Fukk your corny debates
The term originates from the 5% Nation to describe their ideology.Which definition?There can be two.. the 5 percent who are woke through self discovery trying to awaken the 85 or just generally understanding or knowledge of real black history, black empowerment/pride & love. That's my vague understanding of it through what I've picked up on
It has been adopted to describe a general understanding of black history and black empowerment by some, but that is vague like you said and can be subjective.
You just said you had a vague understanding of a term used by black people born of collective black experience, yet you described the coli as being compromised "predominantly of black people who have knowledge of self."
I'm not sure why you insist on throwing around terms that are restricted to black internal dialogue, such as "nikka," "uncle tom," "knowledge of self" "black love," and "woke" (sidenote: I hate that term) so casually and loosely.
You can be aware of systemic racial oppression and even fight to end it without trying to act and speak as if you understand black experience on a personal level. I guess you are aware of your white privilege like you said, but in a smug elitist wannabe white savior way. You're not content with just being against white supremacy. You feel you are entitled to acceptance and being a part of black internal discussion that you could never fathom. That's white privilege.
