Total Empowerment of the African People

By Sicebise Msengana

I’ve been following the developments in black America for some time. I can tell that our people in America are divided. The core tenets of white supremacy is dividing those who are conquered, in the hope of keeping the system alive. The gender wars between the black males and black females serve such a purpose.
 I was reading some comments on a so-called black feminist blog and I quote ‘I am so done with Black people-both males and females. Both of them are ardently anti Black woman and minds filled with internalized racism. I
don't owe these people my allegiance, loyalty, womb or anything to these cretins... .’ But these sisters were responding to the black people’s cognitive dissonance on police brutality that also affects African women in the U.S. as well.

But I feel that the frustrations and the anger in our people shouldn’t be vented out in self-defeating ways. If you don’t owe your allegiance and womb (or manhood) to the black community, then who do you owe your loyalties to? The enemy? White people? Arabs? Indians? Chinese? How in the world can any person of African descent actively seek equality in a plantation? Because complete liberation and total empowerment of our people will never be achieved between the legs of white women or the loins of white men. Unless you and I are fighting for token gains such as sharing restaurants, hotels or having the opportunity to dating/sleep with white people.

Then we should take out the ‘RECOGNITION and DIGNITY as HUMAN BEINGS’ rhetoric from our vocabulary. And celebrate these token victories because we are nothing but a token-orientated people.

The cure for racism is not interracial sex or marriage; the solution to racism is either the destruction of those who created racism as a way of self-preservation(survival) or tear apart this existing political system imposed on the non-white population and put into place a new political and economic system based on merit, justice and liberty for all. A system that does not discriminate based on your colour, religious beliefs, gender and origin.

The only reason why the black family is being attacked is simply because it poses a serious threat to white supremacy/racism. The establishment knows that interracial dating, sex and marriage with white people and other non-African people, breaks the will to resist the system (people who are sleeping or married to white and other non-Africans are useless to black consciousness).  Great measures are taken to keep the African man and his woman apart through the INTERRACIAL CON GAME (extermination through miscegenation).

Without an authentic black family, fighting loses its meaning and without the African man/ woman, which is an important factor in winning victory over the enemy, and of disintegrating the enemy troops, it becomes impossible to establish revolutionary political power. To quote a legendary scholar also known as the Pharaoh of black history, Dr. RUNOKO RASHIDI ‘For Black people to talk about building up the Black community, marrying other Black people, spending money in the Black community, educating the children in that community and supporting other Black people is neither racism or racist. It is collective self-preservation and good common sense.’
