What is the African Manifesto

African Manifesto

The word African specifically relates to the indigenous people of the African continent and their descents in the Diaspora ( Caribbean , Americas , Arabia , etc). The race-nationality model such as that currently employed by African-American, African-Brazilian and African-Caribbean communities more accurately describes the identity whilst fully articulating the history and geopolitical reality.

The miscellaneous usage of the label 'Black' within this site reflects its contemporary use as a means to denote a specific

sociocultural and political context. It is recognized as a colloquial term that was fashioned as a reactionary concept to derogatory racial epithets in the 1960's. It is offensive when used as a racial classification code word to denote African people. Other such denigrating terminology when made in reference to African culture, heritage or identity are 'Tribe', 'Sub-Saharan Africa', or 'black Africa '.

Corporations and Countries Complicit in Ripping off Africa

boko In the past 50 years, more money has illegally left Africa than the amount of money received in aid, and the private sector is mostly to blame. Corporations and organised crime rings have channelled US$1-trillion away from the host countries in Africa where they operate, using a range of tax-cheating mechanisms known as illicit financial flows. This money is defined as money illegally earned, transferred or used, and the biggest culprits of the practice are multinational corporations operating in Africa, mainly in the extractives industry. Sub-Saharan Africa loses about US$50-billion a year, or 5.5% of gross domestic product, through illicit financial flows.

Demobilized in the USA: Why There Is No Massive Antiwar Movement

libertyThere was the old American lefty paper, the Guardian, and the Village Voice, which beat the Sixties into the world, and its later imitators like the Boston Phoenix. There was Liberation News Service, the Rat in New York, the Great Speckled Bird in Atlanta, the Old Mole in Boston, the distinctly psychedelic Chicago Seed, Leviathan, Viet-Report, and the L.A. Free Press, as well as that Texas paper whose name I long ago forgot that was partial to armadillo cartoons.
