If I am not mistaken, it was Malcolm X who said (paraphrasing): If you want to help us, truly help us, go into your own communities and organize them against what they have been doing to us.
Its important to take that into consideration.
A while back, on this forum, I posted the question asking whether or not Bro. Malcolm was being serious or expressing sarcastic humor, as he often did. One person said that Bro. Malcolm was serious and one person said that he was showing the people that whites would not organize or make organized efforts against themselves. Because, ultimately, that would be suicide (of their nation).
And that is not to say that there aren't any self-sacrificing white folk out there.
I have read "Overturning the Culture of Violence", by the Grace of God. The information was not "liberating" or "to excite liberation" for black people. This could be because the book was put together by Penny Hess, based on the ideology of Yeshitelism, through research and study done by the APSC. So, the book might have been for white folk...and if it wasn't made to be for them, I surely know that it was not for me.
Also, I learned that this brother is an ?African Internationalist? And his program says that ?African Internationalism? is the key, or something like that. Along with the idea that poor people, the proletariat, needs to organize himself to free himself.
To me, personally, nothing is wrong with this idea and if it is used for a sincere effort to free our people...then, let it be. I do not support the APSC, directly...but I know that if I support our people and a gang of our people follow Omali Yeshitela who is a leader for the APSC, well then...I support them indirectly.
With that said, I do not plan to join nor judge the efforts of these people. I know what we have tried and understand and accept the efforts of our people in the struggle. Even if the organizations Omali Yeshitela lead were token-ist or elitist, they serve as catalysts for struggle. Gives our people ideas on how to organize...if anything.
All praises due to God.
I believe we must fight the good fight...know who we are and what we won't accept.
Pan-Africanism or Perish!
