I’m a Black Afrikan. I seek revolution. I seek Afrikan liberation. I seek self-determination. I seek Black-on-Black love and loyalty. I seek an end to patriarchy. I seek equality between women and men, and the liberation and education of women. I seek communalism and collective progress. I seek an end to capitalism and the rise of an economic practice that never fails to meet human needs. I seek the downfall of religion and the rise of critical and scientific thinking. I desire a human existence not mired in the clouds of greed, decadence or delusion, but rather defined by compassion, clarity and creative progress.
Fully Fighting (Frantz Fanon)
Frantz Fanon said:
The colonized man who writes for his people ought to use the past with the intention of opening the future, as an invitation to action and a basis for hope. But to ensure that hope and to give it form, he must take part in action and throw himself body and soul into the national struggle. You may speak about everything under the sun; but when you decide to speak of that unique thing in man's life that is represented by the fact of opening up new horizons, by bringing light to your own country, and by raising yourself and your people to their feet, then you must collaborate on the physical plane.
