THE ILLUSION OF INCLUSION! The recent revelations by Clippers owner Donald Sterling that what will my friends think, his friends being the other NBA owners, among others, should remind all of us that Afrikan people in North Amerikkka have never been fully accepted as human beings which is why we were classified as 3/5ths of a person in their constitution. Throughout our history here our wise ones, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, John Henrik Clarke, and many others have told us that those europeans who classify themselves as white are really who they have shown us consistently they are. And so, while we deal daily with the effects of white supremacy, while we must demand, for example, that the NBA move seriously and urgently to make more teams Black owned, we must understand that we are really a still colonized nation within this racist nation and that we must move toward complete liberation and independence. This will only come through an anti-colonial war of national liberation which will lead to a negotiated settlement including a land base and full reparations for past services rendered. Only when we are organized and ready to fight for our rights will we get them. As Marcus Garvey said: UP YOU MIGHTY NATION, YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU WILL!
