The Nigga Concept and the Cultural Oppression of Black People

We as Black people must destroy all racist cultural practices that keep us oppressed.

Hotep!!!

After hundreds of years of legalized slavery, legalized colonialism, legalized apartheid, and legalized segregation in the Afrikan world community; Black people have been left a hurt and an oppressed people. In recent history, Black people have been fighting to hold our oppressors accountable for justice and reparations to help remedy centuries of racial discrimination in the Afrikan world community. Unfortunately, the minds and culture of Black people have been severely damaged by White supremacy and racism. The systems of White supremacy and racism has made Black people go out of our Afrikan minds in America and in the world!!!! This is why independently we also must completely re-educate ourselves in our own history and culture before it’s too late folks!!!!!!!! Black People, when you get a chance, please read Keith Moore’s book, From Pyramids to Projects, It will help us get Afrikan centered in this world!!!!!!! American Slavery and European colonialism removed Black people from our own Afrikan names, our own Afrikan image of God, our own Afrikan languages, our own Afrikan culture, our own Afrikan religion, our own Afrikan interpretation of Al-Islam, our own Afrikan interpretation of Judaism, our own Afrikan interpretation of Christianity, our own our own Afrikan philosophy, our own Afrikan mores, and our own Afrikan folkways!!!! All of this was replaced with a reconstructed racist oppressive Black cultural concept called the nigga. This harmful and backwards mentality, is one of the reasons why our people are not advancing in America and in the world!!! The nigga mentality is being allowed to flourish in the Black community and in the Afrikan world community by a racist power structure. Our racist oppressors, and self hating Black people, have scientifically use this nigga concept in R&B music, in rap music in pop culture, in education, in the Hood, in religion, and in movies as propaganda to make Black people believe that we should be at the lowest realms in America and in the world!!! The nigga concept culturally forces Black people to believe that we can not, and should not, achieve anything in the world. This is why we must do everything in our power to kill the nigga concept now by re-educating ourselves in our own history and re-building a Black revolutionary culture that will help give us a powerful foundation for Black liberation in America and in the world!!!!!!!!!!!
