A colonized intellectual is a person raised and educated to a high degree in the ways of the metropolis, in the language of the metropolis, and in the politics and culture of the metropolis. in other words MANY of those present here raised as Americans. but also sometimes domestics in the islands highly Westernized in their thinking.

there are three psychological stages that a colonized intellectual goes through. The first is apprenticeship. This is the stage where the colonized intellect enthusiastically believes the way forward for his people is to adopt metropolitan cultures and 'catch up'. this gives way after some disappointment to a phase of searching for 'authentic' identity of their people. this is the stage that concerns us. When they reach this stage of looking for 'real, authentic _____' many make the sad error of reaching for primitive conceptions that he has been taught (by the metropolis) are authentic expressions of his people.

a dangerous form of this primitivism is what we will call the cosmic cult of Negroism. This vague notion asks us to look back indiscriminately to a mythical, fuzzy conception of the continent Africa, where we were all supposedly in harmony as black men, and whose monolithic culture will offer us unity across borders. this idea is dangerous because of its ultimate aim: to undermine NATIONS. only concrete NATIONS, with BORDERS, LAWS and INSTITUTIONS can effect inter-generational change. The way forward, whatever your politics may be, will not be based on vague, fuzzy global notions of your fellow 'black' or 'Latino' man. the way forward is for NATIONS to crystallize, to embody strong states capable of balancing all the interests and classes composing the state, to form functioning organic political orders between families with shared pasts and shared futures.

so beware this cultural artifact brought to us by THOROUGHLY colonized intellects. pride in the antiquities of the world, including glorious Africa, is a positive thing. celebrating ethnic and racial commonalities is a positive thing. however you are not helping anyone by turning your back on your NATION, how ever that nation may have come to be. the unit of race is too basic and amorphous to build upon or to offer a foundation for your psyche:


ultimately a real tiger does not worry about celebrating his tigritude.

As can be seen
some of whom responded, after their complements
they went right ahead and injected their own
one sided unbalance bias and emotions and that's it. Mind set like those doesn't
contributes to anything tangible much less a nation

Anybody who teaches that the continent Africa or any continent, were all in harmony as black men,
or any other men and monolithic, are misleading those who believed them

supposedly in harmony - right - the reality is the tribes were killing each other off for thousands of years

Beautifully put, Hatero. The part about the cosmic cult of Negroism reminds me of something that I have read before about german and swedish anthropologists discussing about which of the two countries represent the true origin of the nordic people, the swedish claimming stressing the fact that the alpha nordic men were proto-swedish or something like that. Another example is the fact that China's name in the han language (Min Kuo) means "the country of the middle" or the "country of the center", meaning that all the countries on the earth had to pay homage to the chinese emperor and the chinese people. A clearly imperialist agenda, if you asked me.
