✊🏾🖤💯🔥 Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) Argued That Nonviolence Doesn’t Work In The U.s. Because The Nation, As An Oppressor, Lacks The “Conscience” Needed For Nonviolence To Appeal To Its Sense Of Morality, Often Acting In Self Interest, Which Led Him To Advocate For Black Power And Self Defense, Believing Violence Was Taught To Black People By The System Itself. He Saw Nonviolence As A Tactic, Not A Universal Principle, And Felt That The U.s. Government’s Brutal History And Self Serving Nature Meant It Wouldn’t Yield To Moral Appeals, Requiring More Militant Approaches Like Self Defense. Angela Davis Connects Arming And Power By Highlighting How State Sanctioned Violence (Police Guns, Prisons) Is Legitimized Power, Contrasting It With Community Self Defense, Which Is Often Criminalized, And Arguing True Power Comes From Collective Demands For Justice, Education, And Systemic Change, Not Just Weapons, Emphasizing That Armed Entities Aren’t The Answer To Complex Social Issues, But Rather New Institutions. She Stresses That “Power Concedes Nothing Without Demand” And True Liberation Involves Dismantling Oppressive Structures, Not Just Confronting Violence With More Violence. When Speaking On The Importance Of An Artist Mirroring Their Times, Abbey Lincoln, Also Known By Her African Names Aminata Moseka, Then Husband Max Roach, With Whom She Collaborated On The Seminal Protest Album We Insist! Freedom Now Suite, Expressed Their Shared Social Values: “I Will Never Again Play Anything That Does Not Have Social Significance. It Is My Duty, The Purpose Of The Artist To Mirror His Times...”. Lincoln Shared These Views, Often Interpreting Only Lyrics She Believed In. #Kwameture #Stokelycarmichael #Angeladavis #Abbeylincoln #Aminatamoseka
