Here is another thing folks like
@CHICAGO and other not REALLY knowing Black history, who view Tariq as some sort of source and question Kamala’s blackness is their clear lack of understanding of what the climate was between African-Americans and foreign Blacks back in the 60s and 70s.
there was a CLEAR understanding between African-Americans and foreign blacks that fighting colonialism and segregation were one and the same. Mind you…it was the African American collective in particular who understood that the principals to both the American desegregation and anti colonialist movements were tied and bound to each other and were viewed as one and the same. At least in activist New York, Chicago, Detroit, Oakland and other major Black cities. You literally had J Edgar Hoover enacting COUNTELPRO on Black owned bookstores throughout Black cities in United States during the 70s on the premise of “locate and identify black extremist and/or African-type bookstores in its territory and open separate discreet investigations on each to determine if it is extremist in nature.”
The Late Amos Wilson said it best when he said
That was understood by people like my dad, an African activist immigrant. That was understood by people like Kamala father, a black Jamaican. That was also understood by some Indians like Kamala‘s mother. Understood by Trinidadian (My dad's other homie) Tony Martin. Understood by John Henrik Clark.
Sorry to tell you, you’re
not going to hear that from:
- buffoons like Tariq
- Most Caribbean immigrants
- Most African immigrants
- Most Black Americans
What this site, Twitter, and my interactions with most Black folk makes painfully clear is that many of you
never cared enough about Black people and our history to understand this to the point that someone like Kamala‘s father............seems awkward to you.
who are you ?
