Pan-Africanism is grounded in the belief that Africa is one; the artificial borders being the result of the Berlin conference, where European powers carved up the continent and divided the spoils among themselves. Pan-Africanism is grounded in the belief that all African peoples, wherever we may be, are one, and as Dr. Nkrumah says,"belong to the African nation"; our dispersal was the result of European imperialism and racism. Pan-Africanism is grounded in socialism which has its roots in com...

One of Nigeria's premiere actresses Omoni Oboli (On the left in Pink) was offered a lead role in some big budget Hollywood film about Africa in which she was to receive half a million US$ dollars, but then rejected it because of nudity. Apparently some things just aren't for sale...like Dignity! Not to mention, having the image of an entire country riding on your shoulders was also a pretty significant component weighing in on the matter - to be sure. She's done us proud.

There are many anecdotes in the black communities around the world that prove quite clearly our collective disdain for the continent of Africa. This is largely the case because we have been so thoroughly conditioned to believe that white is preferable to black. It's easier for "the powers that be" to maintain the status quo of white power and influence in the American hierarchy of class and race by getting everyone else to hate and denigrate their own hereditary ethnic characteristics. Theref...

I got teary-eyed but was also boiling with anger upon listening to this report. I couldn't help it. I personally do not condemn the Somalians for having taken matters into their own hands. Maybe that doesn't sound Christian, but it can't be any worse than what these other so called "Christian" nations have done and in fact, are continuing to do. I mean, where else can the Somalians  make an appeal if United Nations turns a blind eye? Why is all the Media virtually slanted in telling only one ...

As you listen to a series of three clips regarding; Italy,France, & Germany  on a link below, you'll gain a better sense of just how privileged we are in America.  Truly, the opportunity for blacks here is clearly a singular event and must be vigorously exploited that we might help our brothers and sisters far and wide in a Pan-Africanist ideological approach.

This morning, I was able listen to an interesting conversation about the African continent with an emphasis on Darfur, which is in Sudan - you guys knew where that was of course. Radio Dickson interviews the co author of the book, The Scramble for Africa, Steven Fake. There are only two short clips. You can listen here.

When I first saw this film two years ago I was so deeply moved. It gives me great pride to learn of such noble representatives and keepers of African lore like Dr. John Henrik Clarke. His criticisms are incisive and unbiased, for the most part anyway. In the film however, Dr. Clarke mentions that his left-leaning contemporaries had made no serious study of blacks in the Diaspora. Fortunately, since his time so much more scholarly analysis has been brought to bear on the subject and with it, a...
