Comment on Why I'm A Narrow Minded Black Nationalist













Comment on Marvin X's Why I'm a Narrow Minded Black Nationalist








Comment from Gerald Ali, United Kingdom



Well written, states the case clearly, but one point lacking, where ??? What part of the usa/usa would be good to found such a nation ?? My view from outside the usa/usa is south..... The gulf is an opening to the world, by water, Mexico... and below is an opening to trade, which in this world is needed by all nations, below in south America, the Caribbean, are more of African descent. All nations need farmers, hamlets, villages [where so many of the earths people actually live] towns, but in a future world do they/ will they need cities or are they of the past ??? Or can a society be reconstituted differently, can the barriers between town and country be broken/removed and yet the nation still be organised ???



Children are ''alienated' from the earth, most particularly by city life...... End the alienation, they will grow up as full human beings.... Karl Marx said the proletariat was ''alienated from the means of production, in bourgeois society''', some are small minded, literalists, they do not apply the concept, so do not realise its full meaning. The earth is itself the means of production of human life and all that sustains it. As with all other life......So the call was not just for the proletariat to take control of the means of production in the cities, but for people generally to take control of the earth from the bourgeois class....
So what in full reality, as a living entity is a nation. ??? Migration south, till a majority is reached in one, possibly more states, but it will need farmers, village people, workers etc. Any American is open to live in any state of the 50 in the union. Will it need to be organised migration, that is what or should be under discussion.

The south is the North American African homeland, although we claim the planet earth and the universe. The south has access to the sea, such as the Carolinas, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, etc. Yes, we must be on land as the original means of production. There may be a need for city states where we are in abundance, such as Brooklyn, Harlem, South side of Chicago, Atlanta.

In many areas of the south we are the majority or near majority, it would not take a great effort to buy the whites out, a reverse gentrification. But what is most important is for us to first have a revolution in consciousness, to detox and recover from our addiction to white supremacy Type II (Dr. Nathan Hare). We cannot live in a nation with reactionary values and behavior, we must rid ourselves of negative conduct, such as expressions of self hatred, jealousy, envy, greed, yes, those tragic flaws that cause the destruction of society.

Even now, throughout the south, North American African politicians, religious leaders and educators are under indictment for improprieties. We want to exercise devil minded behavior that must be outlawed in the "Republic of New Africa." Those who persist in such behavior would be banished back to white America. As we did in Africa, we can have a society with no police and no jails. Our economic system would be based on Gross National Happiness, rather than gross national product. It must be a fair market system rather than free market. There must be a living wage for workers. Under the pain of death or banishment, partner violence, verbal abuse and emotional abuse would be outlawed.

Spirituality would be the order of the day, as opposed to religion. As per gender, unity and equality in diversity would be the law. We must recognize men and women are different beings. Men do not bleed five days per month, nor do they get pregnant. This does not make them unequal, only different. Leadership would be based on knowledge, not gender.

In our foreign relations, Pan Africanism would be our first priority, to have functional unity with our people in Africa and throughout the Americas, or where ever we are throughout the earth and in the universe. We recognize our people from outer space.

We would maintain a symbiotic relationship with the United States of America, for we may need assistance for the next 25 to 50 years, just as the US assisted Israel and shall soon assist the Palestinians. We would most certainly have relations with all nations in the Americas, especially such progressive countries as Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Brazil, but wherever African people are, e.g., Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, Columbia, Guyana, etc.

These matters are for our thinkers and planners to configure. Blacks have been migrating back to the south for years.

Now there are those North American Africans in the south who are in denial about the white man, who imagine they know how to deal with him since they've been doing so for centuries.
We say many of them are in denial, if not simple ignorance. Many of our people in the south are in virtual slavery, mental and physical, ignorant wage slaves who must maintain three minimum wage jobs to survive. Yes, one can live in a mansion for $100,000, but outside the mansion is a hostile environment, steeped in racism and religiosity. Must we repeat the words of Harriet Tubman, "I could have freed more slaves if they had known they were slaves"?

If we are to prevent the Second Civil War, separation is in order, the same that must occur between a husband and wife who have found themselves disagreeable to live with in peace.

Let us move expeditiously toward Nation Time. But we have no desire to be in a nation of reactionary Negroes who want to party and bullshit. Those welcome must desire radical consciousness, spiritual, political, economic and cultural.
