As “Proud Americans” we face with courage all obstacles to Individual Freedom and support our nation in its quest for complete Self-Reliance. Black Americans more than any other ethnicity believe in the importance of Equality of Opportunity as our reality has always required a level of Competition that produces twice as much talent and effort to achieve success. Lastly, while it remains unobtainable for most, our community by and large remains committed to the Hard Work that is necessary to achieve The American Dream. These values make us “True, Proud and Real Americans”.
While we have commonality of citizenship with our neighbors, most Black Americans do not share any inherited privilege (particularly none associated with Whiteness) or the federal financial supports afforded to those that are European Eurasia immigrants.
That is a huge difference and disadvantage. But looming even larger is the reality that our non-Black neighbors don’t have to interface with the remnants of a system that supported legal murder, enslavement, forced labor and discrimination dating back to the year 1619.
This is a significant difference between us. An uncomfortable, yet simple truth.
But on the whole our nation is comprised of proud people. Many of our fellow citizens believe that the United States is distinctive, unique and exemplary compared to other nations. They believe our values, political system, and historical development are unique in human history which has destined and entitled us as a nation to play a distinct and positive role on the world stage. Indeed, if America is Exceptional, its’ Black Americans are Extraordinary given our role in the nation’s development and our indisputable influence on world history, society and culture. We are the embodiment of “America’s Best”; and as such we have a responsibility to strengthen our nation and improve the world. The success of both of these is inextricably connected to our acceptance and recognition that humanity originated in Africa; and as Africa was the beginning, its development is the key to humanity’s future.
The embracing of African American as a group identifier was an important step toward the fulfillment of our destiny. Today, more and more Afrikan Americans are embracing the worldwide intellectual movement aimed at encouraging and strengthening bonds of solidarity between all people of African decent. While the current movement is primarily comprised of Blacks, as Africa becomes empirically recognized as the birthplace of humanity and its natural, intellectual, technological and economic resources become essential to world stability; acceptance of the reality that there is only one race will bring peace to the world and prosperity to the planet in a manner that can only be produced by “The Garden of Eden” and “The Mother of Mankind” : Alkebulan.
Just as the African American has soared at an exceptional speed to the heights where competitive opportunity has been provided. As the intentional barriers to economic development and societal stability are torn down, Africa will rapidly rise to assume its place at the center of world stability and life quality.
It will be Afrikan Americans that believe in Economic Repatriation that will lead this effort. We use a “K” rather than a “C” to acknowledge our readiness to embrace our origin. Because we accept and recognize Alkebulan as our Ancestral Home it is important for those of us who can begin returning assets, profits, and capital to our place of origin from abroad. Again, while this effort will initially be lead by Pan-Afrikanists, eventually the human family will embrace the importance of returning wealth that has been stolen or stored overseas.
You can support this movement and do your part to support Economic Repatriation by joining InvestAfrika.org and when appropriate selecting a project or opportunity to participate in. Help us move toward tomorrows’ future today. It’s up to us!
