KWAME TURE EXPOSED THE PETTY BOURGEOISIE All-African People’s Revolutionary Party organiser Kwame Ture delivered a fiery speech many years ago in Chicago, USA, exposing the treachery and corruption of the African petty bourgeoisie. He denounced wealthy Africans for indulging in luxury and wealth, while most of the people endure poverty, disease and oppression. He added the petty bourgeoisie collaborated with the colonial and imperial powers that had exploited and oppressed Africa for centuries. Ture also criticized wealthy Africans in the United States for being opportunistic and reactionary, because they have exploited the struggle of the African masses to gain power. Ture said they cooperated with the racist and capitalist system that had enslaved and oppressed Africans for centuries. He said the people must rise up without pity and without mercy to crush these ‘reactionary pigs,’ a term used for those who have resisted liberation via revolution. The revolutionary said this was unavoidable and justified, as part of the global struggle against imperialism and capitalism. Let us know what you think of Ture’s remarks. #African #KwameTure #Chicago #USA #Corruption #capitalism #africa #african #__african__motivation #westafrica #eastafrica #northafrica #southafrica #centralafrica #diaspora #africandiaspora #blackhistory #africanhistory #africaforafricans #black #blackhistorymonth #africanculture #africanlove #blackamerican #blackculture #colonialism #darkcontinent #slavery #imperialism

MAKEBA: WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP FIGHTING! South African music icon Miriam Makeba died on this day in 2008 during a performance at a concert in Italy. For decades, her music ruled the African airwaves. Her melodious voice propelled her to the top of the music charts across continent, but it was her political activism against South Africa's apartheid regime that made Miriam Makeba a global icon. Fondly known as Mama Africa, Makeba used her music and fame to put a spotlight on the regime's atrocities against Black people in South Africa. She also worked hard to unite Africans - including in the diaspora - in their struggle against systemic racial oppression. In this clip, Makeba explains why Africans around the world are engaged in the same struggle. She reminds us that diaspora Africans were taken out of Africa, and that - whether we are in Mozambique or Brazil, in Namibia or the US - actually, we are brothers and sisters. The fight for total liberation goes on, and it’s by uniting in our struggle that we’ll achieve our aim. Hit the like button if you share Makeba’s vision!
