    Pan-Africanism : Africa and Black America: How Differ and Why

    Oh for f**k's sake I realise, albeit a bit late, what's your angle. I was under the impression that this was an informed, mature discussion with mature, informed arguments. While it is, that clearly is not the case with you with this nonsense view that Islam is some kind of panacea for Africa...

    Pan-Africanism : Africa and Black America: How Differ and Why

    Well the point is that none of these systems in their Western/Arabic-interpretation (b/c the roots of socialism and democracy lie in Africa itself) can work and they do not work. How could they? These were economic and political systems devised in European societies, in the context of European...

    Black People : BLACK MALE ANGER IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO BEING REARED IN FEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDS???

    Utter rubbish. The problem has little to do with our being raised in “Female-headed households” as it is in our subscribing to the idea that households have to be headed by men. We cannot be talking about African consciousness and Africentricity and yet when it is convenient maintain the...

    Pan-Africanism : Africa and Black America: How Differ and Why

    That may be so but you might want to pause for a moment and consider the fact that when it comes to anti-African racism, Japan ranks right up there with the West and the Arabs, albeit not as well known or displayed. In fact across the Asian continent there have been quite a bit of racist...

    Pan-Africanism : Africa and Black America: How Differ and Why

    I have no arguemtn with that, Omowale, I'm in no way going to deny that. Hell, I'll do one better; right within the Caribbean, we still haven't shaken off a lot of condescending feelings among the various countries: Trinidadians can't stand Barbadians and vice versa, Jamaicans against Guyanese...

    Black Spirituality Religion : Simplistic Article: Is it ok to Attack God, Christians?

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17971622/ The problem I have with this article, like practically every other article regarding this topic, is that discussions often end up along simplistic dualist either/or lines or as if Christians are the eternal victims and didn’t essentially bring much (hell...

    Black Spirituality Religion : Trading one Master for another.

    Hotep It’s nice to see this aspect of the problem being identified. Perhaps the two main things that derail most of our liberation struggles, discussions, and solutions are the issue of religion and – even more problematic – the issue of male-chauvinism in religion. This is a bag of...

    Pan-Africanism : Africa and Black America: How Differ and Why

    Hotep This issue comes up in every African-centred interactive site I’ve ever been on, which is good since it means that this problem is being talked about. The problem here is really one of ignorance of the other’s situation. The solution calls for serious analysis and discussions (such as...

    Pan Africanism : The slavery issue: Crisis in Black Leadership

    Hotep Yes the article may have been written back in the Clinton administration and yes, things have deteriorated even more since then. I cannot help, however, but be equally worried by his diagnosis of the problem. Looking at the article, it appears that, like here in the Caribbean (I'm...

    Black People : Does the Church Limit Black Progress?

    Hotep all This seems like an interesting book, I'll add it to my reading list eventually. For my part I don't think topics like this one could be or should be addressed in an "either/or" fashion; one of the things we need to dispense with is that simplistic Cartesian dualist oppositional way...
