The Pan-Africoon Revolution.

Oooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ahhh, Ahhh, Ahhh, Ahhhhhhhhh ! Coons send me email, I hear Coons quoting books, they're messing up the movement, brothers and sisters, take a look.....At the coon-scious celebrities, black CON-scious hollywood, the white man is the devil, but his camera is all good. To my conscious brothers and sisters, this trophy is for you, a giant watermelon, and a 40 ounce of booze.

Seriously folks, we, are, in bad, shape. The above parody is obviously meant to be humorous, but there are some elements of it that hit the Pan-African bull's eye with great precision and accuracy. The task of reclaiming self-sufficiency and respect, locally, nationally, then internationally is a monumental task. Many of our best and brightest youth in the HBCUs are up to the task of stepping into a clearly pathed path that is tangible. A tangible path consists of things that are made manifest OUTSIDE of books. Diasporan scientists, land owners, finance experts, African politicians, and experts that cross the spectrum of higher learning are out there. More importantly, they are actively asking for our help. However, Pan-African ambition among our youth is being muddied by gurus, shamans, medicine men, and peddlers of useless information. Therefore, those of us who have something real to offer waste inordinate amounts of energy unmasking what is fake, and uniting those who are real. Tonight's topic will be in regard to the frustrations of being a modern-day black nationalist.
