Is repatriation the be-all and end-all goal? Like once you repatriate you're done?

So you're suggesting that we should be doing something other than sipping mango juice once we repatriate? :hello:

Sipping mango juice should clearly be PART of the post-repatriation strategy... :hello:

I'm sure there are some Negroes who have repatriated looking for whatever, probably to make a buck or manipulate a situation to make a buck. So no it's not.

for those who do repatriate, what would you think it would be more appropriate to do instead? also, what do you think is the goal of life for an Kmtyw if not repatriation for repatriation's sake?

First, I want to make clear I'm not opposed to folks making money, it's how much they want to make and what they want to do with the money made. I think those that repatriate should be looking to work with that society/culture to better it. For us specifically that means fusing with traditional culture and helping make adjustments/adaptions for today's world. I feel that should be a main goal of a repatriate. Those that don't chose to repatriate hopefully will create spaces wherever they are that allow us to be Kmtyws. I think we all should learn at least one Kmtyw language and follow our spiritual practices wherever we are.

It might sound corny, but create the kind of Kmt that you thought/wish it would be. I can think of places like atlanta, dc, kwk where there is a hub of Kmtyw activity (culture relating to liberation). My goal would be to create that kind of dynamic on the continent. Basically, the same (Kmtyw) stuff we're doing over here minus the krakkker dependency.

It does sound corny, but BlackNificent all the same. BTW, we need reinforcements...here repatriates or I guess you could call them u.s. expatriates will get mad at you for not going to the thanksgiving celebrations... :paranoid::troll:

These sound like BlackCellent goals across the board.

A few good things that come to mind for folks to do after they repatriate:

-Engage in development-type work with local organizations
-Work with local organizations whose goal is to preserve indigenous knowledge/technologies
-Create employment opportunities for other Kmtyws (including those with a desire to repatriate)
-Stick the flag of your former captive country at the bottom of your toilet and use it for "target practice"

@Kindomba, these are all good suggestions, especially the last one

Repatriation makes buying black a lot easier. It makes not paying taxes to the united snakes repressive apparatus a lot easier. It makes learning and thinking in Kmtyw language a lot easier. It makes not having to answer to yurugu or work for them a lot easier. These are some of the most important things I was working on  in united snakes before we repatriated. It makes healing the wounds of enslavement possible since there are exceedingly few micro aggressions to absorb anymore. It allows us as warriors to fulfill our primary duty as prisoners of war -- escape.

Yes I think repatriation in and of itself goes a lot farther than speech listening, rhetoric spouting , dashiki and lapa wearing and  ifa ceremony doing after working all week for yurugu in their corporations or government suppressive apparatus while sending our children to their mind control institutions all day for consciousness falsification.

Talk is cheap. We talk and talk about being Kmtyw. Brothers and sisters put your ass where your mouth is and escape yurugu land.

Escape yourself. If you can't liberate your loved ones, prepare a space in the home land for them and go back for them later. If they don't want to go leave them. Remember Harriet and Marcus.
