Just paid a visit to the smithsonian african american history museum (which has its own host of problems) but the history from 1400 on is just a series of cruel bloodthirsty depredations one after another. It was a little bit depressing
It was very nice, and I was surprised that they had a large section on early to modern black power movements. It even mentioned COINTELPRO the assassinations of Hampton and other leaders, though there was no mention of the panthers' nor the civil rights movement's heavy ties to socialism. Spose its better than I expected
See, I consider Winston too assimilationist to rock with. Never could stomach it. From where I sit, we're better off forming a state of our own-- because when in the last 400 years have the crackers proven themselves able stewards of us or our destiny? When in the last 400 years have the crackers proven they'll EVER see us equally, or compensate us equally?
I don't see it when the "when in the last 400 years" question has never been answered-- and I'm not talking by you here, but by history's measure. They've never shown nor proven. All while continuing to murder us by the auditorium-full every year, and carcerally enslaving the ones that are lucky enough to escape the guns, tasers, and occasionally dogs.
I’ve had many crackers prove to be friends, though not all.
As far as you currently know. It's only a matter of time before the mask slips-- assuming it hasn't already.
Also, this land is Indigenous; it belongs to the Indigenous. So no forming a state for me, imho.
A valid point to raise, but it doesn't justify remaining in bondage to a legal system that will always value the crackers more than it does us
Honestly, I'm not here to argue. Your and my experience here are different. I used to have the same opinions as you, but honestly, I just feel that my approach right now is just more realistic and we can't just wait till white people are the minority or something 'cause that's just going to take too long.
every bit of history I've learned recently just makes me want to punch a white person through the wall

Oh, that's a good museum.

That's impressive, tbh, but the lack of ties to socialism exhibited is to be expected.
I've been hitting a point of "if we can't have liberation, revenge is good too" lately.
Honestly, if by revenge, you mean mass-execution of the reactionary vanguard, then yes... at least many a men shall fall!
I'm not for revenge, but I am for justice.
As long as the white bourgeois face justice, then I can let things pass.
But at the same token, I'm generally for multiracial unity.
Like, maybe it's because the CPUSA emphasizes it so much and I'm apart of it.
I'm basically with Henry Winston on the issue.
I used to hate white people, but I've sorta viewed things in terms of cold logic, what gets us to revolution or a revolutionary movement quickest?
But, like, it seems that all the people that have attacked or wronged me in the past were mostly white.
Coincidence? I think not.

I consider him an idealist, p much.
Yeah, I disagree, Winston was pretty realistic in his approach.

By history's measure, we've seen an increasing amount of multiracial movements in the last 100. Honestly, some of my friends have been for life.
I wasn't saying otherwise.
Name a group and I shall try to recall a time where they kicked whitey butt. That helps me sometimes
lol
Yeah, white people have a lot to answer for.
