Reposted from @malik_is_mindful To be a Black Nationalist (BN) is the same as being an African Nationalist, and can be used interchangeably. For the sake of fluidity and not to flip flop terminology, I will use Black Nationalist or BN during this post. As a BN, your only concern is to build a Black Nation—period, point blank! The ultimate goal is to ensure the survival of the Black race, the cultures of historically Black states globally, and most specifically in Africa! Far too often, Black Nationalists are criticized for our duality. On one hand, everyone champions us when we spread self-love, self-respect, self-acceptance, self-help, pride, and unity. But as soon as we express the ugly side of what keeps us under the thumb of White pseudo-supremacy to address bigotry, intolerance, hatred, sexism, homosexual agendas, Jewish roles in our oppression, pseudo-science, irrationality, dogmatic historical restructuring, and self-defense we are NOT supported most times by our own people. It seems that the WHY for it all goes over their heads, and all they see is a group of SELF-LOVING BLACK PEOPLE who appear to be motivated more by hatred of their enemies than love of their people. Smh! I am an unapologetic Black Nationalist and that’s all it is to it! For clarification, I see Black Nationalism as a deeper aspect of Pan-Africanism, not to be interchanged. All Black Nationalists can be Pan-African, but ALL Pan-Africans cannot be Black Nationalists. There ARE some PA’s who believe that outside support is a requirement of our empowerment, and overlook that we have no allies in Abibifahodie! We must consider what is best for us and us ONLY—THEN WE MUST SAFEGUARD IT WITH EVERY BREATH WE TAKE! GET ON CODE. STAY ON CODE.🩸💣🔫✊🏾 BLACK POWER! #blackpower #blacklove #blackman #blackwoman #blackempowerment #blackrevolution #racefirst #motivation #spiritualwarfare #loyalty #blackrevolutionary #power #truth #knowledge #blackconsciousness #blackpower #blackqueen #blackunity #blacksunite #blacksunited #blacknationalism #african #panafrican #blackpeople #blackowned #malikismindful https://www.instagram.com/p/CPBRaCpl6DLodU-9Ep3Efu8nUe9-QvUtQZXoHQ0/?utm_medium=tumblr
