Views the U.S. as a nation rife with racism and oppression of blacks Seeks to establish an independent black nation in the southeastern United States Demands reparations payments for slavery

The Malcolm X Grassroots Movement (MXGM) describes itself as an organization of “Afrikans in America,” rather than “African Americans,” because it does not view black people in the United States as true Americans but rather as the descendants of forcibly transplanted Africans -- descendants whose very presence in North America is nothing more than an unfortunate legacy of slavery. In much of its literature MXGM makes reference to “amerikkka,” whose lower-case spelling connotes contempt and disregard, and whose triple k’s signify the nation’s allegedly irredeemable racism as embodied in the Ku Klux Klan. Vowing “to defend the human rights of our [black] people and promote self-determination in our community,” MXGM charges that “the collective institutions of white-supremacy, patriarchy and capitalism have been at the root of our [black] people's oppression.”

To advance the “struggle for the liberation of the New Afrikan Nation -- By Any Means Necessary,” MXGM’s Free the Land campaign seeks to form an “independent Black Nation on land in north amerikkka.” This proposed entity would be situated in the region that “is primarily known as South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, as well as other areas of what is now called the Black-Belt South, where Afrikan people are in the majority or have a historical/economical/socio-cultural relationship to [sic].” The New Afrikan Nation would have a communist economy where “the major means of production and trade” were placed “in the trust of the state.” In addition, MXGM demands “reparations, or repayment for four hundred years of slavery, colonialism and oppression of our people in the United States of America.”

They should be yelling at the Brits, anyway. They're the ones that brought them here in the first place.


AND the Dutch. AND the French. AND the black tribal chiefs in Africa who sold them to the "evil white patriarchal colonialists" in the first place.

It just goes to show the absurdity of maintaining quarrels from centuries ago. If everyone did that, the oceans would be awash with blood.

No reparations, ship them to Liberia, every damn one of them, (including the articulate ones). The reason they spell it Afrika is because of ebonics.

Step One: Give them northern Mexico (This will solve many problems.)

Step Two: Re-locate those African-Americans who want a nation of their own to this new Afro-Mex Nation.

Step Three: Give each $1.00.

Step Four: Inform Bill Clinton the position of President is available in this new state.

Step Five: Extend the height of the proposed border fence by six feet.

"They already have one. It's called "Atlanta."

I lived in Atlanta during the 90's. The city is amazing in that the mayor is black. The city council is black. The police chief is black. The fire chief is black. Anybody wielding any official city power is black.

The Atlanta Journal and Constitution will put a racial spin on anything even if one does not exist. There is basically free medical care since the city owns and operates Grady Memorial Hospital (consistently the single largest outlay in the city budget).

Yet if you are white they will look you straight in the eye and claim the city is racist. The only good thing the city had going for it when I left was Neil Boortz.

This would be a quick route to genocide against them.

Don;t forget to tell Hillary she can be queen, but she's got to go with Bill.

All americans are two or three generations from relatives living in another country

Not all of us. 5th gen Texan, 6th gen American.

Their little society would implode fast. Just look at East St. Louis. It was supposed to be the first model black city. These days it might as well be Compton or Harlam. Heck, it's probably worse.

I believe that Ellesmere Island has a very low indigenous population, and is quite large enough for every African-American who wishes to form this new nation to have a full quarter section of land.

Discussions with the government of Canada and of Nunavut would be interesting, to say the least.

I hope these guys have good patience, because they're in for a loooooooong wait.

These pampered whiny racists wouldn't survive a month in a country run by blacks, devoid of the white gift shop dollars.

Long time ago. Also, who cares? Too bad, but the entire continent seems to be a collosal (sp?) mess.

Actually, this is an old Communist Party demand from the 1930s; they wanted a "black homeland" in the Deep South.

Actually, I have a hard time spelling Zimbabwe! I have to use Auto-Correct all the time.

This would not be able to survive except for involuntary donations from the rest of the country.
Left on its own, it would degenerate into fighting and poverty.

This was tried in Mississippi back in the early 70's, group was called the Republic of New Africa under the "leadership" of Omari Obedele. Tried to seize a piece of property near Clinton. Ended in a gunfight. The Lt. Louis B. Skinner Training Academy in Jackson is named after the policeman who was killed in this confrontation.

The revolution didn't work then, it won't work now...
