Brother Kwame Nkrumah was a gifted leader and hero amongst Africans and he inspired us into a new dawn, fifty-two years ago.
Nkrumah wasn't about time wasting, because he knew what he wanted and he knew how to bring his African family in unity, fifty-two years ago and this was a man who was so bright and energetic and that's what he made him so loved by his fellow African people and family as a whole.

Having read this Honourable Man's many books - From Africa Must Unite, to Imperialism the stage of Colonialism, to Voice From Conakry.. I cannot belive the pack of lies erected around him to justify the ganstarism of Coup D'etat. There is no point mourning over the past at the expense of the present, but I do hope Ghanaians would again lead the continent on the call for emancipation of the continent from mental slavery.

Note by Me: Not all black men are like Tariq. There are brothers like Denzel, Dr. Ben Carson, and others that don't obsess with this gender war dating nonsense. Many of us brothers don't want to enact manipulation in trying to go out with a woman. Tariq curses women out in public (he won't say these things to white women just sisters, which is cowardly. I wonder why. I guess we know why, because he has Youtube video about how to go out with white women. What kind of House Negro,  bow down to massa stuff is that. I will never date a white woman. Love is Love, but I don't get down like that. I love black sisters period without exception as a black man period. I told you that some of these arm chair so-called "militant" brothers are something else) and he calls women outside their names in public.

Then, he tries to promote Black Power themes. I agree with him in outlining real Black History, but I don't agree with his attitude toward some females (and I disagree with him on other issues). He has other videos demonizing black women too. That's a disgrace since black women are always QUEENS  whether they live in a palace or the ghetto. He isn't an agent, but he's a deciever. I knew something was up, because of his constant use of the N word and his slandering of the  BLACK Sisters. When someone criticizes him, he spazzes out harshly even against females (which makes me very curious). We do wish  that Tariq Nasheed would wake up. I don't believe in disrespecting the brother, but showing correction. A real man promotes building society, loves to respect black women, he does not plot revenge against people (or tries to be some "player." A grown man should be a warrior, a producer, and upright not some player. I don't play game with folks' emotions. I am not player, because I don't play), and he builds communities up excluding demonizing women because of their age (or physical appearance). All people deserve equality, justice, dignity, and respect irrespective of their background.

Tariq is any and everything that is wrong with the black man of the 2000's

He doesnt value or respect a womans mind or her character ... he doesnt teach bm to be leaders or to love and respect and build bw and their communities ... he teaches bm to worship non black women for their looks and the fact that they do whatever they are told and he teaches them how to get off on women especially golddiggers ... he isnt teaching boys to be men ... he is teaching boys to be b___

He is just disgusting, I cant stand him

You ladies are making great points.

I'd like for him to tell that to the 40+ women like Nicole Murphy and Stacy Dash that keep these men droolin'. Not to mention the everyday sistas who are 30+.. 40+.. educated, successful and beating men off with a stick.

I have yet to meet a man who is more concerned about age than attraction and compatibility.

no. that's a chauvinist's perspective.

a woman's value is based on how she values herself, no matter what age she is.

God Bless Kwame Nkrumah, his leadership during his time exemplifies a quality that i have noticed about us Ghanaians...we are unique. We are also conformist..which eventually led to him being ousted. He wasnt a perfect leader by any stretch of the imagination however we wud have been better served for a while under his vision of socialism. The one thing that has perpetuated Western control over Africa is capitalism/globalization..that­s why US was scared of Nkrumah. He was too smart for his time

I Disagree w the Article's Thesis That:

Nixakliel - 09/06/2012 - 07:24

“Contrary to popular opinion, atheism is not a Eurocentric " - “The HISTORICAL and contemporary religiosity [IE: spirituality] of Blacks leads many to 'incorrectly' assume spiritually has been at the center of the Black Movement.”
I've said this before & to-date no-one, including this article, has seriously challenged it w specific facts, let alone disproven it. The modern era of European Hegemony over African / Afro-Asiatic peoples began approx 1450 - 1500ACE [I arguably could go back to the Crusades circa 1000ACE - 1200ACE or the era of the Greco-Roman Empires- but that's unnecesary]. No-one yet has been able to name any significant African / Afro-Asiatic scholar, institution or society that unquestionably advocated atheism, prior to 1500ACE. In fact this article has failed to show that any signicant Black scholar &/or institution espoused atheism prior to circa 1900ACE. The quote by AME Church minister Daniel Payne circa 1830s, IMO was a critique of Euro-centric slave-orientated Christianity, & its blonde-haired blue so-called 'savior' [aka: Jesus] who didn't save anybody, especially Black slaves from ole 'massa' who had that same Blonde-haired / blued-eyed white Jesus guy hangin-up in his churches & homes! IMO: rejecting Euro-centric slave-oriented Christianity is NOT the same is rejecting the God Concept. & Godly principles. Yet by 1900 ACE the Black world had been dominated by Euro-Centric cultural / Economic & military hedgemony for at-least 4 centuries. IMO the only way to prove the non-Euro-centrality of most doctrines / ideologies espoused in the west today- one must show that its roots can be traced back to at-least pre-1500ACE African / Afro-Asiatic cultures.
Though WEB Dubios is certainly due his respect, earlier in his career he had certain bourgeois tendencies, & at one time he seemly wanted a certain amount of so-called 'liberal white' approval [His tenure @ the NAACP was heavily influenced {some would say controlled} by white 'liberal' financiers]. This even led an open [& rather ugly] clash w uncompromising Black Nationalist / Pan-Africanist / non-assimalist leader Marcus Garvey- who was a fore-runner / inspiration for such people as Elijah Muhammed [the NOI] & Malcolm X, the Rastifarians [IE: Bob Marley], etc. Garvey did NOT espouse atheism- he talked about the God of Africa & Africans.

The article talks of the Black Panther Party- which was inspired by Malcolm X, Kwame Toure [aka Stokely Carmichael], along w the 'Deacons of Defense' of MS. The fact that Malcolm was a devout Muslim till the day he died, is beyond question- but some, including myself, may think / have thougt that Bro Kwame Toure was more [personally] 'secularist'. And his politics may have, for tactical reasons, been non 'sectarian' [Pan Africanism in combo w Scientific Socialism]. BUT just this yr I came across an interview w him when he decribed a problem he had w the standard Communist / Socialist - Marxist / Leninist view-point, which was over the God question, as its related to the African freedom struggle. I knew his SNCC organization worked closely w Dr King's SCLC, but he said it went deeper than that, that his 'religous' up-bringing put him at odds w many communists / socialists who pushed not just non-sectarianism [for tactical political reasons]- but in fact ATHEISM, by ridiculing those who held deep personal spiritual beliefs [IE those who personally believed in God] & wanting to impose atheist ideology on his African people when atheism is in fact alien to African culture. Bro Toure' went on to talk about African 'spiritual' traditions conection to the traditional African culture & struggle. I personally heard Bro Toure speak on 2 or 3 ocassions but I never knew he was so 'personally' spiritually inclined until I saw this interview.

[see: www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=xTrLdxiHdC8 ]
Furthermore there's a difference between secular [non-religious] & atheistic [deny the existence of God]- just as there's a difference between a dictator & a tyrant- the two are NOT necessarily the same.

Note by Me: I only disagree with the brother on the age of female part. I am not marrying a teenager. I will marry a grown sister above the age of 18 years old period. Yet, the rest of his words are accurate.

Nothing You've Said Negates My Premise That:

Nixakliel - 09/07/2012 - 09:02

Atheism is just as Euro-Centric as Euro-Christianity [in fact one could argue even more so].
And I say this as one who has a degree in technology- Lets not over-hype the supposed 'virtues' of so-called modern scientific / technological knowledge. First of all so-called modern science is rooted in the knowledge accumulated by ancient African, Afro-Asiatic & Eastern- human cultures. Without that knowledge base to build from there would be no modern science. The modern technology you hype is rooted in the capitalist economic system of exploitation of people, land & resources & the environment. It's a system where people at the bottom live in misery so a few at & near the apex can live in near luxury. It's also been used to make warfare more 'efficiently' destructive.
Case in point: One of the main reasons the 'Old West was Won' by Euro-Americans within a 100 yrs [1803 - 1900] of the Louisiana Purchase from France- was the invention of the repeater-rifle, Gatling-gun, cannon artillery & explosives. These so-called 'great' technological advances in weaponry allowed Euro-Americans to exterminate literally millions of Indigenous peoples & buffalo within about 60yrs from 1840 - 1900 [the most intense period was post Civil War 1870 - 1895]. - Then there's WWI & WWII- The total body count after the smoke cleared on 5 continents from 1914 - 1919 [= 4 -5 yrs] for WWI & 1937 - 1945 [7 - 8yrs] WWII = a combined total of 11 - 13 yrs of modern warfare: 80 - 100 Million DEAD. Meaning that modern science & technology 'efficiently' facilitated the slaughter, within just 10- 15 yrs, of more people than the estimated total death toll for all other previous wars in history- [IE 10,000 - 15,000yrs] COMBINED!!! WOW!!! Now That's Some Real Damned Progress Ain't IT!!!
So the whole driving force for so-called modern science has been the European economic system of capitalist exploitation in combo w Eurocentric concept of 'modern' warfare! The late Bro Kwame Toure' saw this clearly. Yet [Black] atheists who love to worship at the alter of so-called 'modern' science & technology, which when you boil it down past all the pseudo-scientific rhetoric is simply another form of promoting so-called modern [aka Euro-Centric] civilization & culture over traditional African / Afro-Asiatic & Eastern civilization & culture- coveniently ignore this fact. In Fact the glorification of Greco-Roman [= Euro-Centric] culture [including Greco-Roman paganism] is actually thoroughly embedded in the very language of so-called 'modern' science.
And Black atheists need not fool themselves that just because a white guy is an atheist, that excludes him from being just as racist & bigoted as traditional WASP type Euro-Christians of the KKK mode. Case in point- Here at BAR last yr, they did an excellent critique of the late 'new-age' atheist guru 'Chris Hitchens - White Man' shortly after his death... - I'd include new scientific-age atheist guru Sam Harris also. These guys have said some of the most virulently bigotedly alarming statements relative to ALL Muslims [no exceptions] that I've heard- even from the likes of a Jerry Farwell or Pat Robertson!!! Both Harris & Hitchens have made talked about the need to wipe-out all of Islam [NOT Christianity nor Judaism nor even Mormonism]- which how do you go about eradicating 1.7 Billion Muslims in a near continuous belt from the W.Africa's Atlantic coast all the way to Indonesia??? Well Harris' even suggests doing the Duke-Nukem to accomplish the task!!! The fact is- most of the World's Muslims are NOT caucasian looking Arabs! There are simply too many African countries whose populations are over 25% Muslims [& not necessarily Caucasian Arabs either], for any knowledgeable African-conscious person to show any tolerance for such thinking - I don't care if the white guy saying it calls himself an atheist.
Ultimately it does NOT make any damned difference to Africans & peoples of the Global South if their exploiters hyping a Euro-centric World-view &/or acting as agents for white-supremacy call themselves Christians or atheists!

PS: It's amazing to me how supposed intelligent Black Afro-centric people can unquestionably accept the 'theory' of a white racist / white-supremacist of UK elites circa 1850s- that Africans allegedly decended from some form of long extinct ape!!! And then go around boasting that your ancestors were some-form of monkey-man- Because white-people [calling themselves 'scientists'] say so!!! Yet if home-boy from the hood called their momma a monkey- they'd immediately be OFFENDED- because they'd understand clearly-That's an INSULT!!!
I've had this conversation w you once before when you ranted on about Prophet Muhammed's marriage to Aisha, [I think then you even misued the word pederast when you apparently meant pedophille]- but now you're ranting on about it again. The facts are that the marriage between Prophet Muhammed & Aisha was consumated when she was 15 yrs old. So by whom's definition & in what context are you throwing out the pedophille bomb. In most of so-called modern civilized Europe Right NOW- the legal age of sexual consent is 15 yrs old or LESS [in Spain its 13 yrs old]. And in some EU countries just a decade or less ago it was 12 yrs old. Thus if Prophet Muhammed married Aisha in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, France, Demark, Sweden, Iceland, Austria, Germany- indeed most of the EU right NOW TODAY- He could not legally be considered a pedopille, especially w parental consent for the marriage which was indeed granted by Aisha parents. Ironically the only so-called EU country whose legal age of sexual consent is 18 yrs old is Turkey - which is ISLAMIC [& also is in Asia NOT Europe]!!!
