We Need a Global African Movement

I sense the urgency to reach out to the People in our communities and beyond. We need to band together and spark a major movement. We need the type of movement Brothers and Sisters established back in the days when the Black Power fist was waved while yelling "Power To The People" Why are we so far from this now. Many have become desensitized to the global oppression of Africans. We need many more Brothers and Sisters to be the voice for those who can't speak and march forward for those who are immobilized by fear. We have made some progress since the days of the public lynchings of Africans and due to this partial victory many are blinded by the illusion of freedom but we are not by any means free. I think back to the Trayvon Martin case, a young African man gunned down in cold blood while his killer walks free and many other similar cases which speaks volumes about the illusion of freedom. I look at the statistics of Brothas incarcerated and I feel sadness. Those who conspire against us knew Africans were powerful melanated People so they utilized many mechanism to systematically poison the minds of our People such as bringing dope into the communities. The only way to combat the mechanisms utilized to break us down is to free our minds and Unify with one another. We become our own worst enemy when we refuse to unite and hold each other down. We are also wasting precious time seeking others to rescue us, why are we waiting on a Black leader to carry the torch for our People? If we look to our left and right and see very few leaders we can not become complacent we must begin to carry our own torches and lead ourselves to freedom. I am optimistic that we can rise as a Nation of People but first we must break the mental shackles which enslaves many of our minds.
