Black is Back Coalition (BIB)

Over the weekend, Africans in New York, Washington D.C., Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Kansas, Texas and Illinois convened in their respective states to adopt the black people’s agenda which consists of a Declaration and 19-points .

Twelve states in all have signed onto the Black Power Agenda (including Florida, Missouri and Alabama) and are organizing Africans throughout their states to the National Black Political Convention. 

Our black people’s Agenda was sparked by the historical failure and betrayal of both white ruling class parties to solve what are considered “black people” problems and the uttered uneasiness the present U.S. presidential candidates evoke in the stomach pits of Africans trapped in the U.S.

African people stuck in the U.S. have come to a consensus: we have our own National Black Political Agenda for Self-Determination and will gather on November 5th and 6th in Washington D.C., just days before the white people’s election on November 8th.

The Black Community Control of Police Working Group of the Black is Back Coalition along with RBG Fridays and several members of the African community held a rally in defense of African resistance on Thursday, Sept 22nd.

The immediate reason for the rally was the police execution and subsequent media slander of slain African resistance fighter Nicholas Glenn. Glenn ambushed and killed at least one cop in West Philly on Friday Sept 16.

So when they killed that twenty-three-year-old boy in Milwaukee last night, it wasn’t some mistake, any more than it was when that white man killed that child in Huntsville, Alabama.

Why did that white man kill the child? Why is there a George Zimmerman? Why do we have the Ku Klux Klan and all those other entities?

Because that is the way this whole entity was created. Because in England and France and European places where you had a  movement from feudal control.

One of the things, that I certainly tried to do on yesterday with this conference was not simply to lay out the fact that we are consolidating this National Black Political Agenda for Self-Determination. Not simply talking about what we’re going to be doing coming forward. But also struggling to place what it is that we’re doing, in some, political context, because obviously, everything that we’re talking about requires struggle against white power, imperialism. And that is important.

But sometimes, imperialism doesn’t come in its own face. In fact, increasingly, over the last two or three generations, it has been extremely difficult for imperialism to step forward in its own face. And because of this, we’ve seen the emergence of what Kwame Nkrumah characterized as neocolonialism.

For two days, August 13th and 14th, Africans from throughout the U.S. convened in Philadelphia at the First Unitarian Church to attend a historic conference. 

This conference was the clearest demonstration yet that the struggle for our liberation has reached a new height.
