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.”

"...After all it was their own people and Arabs who first captured blacks and sold them into slavery...."

And the Arabs are continuing do so today in Darfur.

Talk about a minority becoming smaller: Black people are 12.3% of the US population, but account for 35% of the abortions. Few are the consolations in hell, but Margaret Sanger must be so, so, SO happy.
