![]() ![]() on NDN/Native/First Nation/Indigenous erasure? How can you completely ignore the fact that the United States is a settler colony & its genocide of NDN peoples? & why should we define our nation based on where we happened to get dropped off at & boundaries defined by our colonizers? Are the struggles of peoples of African descent ONLY in the United States? Is the racial category of Black the only means by which we define ourselves? What economic structure & government system is supposed to be at the core of this Black nation that takes land that belongs to First Nations peoples? The fact is Black nationalism understands Black people in the United States as a nation of peoples, which is problematic because where did we come from? What land do we own? How can you situate the liberation of Black people in the U.S. (1) Black/Cultural nationalism & Afrocentrism are NOT Pan-Africanism via a quick series of tweets:Ī Primer on Pan Africanism/Nkrumah Toureism This blog post serves the purpose of serving as a teaching tool that provides information & links for: (a) someone who is unaware about these topics &/or (b) a quick link for those who want to help the those who don’t know.īut before I list out these texts & documentaries, I want to clear the air on somethings I see going around on social media that are extremely problematic. So in light of these misinformation campaigns, I decided to list out key texts on understanding race, ethnicity, & how white supremacist racism works as well as some ACTUAL documentaries that do a way better job at providing historically accurate information as we attempt to decolonize & move forward towards equitable political liberation for all. Unfortunately reactionary cishetpatriarchal Black men & Black women are taking advantage of these interests & are directing many to hegemony painted in Black. In light of a lot of people paying attention to the extrajudicial murders of Black men in the news (& all the Black women being murdered by both the police & Black men but I see the reactionary cishetpatriarchs are ignoring that) a lot of people are open to trying to find out more about their Blackness, our history, and understanding how we got to where we are today. ![]() So I have been thinking about writing this post for a while & now I’m finally getting to it. ![]()
