The Original statue of liberty 🗽 was a Black Women!

Too often, the downfall of a Black man isn't orchestrated solely by outside forces—but by the silent or active participation of his own people. This is the residue of mental colonization: a mindset trained to distrust, diminish, and destroy its own reflections.

Marcus Garvey taught us that a race that can not protect its men, women, and children is already defeated. When we fail to defend our brothers, when we join the chorus of slander, ridicule, or indifference, we are not just harming an individual—we are sabotaging the future of our entire race.

A people who truly understand liberation know that internal accountability must never become public execution. Correct in love, uplift in principle, and always remember: disunity is the weapon of the oppressor.

Europeans attacked black Afrika spiritually first. They brought their foreign religions that demonised our melanin, our names, our languages, our divine spirituality, our traditional weddings, our herbal medicine, our food, our drinks, our attires,our culture and identity. We abandoned who we were because of these foreign religions, and as a result, we became what the Europeans wanted us to be: a fully conquered, defeated, hopeless, defenceless, dominated and dying race of people with no sense of self-love, no self-pride and with no self-belief.

We in fact just became coconut blacks (black on the outside but white in the inside). We are now proud to be associated with Europe and America more than we want to be associated with mother Afrika. We are now proud to invest and donate into white communities while turning blind eyes to black communities. We now proudly embrace European standards of beauty and culture more than finding pride in our natural Afrikan beauty and culture. We now proudly worship white gods in the image of white Europeans instead of having gods in our own black image. We now fluently speak European languages while our Afrikan languages are dying a slow but painful death. We now proudly bow to the European-written black history that started with pain and agony of Afrikans (slavery &colonialism) while our true history started at the founding of the universe, we built greatest civilizations (Kemet & Sudan) and we invented everything while Europeans were living in the cave of Caucas Mountains with no identity. We now proudly embrace the European culture of greed and selfishness instead of embracing Ubuntu wabantu spirit (the spirit of 'I am because we are' ). The list is endless......
