Since we have been telling people these same things for decades, it warms the spirit to hear our youth, especially those who other youth are more inclined to listen to, articulate the same very powerful messages. We should think for ourselves as a people and we shouldn't parrot and fall in line with the logic and interests of our enemies. We should seek out our mother - Africa - and understand our continued connection to her and the role she will play in our forward destiny. Very strong and necessary messages. And if that alone didn't give me all I needed for this past weekend, I had the additional privilege of seeing all of the hatred directed at Kaepernick by so many people for his continued bold stances. Now, when I say so many people, I'm talking about the rabid and overt racists all the way to the liberal petit bourgeois who are all for Black Lives Matter until there is the slightest discomfort on their part. I'm also talking about the many Africans in this country who suffer from a disease called SM2017, or slave mentally 2017. I know, I know, people always say "don't read the comments", but in this case, I wouldn't dare not read them. The naked hatred and racism serve as excellent gauges from which to truly evaluate the growing insecurity and desperation on the part of these creatures. I mean think about it. As if anyone who understands what Colin Kaepernick is really doing. As if any African youth, Indigenous youth, even conscious European youth, are going to listen to ignorant and naked racism and/or the constant apologizing for capitalism that has become standard fare for the African sell outs. In other words, nobody cares what any of you people think about us, our struggle, and who we choose as our heroes and sheroes. No body. We aren't talking about you, we aren't concerned about you, and we definitely aren't intimidated by you. I read the comments because its great case study material. Its astounding to me how these people cannot even grasp what's happening and what Kaepernick represents. He has clearly found his vision in life and he is correctly connecting it to his people's culture and history. From that, he is finding truth and harmony. I know this because I've been to the slave dungeons he displayed in his video multiple times. I know he is opening himself up to listen to his ancestors. By going to Africa, he is following in the footsteps of W.E.B. Dubois, Shirley Graham DuBois, Malcolm X, Franz Fanon, Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) and all the many Africans who have paved the way for so many more of us to see this light. And once we accept the light, we are then in the position to hear their messages to us. That's why we know that once this light is revealed, it is impossible for people to go back into the darkness that plagues us in this backward society. Kaepernick has what he needs now and nothing any of these dimwits say can do anything to dent his armor. More importantly, he is teaching so many of us that we can strengthen ourselves the same way and that is really what these idiots are afraid to see happen. So, I'll be reading those comments. Its great humor to me to see these people unravel at the sight of us waking up.
If you haven't seen it yet, National Football League (NFL) Quarterback Colin Kaepernick recently spent time in Ghana, West Africa. While he was there, he had the presence of mind to shoot a very impressive video of his visit to Accra, Ghana, the slave dungeons at Cape Coast, Ghana, and his travels to other parts of the country. Since I love Africa I would have been satisfied with just that. Its not often that well known African celebrities speak highly of Africa. I pay attention looking for it. It doesn't happen that often. And for every one of them like Jada and Will who do say something positive about our mother, there are many more like ignorant Floyd Mayweather who willingly feed the well of stupidity on this question. In fact, even if the results were evenly mixed, the reality that we are operating on 500+ years of negative propaganda about Africa (as an ongoing tactic to justify exploiting Africa and her children) makes the positive that much more needed. So, anytime any African goes to Africa and makes the point of highlighting their connection, our connection, to our mother, that's encouraging, but Kaepernick of course, didn't stop there. He issued a statement questioning why any African in the U.S. would celebrate the 4th of the lie since what the day was founded on, and certainly what it represents today, has absolutely nothing to do with our forward progress as a people.
