Race Suicide or Race Uplift?

The Supreme visionary Marcus Garvey challenged Afrikan souls to relinquish defeatist attitudes and to rise into victorious nationhood. The, ‘Oh woe is me’, can’t ever do attitudes were to be purged from the psyche of the stagnant multitudes throughout the world. Garvey vehemently believed in his people and worked tirelessly to re-energise them to their own self-knowing. In this, he both cautioned and challenged Afrikan souls to restore commitment to their own kind:

“Some [Afrikan] leaders have advanced the belief that in another few years the white people will make up their minds to assimilate their [Afrikan] populations; thereby sinking all racial prejudice in the welcoming of the [Afrikan] race into the social companionship of the [alien]. Such leaders further believe that by the amalgamation of [Afrikan] and [alien], a new type will spring up, and that type will become the American and [so-called Caribbean] of the future.

This belief is preposterous. I believe that white men should be white, yellow men should be yellow, and Black men should be Black…The white man of America will not, to any organised extent, assimilate the [Afrikan], because in so doing, he feels that he will be committing racial suicide. This he is not prepared to do…When the [Afrikan] by his own initiative lifts himself from his low state to the highest human standard he will be in a position to stop begging and praying [to others], and demand a place that no individual, race or nation will be able to deny him”.  

Marcus Garvey, this superlative man of vision said unto his people, ‘let the sky and [the Creator] be our limit and eternity our measurement. There is no height to which we cannot climb’. Surely there are important lessons of wisdom to be gleaned from this in the now and in time to come. Marcus Garvey sought eternal victory for an entire people that surely challenges Afrikan souls in the now to duty unto themselves. Know that Marcus Garvey is a powerful spirit force that never gives up on the Afrikan souls of the world. Therefore, with Garvey, the Afrikan is compelled not to give up on self.

The observance of Musa Msimu takes place during the month of so-called August and is a wonderful time to celebrate the mighty example of Marcus Garvey and the Movement that he created led in order for future generations of Afrikans to have their guide for complete freedom and nationhood.
