1. When the west says Afrika is the future, Afrikans MUST understand that they're not saying what WE think they are saying.
There is NEED for Political Education and Awareness on Imperialist coded Language & dog whistles. There is A MAJOR GAP leaving us vulnerable.
The REASON
2. Revolutionaries keep sounding alarm especially of late, is because most understand that codes & dog whistles.
This is to say, there's what the white man says, what the black man hears AND; what the white man means and the black man understands & expects. There is a REASON
3. the black man's expectation is never met. It is because to the Imperialist, the subject is a means to an end. A mere tool FOR HIM.
To understand the Imperialist Tongue you MUST understand this, he does not see US at all. We are not people. We are objects. therefore,

5. sounding alarm who are problematic, THEY HAVE cracked the code of this imperialist. YOU may not be able to sense real & present danger which is OK coz our political consciousness is not awakened at the same time but YOU need to ask why for some it is AUTOMATIC to disregard
6. CONCERNS of your Brother or Sister sounding alarm in DEFENCE OF OUR COLLECTIVE. What is this NEED to DEFEND the Oppressor & HIS AGENTS, to downplay the harm they cause? To Project THEIR EVIL ON New & Rising Powers? What are some afraid of acknowledging? What is it about our
7. Past & Present WE fear? WE all know what MOST fear saying out loud coz of what it would mean & what WE MUST DO. Everyday we choose these chains WE subject ourselves to THEIR MERCY. That is ANOTHER of his CODES in maintaining Power & Hold. ALL these things are connected.
When anyone of Afrikan Descent tells YOU, you're OFF CODE, this is part of what they mean.
REMINDER: The Perfect Afrika for the Imperialists is one WITHOUT Afrikans. Anything about Afrika & its future, however THEY say it, whatever THEY do, THIS IS THEIR CODE. #TheResistance
