and the racialzed expansion of federal government power?
English
It appears you disagree with my assessment
Do you support the murder of over 20 million unborn black babies?
Do you support racialized gun control laws that limits the rights of black americans, including those who became felons during the war on drugs?
Do you support white liberalism, illegal immigration, and the racialzed expansion of federal government power?
Just curious
English
@GodKingJustice @JRT__25 I think he just likes the whole idea of a black nationalist infiltrator the whole spook who sat by the door thing he’s applying that to Thomas
English
@LionTesfaye @JRT__25 Nah lol He Black male studies so they like to analyze shit to death instead of saying we should just build a nation and get to it.
English
This article aint it. Professor Smith mischaracterizes and minimizes Black Nationalism as the pursuit of Black advancement within the confines of America’s constitutional order. And he has the nerve to invoke Malcolm X while doing so.

@GodKingJustice @JRT__25 Has his account been hacked or something? Can believe he up here defending Clarence Thomas he to actually believe Thomas is a nationalist

@JRT__25 Fam been conflating things for a min, why? I have no idea

It’s only ONE definition of black nationalism. You can express it differently but if the end goal is not a separate nation it’s not Black Nationalism.
