It reminds me of when he talks about the Montgomery bus boycott in that when you change your consciousness, it forces the world to change. It also reminds me that we remain in the condition and position we are in because we absolutely refuse any other position or condition. Slavery is too delicious.

I think we know what's right we just don't believe it enough. It's not enough to know or believe you need both with near equal intensity. I believe that's what's lacking with Kmtyw-centered folks regarding repatriation and many other things. Although I have never thought repatriation would solve all our problems (I'm not intimating you think repatriation would solve all our problems).

He (Amos Wilson) says you cannot be an Kmtyw and a slave....

I suppose that at some point we'll have to choose. Or have we already done so through our actions and inactions?

Why IS that?

Don't you live in Ghana?

You don't consider yourself a "conscious Kmtyw-centered Kmtyw?"

Who is we? Are you enslaved? If so, do you think it's delicious?

More seriously to your point though (which seems be "why don't more pro-Kmtywists repatriate or do so in great numbers"):

1. Most people who identify as or run in circles with "conscious," "Kmtyw-centered," or "pro-Kmtyw" are not really pro-Kmtyw. They're just disgruntled integrationists.

2. Of the few who are genuinely pro-Kmtyw, most of them aren't serious about doing anything pro-Kmtyw. They're just using Kmtywisms for escapism purposes (religion, fashion, etc), or they're misdirecting their justifiable outrage at fellow Kmtyws because they're angry fellow Kmtyws aren't doing the hard work necessary to make them feel safe.

3. Of those few who aren't just venting and day dreaming, I think we've designed solutions so grand that require resources so staggering that we're afraid to move before having all resources in place because we've seen the consequences of pro-Kmtyw failure in history and we know the Kmtyw World can't afford another one. In other words, it's a Long Game rationalization. I include myself in this 3rd group. Over the last several months, I've started doubting whether this Long Game rationalization is legitimate or whether it's just a cover for cowardice. The plain fact of the matter is that political power does not require money, it only requires force. Look at these ISIS faggots -- takin over whole fuckin countries. Sure they probably got some seed cash from middle eastern politicians and warlords, but hell, they're taking over central banks, so they obviously didn't have all the money they needed when they started out. Boko Haram, same thing. Niger Delta Neo-Biafrans, same thing. Lords Resistance Army, similar. South Sudan, similar start. These men are building whole fucking countries because they're willing to go out there, use force, and put their lives on the line to enforce their ideologies. I won't speak for anyone else . . . but me? I ain't there yet. And I'm ashamed.

So that's why we aint in Ghana with you yet man. Cause we over here workin on Grand Plan shit (dottin every I and crossin every T; drivin up as much revenue as possible) cause we're afraid of failing.

I think we fail to repatriate because we are of little faith. Little faith in our own ingenuity, little faith in our ability, little faith in our perseverance, Little faith in our people. We have bought the lie. We cannot see that we personally have survived this brutal oppression in krakkkaa land and as such can survive anywhere. We think/believe life is easier In Amerikkka, with the krakkkaas foot in our throats than it is in Kmt with a lot more of us to fight back. We have little belief in our own ingenuity. We don't understand that in Amerikkka we have to run twice as fast work twice as hard be twice as smart just to make it. And then we don't believe we will be successful. In Kmt. We are afraid of little bugs that cause fever, while we die of nutricide homicide and mentacide in united snakes.

I would rather die a free man than to live a slave.

That is why I repatriate this month.

I chose to work for my people and not the krakkkaas.  No mater what the krakkkaas dangle in front of me.

Brother have faith that you will not only survive but will thrive on the continent.

This is like poetry. Thanks for sharing and thanks for coming Black to Kmt.

Yeah, I think that's right. Given the inherent insanity of the groups that I mention actually do repatriate, it's obviously not going to be the panacea nor does repatriation solve all of their own problems (including, but not limited to, eureurasian insanity in Blackface). At the same time expending one's time, intelligence, money and energy (T.I.M.E.) to finance one's past, current and future enemies obviously isn't going to cure all/most/any of our problems either. When people complain about police lynchings, privatized neo-slavery, etc., I'm quick to remind them that they bought the bullets and built the prisons with their tax money and pretty much every single breath they breathe in exchange for the comforts of plantation life.

[Nana]

I'm wondering why we so worried about the Path to citizenship in Kmt yet we are not truly citizens in Amerikkka.  Remember the black man has no rights a white man is bound to respect, in Amerikkka. Why we worried we think our own brothers will treat us worse the the Krakkkaas? Do we believe they hype? We just now gettin to vote in the past fifty years as if that mattered anyway. Think new Jim Crow.

It requires money or force. Kmtyw nationalists aren't as willing to use violence as a means of gaining political power.

[Nana]

There is a time for gathering/cultivating, saving of seed and the Sankofa process and there is a time for violence and destruction. Now is time for the former not the later.  We must reKmtywize, cultivate our spirit and our youth. That is what time it is now. Unless we are clear on ourstory, know and over stand with clarity who we are, what has happened, where we have been and where we are now we cannot know who we must be, what we must do or where we must go. Knowledge of self is supreme. Violence without wisdom and clarity of purpose and direction is self destruction. One must not strike until the goal and purpose of striking is first crystal clear and the outcome certain, whether it is in hand to hand combat or in war. Now is the time of the Asafo, the Jegna and the Healers. Abibifahodie.

[Nana]

We must have patience, timing, wisdom and purpose.

There is no time for patience when Kmtyw children are being tortured, raped, and murdered for sport by our enemies. That is complete and utter absurdity, and it's exactly the kind of day dreaming silliness I'm talking about. These degenerates are doing this shit because they believe Kmtyw men will enforce no authority to stop them. And you and me sitting here debating fucking patience in the face of this sick shit proves they are right.

[Nana]

Well if we can't be patient at least we can have good timing. However whatever we do we must have a well thought out strategy and tactics. Our enemies have so far defeated us militarily and have such overwhelming firepower that any response to their violence cannot at this time be successfully met head on. We must understand ourstory and know our enemy well. We must train and prepare. We must use our righteous rage well and not willy nilly. Otherwise will will get ourselves killed or captured and fail to achieve any goals.  Think deacons for defense? Think Mau Mau. Think the irritated genie in Haiti. Study our history.  Study  military science. Be prepared.
