I mean, That would require some Real Work Ethics and Intelligence on their part!
Quote:Omowale was speaking in an interview set to air Sunday night on this reporter’s talk radio program, “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and News Talk 990 AM in Philadelphia.
Omowale used the interview to claim five states as belonging to the “Black Nation”: Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia.
Quote:“We want freedom. We want the power to practice self-determination, and to determine the destiny of our community and THE BLACK NATION.”

There have been Black Separatists ever since I can remember, always wanting those same states. Not gonna happen, not now, not ever. We tried that once before, with all of those states mentioned and a few more trying to break away, and it precipitated the bloodiest war to ever occur on American soil. This wouldn't be any different. You try to escape Uncle Sam, he takes a pretty dim view of that and beats you until he gets you herded back into the Big House. Furthermore, that plan entirely cuts Florida off from the rest of the US, and the government isn't going to go for that, even if they were willing to part with the states mentioned.
There is no "Black Nation", not even in Africa. There are tribes, but no nation, despite the Canadian preference for labeling Indian tribes as "nations".
All that bullshit about "owing" black folks and "reparations" is just that - bullshit. I don't owe them anything at all, as I've never borrowed anything from them nor have I made them any promises. if they want their fabled "40 acres and a mule", they can take that up with General Sherman, who DID make that promise to a small, select group of slaves on a South Carolina island. If they want his address to take it up with him, I'll see if I can find where he is buried for them, but that's the extent of it. It was general Sherman who made the promise, not me, and not the US government. We're out of that particular loop or obligation.
They can take it up with Sherman.
Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
