      I find it tragic that those of us who (think) they are doing well esp (bourgeois and rich) in this white terror dominated world, will fight “tooth and nail” against true Afrikan liberation. They would rather destroy the liberation movement than to give up a seat at their master’s filthy destructive table (til this day).
      “Garvey was cognizant that not all Blacks would buy into his program of “do for self” and self-determination. But to be viciously opposed by the NAACP, Black labor leaders, leading churchmen, intellectuals, and almost every black newspaper of note, came as a rude awakening, a searing realization that the struggle for true liberation would set, to the death, Black against Black-fang and claw. In this matter, there are no bloodless roads.” Joseph Gillians via Afrikan-Centered Consciousness Versus the New World Order- Garveyism in the Age of Globalism by Amos N. Wilson

        It is truly unfortunate but it is an eventual manifestation that you will find those from our community who will selfishly adopt and defend the ways and means of our oppressor and as you correctly indicated the NAACP, which was white led, was one of the many organizations who was viciously against Marcus Garvey and the UNIA because of his strong and uncompromising fight for self reliance ,self-determination, economical empowerment and for RACE First. The struggle continues on all fronts and unfortunately against some of own people. Asi
