Have you ever heard of Gaspar Yanga, who led a slave revolt and created a community for fugitive slaves and indigenous people in Mexico?

KWAME TURE EXPOSED THE PETTY BOURGEOISIE All-African People's Revolutionary Party organiser Kwame Ture delivered a fiery speech many years ago in Chicago, USA, exposing the treachery and corruption of the African petty bourgeoisie. He denounced wealthy Africans for indulging in luxury and wealth, while most of the people endured poverty, disease and oppression. He added the petty bourgeoisie collaborated with the colonial and imperial powers that had exploited and oppressed Africa for centuries. Ture also criticized wealthy Africans in the United States for being opportunistic and reactionary, because they have exploited the struggle of the African masses to gain power. Ture said they cooperated with the racist and capitalist system that had enslaved and oppressed Africans for centuries. He said the people must rise up without pity and without mercy to crush these 'reactionary pigs,' a term used for those who have resisted liberation via revolution. The revolutionary said this was unavoidable and justified, as part of the global struggle against imperialism and capitalism.

Exactly.

This person explained it perfectly.

It's the logical thing to do to support Palestine (the country) no matter what the Palestinians (the people) think of us (queer Africans) because what we are supporting is: "the end of an occupied country" NOT "whatever opinions a person has".

Tldr: its "occupied country" vs "personal opinion".

This is what the ancestors of Yt people did to my ancestors.😡😡😡 It’s shameful as hell. So much so, that you don’t even want this history taught to your children. FYI, We are teaching this history to our children and grandchildren.

For 400 years of our ancestors’ free labor to build the wealth of this country that you enjoy, We Demand Reparations! Then, when you pay us what you owe us, we want you to leave us the F*ck Alone!
