14147, W.E.B. Dubois was Boule,
Posted by Solarus, Mon Apr-23-01 07:46 AM
Henry McNeale Turner was a Christian pastor,
Marcus Garvey was a Capitalist and a Christian,
Muhammad Ahmad (the Madhi) was a Muslim,
Huey Newton was a Marxist.

Point of this?

All of our AFRAKAN ancestors imbibed AFRAKAN SPIRIT which lead them to seek ways out of their (OUR) oppression, which has finally led US of today to come FULL CIRCLE in returning to OUR WAY. The beauty of Afrakan traditions is fluidity and the ability to simultaneously RESPECT and CRITICIZE the mistakes made by OUR ancestors, asking for THEIR GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT as we continue on the PATH of the CREATOR that THEY CLEARED for US.

OUR WAY is the ONLY WAY for OUR LIBERATION!

SANFOKA!!!

On understanding Afrakan thought:
"it's like explaining astrophysics to a whino, the explanation can't be done like that. when people try to simplify it, they ask the other person to tailor the answers their cultural context. and trying to cater afrikan ideals to european understanding is a REAL sin."-utamaroho
