🌍 @IANSAMAG Go check out @Haki_Kweli_Shakur's article on national liberation and identity if you haven't already.
Are we fighting for true self-determination? Or just labels to call ourselves? 🟩🟥⬛️ Maryam Muhammad
Ados, Fba, Soulaan, Black Amerikan, Afrikan Amerikan?
In his debut piece for lansá, Haki Kweli Shakur dives into the long history of how colonialism, capitalism, and U.S. racial constructs have shaped the way we name ourselves. From the transformation of enslaved Africans into 'Negroes', to the rise of Black Power and New Afrikan nationalism, the essay reveals how every label carries a legacy - but not always liberation.
It's a call to move beyond identity as branding and return to the root of nationhood, struggle, and self-determination.
