01/13/2008: "Smartest African-Americans wanted African National Socialism"
It is less well known that blacks also have a long history of separatist and “back-to-Africa” movements. Some of these were attempts to escape slavery or second-class citizenship, but others were expressions of black pride and racial nationalism. What they all had in common was the understanding that multi-racialism does not work, and that the best hope for blacks was that they be free to shape their own destiny.
Although Marcus Garvey (1887–1940) was the best known and most influential of the black separatists, several lesser-known men were actually more successful—sometimes remarkably so—in helping American blacks move to Africa or establish black commun- ities in the United States. Today, most blacks see the advantages of remaining within the larger white society—from which, unlike whites, they can withdraw into self-consciously racial groups and organiza- tions whenever they like—but there are still many who would prefer complete separation.
[ The best of all ethnicities recognize this inevitability. ]
