A separate black nation in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, which would sever Florida from the rest of the nation, might sound crazy or at least complicated. On the other hand, according to Christian Davenport, professor of political science at the University of Michigan, its simple and sensible.
Actually, I think that it is fairly easily for African-Americans to form a Black nation within the United States, professor Davenport told David Love of the Atlanta Black Star. There are large sections of the United States that have nothing but Black people in them already. There are cults and militias as well as private corporations that do whatever they want behind their closed doors.
Davenport, author of How Social Movements Die: Repression and Demobilization of the Republic of New Africa, explained that from my time in New York in Chicago, it is clear that organizations like the Nation of Islam occupy decent size areas in American cities. The idea of Black folk coming together thus does not seem that difficult to me.
For the professor, also a faculty associate at the UMs Center for Political Studies, The Republic of New Africa actually had several innovative ways to seek territorial control. One involved something akin to electoral empowerment whereby Blacks would get individuals elected who would, in turn, deputize and otherwise bring in members of the RNA to govern. Another involved something akin to stepping into situations of state failure. Here, the RNA would find locales where the U.S. government has basically stepped out and/or can no longer maintain control. The RNA had the idea of stepping into this vacuum. Now, the difficult part becomes arming that nation in an organized fashion and getting recognition from the United States as well as other nations. This is where the difficulty will come from.
So maybe the separate black nation is not so simple after all. The minute you go aggressive and militaristic, you cannot wind the clock back, the professor told the Atlanta Black Star. Nation-building is incredibly hard to do and it involves diverse tasks.
In the same article, Gen. Babu Omowale, national minister of defense for the Peoples New Black Panther Party and co-founder of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, explained that since the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, weve been constantly attacked by white society and white supremacy. Weve never been left alone, so I think it is important for Black people to arm ourselves.
In the Daily Caller, Eric Owens explored links between Dallas murderer Micah X. Johnson, the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, and black liberation militias.
Victoria Bynum, emeritus professor of history at Texas State University, is the author of The Free State of Jones: Mississippis Longest Civil War, which inspired the current Free State of Jones movie. Bynum told the Star: Clearly, the roots of Black nationalism and separatism are present in the violently white supremacist counter-revolution that destroyed the promise of Reconstruction. Racial segregation, second-class citizenship, a renewed KKK opened the 20th century, setting in motion Black responses that frequently viewed independence and separatism as the only recourse.
Contrary to Bynum, Davenport, Omowale and other radicals, the roots of a separate, segregated black state go back to the Communist Party USA, a Soviet-controlled party with an overwhelmingly white leadership. CPUSA doctrine held that blacks were not real Americans, and as Paul DAmato noted in the International Socialist Review, In 1928, the Comintern declared that Blacks in the U.S. constituted a nation, and they called for self-determination in the Black Belt. The Black Belt was a swath of territory cutting through the South known for its rich, dark soil, in which rural Blacks at that time were concentrated in large numbers.
Likewise, in Communisms African-American Soviet Republic, Paul Kengor charted how in 1930 the Communist International called for creation of a Soviet-directed and controlled Negro Republic among Americas Southern states. Professor Kengor also found that the current Revolutionary Communist Party calls for black Americans to unite into a separate, autonomous republic in the American South, the southern part of the former imperialist United States of America. The decision would be made by a special vote in which only African-Americans would be eligible to participate.
Whether CPUSA or the Revolutionary Communist Party, they never go away, Kengor wrote. They merely lie in wait to exploit the next crisis, whether in the Jim Crow South or in the efforts of Barack Obama and the Wall Street mob to demonize millionaires and billionaires.
Professor Kengor, author of The Communist, also observed that CPUSA organizer Frank Marshall Davis, would advise a Hawaiian adolescent named Barack Obama. In the home stretch of his presidency, black belt apartheid is sure to mount a surge.

Well, four or five states is too much.
But, some separation might be ok.
The big question is, would it be mandatory or voluntary to live in the new BlackLand?
Mandatory.
If not, in 100-150 years our descendants will be experiencing exactly the same unrest we are seeing.
Add in the fact that Blackland will be the Somalia of the Americas.

They already have the cities, they are in ruins, they don’t want to live in the sticks.
I say somewhere between no and hell no.
I say give them their own country, build a wall around it to keep them in, and everyone else out. Within a couple of generations it would be one vast charnel house due to disease, starvation and violence.
Lol they’d starve in six weeks without whitey
How will they eat? If they plan on being separate and independent I plan on my tax dollars,going to the U.S., not a foreign country. Whoops, no welfare for you, or medical care,or education assistance...
Guess I am thinking the whole nation would turn into Detroit. Maybe it wouldn’t. We’d never know as it better not be tried, but they would have slaves inside of five years and would look like Africa.
But this is prolly closer to reality d;^)
And as a PS, izzat John Amos of “Good Times” holding that M1? d:^)
how about A BLACK NATION IN AFRICA......
for the radicals that want a black “nation” here..
of course they dont really want it becuase then they would lose their FREE SHEET..
ebonic mumbojumbo...
why is itthey are the RACISTS,,,,, ??
black this black that .... BS
shape up or ship out...
ONE FROM MANY ...taht is the us melting pot...
dont want to melt...gtf out...
If they want a black country, there are plenty in Africa that could use a regime change.
I guess this means, next time I drive down to Florida, I’ll need to stop for gas, food, and bathrooms in Rowland, NC, then hold it for another 5 hours until I get to Yulee, FL. Because I don’t think it would be safe for me to get off the interstate anywhere in Blackistan.
“Within a couple of generations it would be one vast charnel house due to disease, starvation and violence.”
Weeks.
“Back to Africa movement”. Simply put, the US buys a 100 year lease on a large enclave in an African nation. No problem for them, as Africa is a huge continent. Then the US builds a city with all the trimmings, including water, power, free food and some retail. As well as a big fence to keep the Africans out.
It needs to be nice enough so that black Americans who are unhappy with life in America will want to move there for free. But no American corporation (like Planned Parenthood) will be allowed to set foot there, much less set up shop, as part of the lease agreement.
Half of the enclave will be devoted to prisoners currently in US prisons, except for the most murderous and heinous. Their sentences will be commuted on condition they take citizenship in their new country and never return to the US.
It will be up to those who voluntarily went there, in the other half of the enclave, to determine when and if those convicts can join them in their half.
The voluntary emigrants will have dual citizenship for 3-5 years, then they will become just citizens of their new nation.
They will continue to get free stuff for a limited time before the US discontinues involvement with them at all.
black fecal matter
Old ideas rehashed.
THE FREE STATE OF JONES is a remake of TAPROOTS (1948), and the claim blacks will get five states dates back to WWI when the Kaiser was said to have offered MEXICO a great deal to enter the war on Germany’s side.
Upon winning the following would happen in the USA...
All White Males would have their bank accounts seized and then executed.
All Indians would get their lands back.
Mexico would get their lands in the West back.
Blacks would be given five states for themselves to govern.
Germany would oversee the rest.
On the southern border in 1917, US Cavalry patrols often caught Mexican bandits with a flier stating the above claims.
Been there/done that.
It's called "Liberia" (see: search engine)
