“Pan-Africanist ideals of African unity unpreceded by directional aspects of the foregrounding paradigm of sovereignism and ideological lensing for the building of Black Power, makes Pan-Africanism a still born child that we cannot continue agonizing ourselves with, carrying around instead of burying. What am I saying? I’m putting it to y’all that Pan-Africanism is a non-starter philosophy. Having been conceptualized by Marxists, Christians, Atheists and Agnostics points to a harzard of us landing on a destiny that is relative to its paradigmatic dislocation-compromised from inception, intellectual DNA.
That’s why within the Pan-Africanist ideological framework a latitude is given for Pan-Africanist Marxists, Pan-Africanist Christians, Pan-Africanist Muslims, Pan-Africanist Jews, Pan-Africanist non-Africans like Arabs and East Indians…
This is the still born child we have been carrying around for so long. Let’s bury it and give birth to a an epistemology of Afrikan liberation that gives the impetus for the building of Black Power as our struggle’s output end, and not the coulourless humanistic world of deceit”

I love what you said, esp the “human” ting. Wi fi lef dis “human” foolishness.
Ex: I prefer to see white terror domination as de-Afrikanization n Black-rinsing, rather than “dehumanizing”. Humanity mumbo jumbo leaves room for integrationism

This is gonna be a great discussion that will lead to some long term, generational changes.

Brother, mine is simply an honest reading of history. What came to be coined ‘Pan-Africanism’ had a conceptual framework that guided those who coined the term. Pan-Africanism (what was in history called such) did not predate Abrahamism, Marxism and other eurasian ideologies, doctrines, theories etc. Stretching the term backwards in history, separating the term from the philosophical outlook that formed the basis of thought that went into conceptualizing for it (Pan-Africanism) is to really de-historicize the term and falsify history. You can’t take from the Afrikan history incidents of the show of Afrikan unity and ascribe that to Pan-Africanism. Our Ancestors were not Pan-Africanists. Pan-Africanism does not simply mean Afrikan unity, it has attendant intellectual baggage of dislocation that pervaded the thoughts of those who started, in history, a movement that they called Pan-Africanism. African Marxist elites, they were. And they called themselves Pan-Africanists. That’s a historical fact. The rest can really be wishology!

Facts, which is why i dropped that compromising stance a while ago.. it rest in comfort with compromise … many of our people think Pan-Africanism has a monopoly on African Unity and it doesn’t at all … and its not the way of our ancient uncompromising Ancestors unified because our ancient uncompromising ancestors didnt deal in foriegn bases (build on foreign things) or a passive approach/allow <Tumba Nza> .. Pan-Africanism is only coachable in its inceptional reality which is compromise … not in reaching, remixed definitions or new chronological wishes… people often indulge in dishonesty/lazy contextual cherry picking to defend Pan-Africanism,, when its obvious that pan Africanism is Incorrect
