Black Unity-The key to black emancipation

Hi!
This is my first blog and hopefully would be the beginning of my life's work. Firstly, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Eric Kwesi Wilson but prefer to go by Kwesi Wilson. Eric is a slave name. I was born and raised in Accra, Ghana, and moved to California in 1995.

For those of you who hate the truth, this site may not be for you. You need to turn to your TV and watch your mind-numbing show - American idol. For those whom I call soldiers ready to fight, I commend you, for wanting to stand up and fight for what is yours.

Unity is strength, it is often said. Black people are not united. Therefore we are weak. Too weak to demand our birthrights, too weak to fight exploitation, too weak to demand for our full loaf and have setttled for a slice and in some cases crumbles. I would first like to examine the cause of our division and the purpose its serves in servitude to white domination, consequently self-anhilating and self pertuating our oppression, and secondly, we would examine how unity can facilitate our complete freedom from the imaginary chains that holds us down.
