First of all African American is not appropriate for black people in America
Neither is the words Black man or Black woman in my opinion and here is
Why.
We placed many phone calls to Washington some years ago
The questions we were asking were in our opinion was
Fair.We asked before the beginning of the Vietnam war how much financial interest did black people have in south or north Viet Nam. we asked the same question about desert storm we was told to hold,8 times, redirected, stalled, referred to someone else,
Hung up on. And finally cussed out and hung up on

It stands to reason that if we as black people
Were already marching in America in A civil rights
Movement for the right to be treated like a civilized
Human being let alone an American at the time of the Viet Nam conflict and we had no interest as a black collective in the region, why were we there

Many soldiers coming home told the same story
The Viet Cong were shocked they couldn’t understand why
Were black people in their land under the American Banner?
Trying to kill other people of color, after the treatment they had recieved from thier enslaver
Forfathers.

One soldier told the story of attempting to shoot, a Viet Cong he had
Him in the crosses of his rifle, but something wasn’t right, he didn't feel right
Before shooting the Viet Cong soldier, he decided to turn around and look
Behind him he saw another Viet Cong soldier pointing a rifle at him.
When he lowered his rifle so did the other Viet Cong soldier then the Viet Cong
Soldier turned and walked into the woods he really did not want to kill another
person of color.


If I was an American in the beginning, I would not have marched in a civil
Rights movement for the right to be treated like a civilized human being
Let alone an American.

No amendments to the constitution would have been needed to be added
To make me think I was an American if I was one.

Americans have a voice in this country not Afro-Americans or Black people
We just think we do.


The largest melanin producing people on this continent already have a culture
Of their own they have been led to believe that all black people came here as
Slaves that is one of the biggest lies ever told

The majority of black people on this continent were already here we shared the
Land with the so called (Indians) which were given the label native –American
While Africans, Africa, and all Black people were being written out of history.

We think that because we are allowed to vote and run for office in another nations
Political game that we are Afro- American and have American rights.
Playing foof ball, basket ball, golf, tennis and staring in movies dont give us
equal footing with Americans.

We are just along for the ride, and as long as we are connected to the following American system: economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics,
sex, religion, and war, we will never be able to act collectively as a people.
We must disconnect from this global white supremacy system (racism)


Our identity as a people cannot be settled on until we connect collectively to our
Own culture and historical roots.
And perform a collective embracement of the same.

The more education we get in American schools and universities, the further away
We get from our own culture and identity as a people, we were first nogro’s, nigra’s
Coloreds, Blacks, African American, and now Afro-American

We have not stopped to think that as long as we allow someone else to put their
Way of thinking and doing things in our head other than our own ancestors and
Forefathers or ourselves.

We will continue to have someone else’s consciousness in our brain, and as a result of this we have someone elses
language, style of dress, tone of voice, self-hate,
Mate in our beds, hair, nails, and soon our souls.

We must come into the knowledge of self and our own culture we must educate
Our own children in our own schools learn about and pray to our own God’s
And in the words of the famous author and lecturer Dr. John Henrik Clarke

BEFORE THE PAN AFRICAN CONFRENCE IN REGARDS TO AFRICAN
AMERICAN, AFRO-AMERICAN, BLACK ETC...

Until we have a Black leader stand up in public and pray to a Black God, Black
People in America are going no where.
