In order for the African Community in the United States of America to continue our fight for self-determination and dignity, it is important that we remind ourselves of the nature of the American dynamic.

Essentially, and at the foundation of the American-European dynamic, is the fact that it is made up of many nations who migrated to this country and continued to fight for, and develop their national interest, inside this country. At the same time they maintained their economic, political, cultural, and social relationships with their country of origin.

Written by Anthony Asadullah Samad, Ph.D.

"We" and "The Struggle" and Immobilizing Words Represent Our Resistance

Here is an article by Dr. L. Jean Daniels, PhD, Black Commentator columnist, that is deeply thought-provoking.

I am wondering who's the "we" when some of us speak about Black Americans and what's "the struggle" "we" are engaged in now - assuming that the "we" is different from the "we" of the 1960’s and the "struggle" is different from the struggle for Civil Rights.

In saying "we" Blacks are in "the struggle" here in the United States, are we talking about those Blacks who get up in the morning or evening to arrive at low-paying jobs and who know on Monday that Friday's check is already accounted to pay the utilities or to add to last Friday's check in order to pay the rent?
