After the Assassination of Dr.King and Malcom X, Black America sort of waited for another Black Messiah. We really didn’t get that new leadership where the entire culture recognized them.
Tupac came extremely close to filling this void despite not being a political activist (predominately). The other ones that did rise up were too entrenched in their unique ideologies.
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were very convenient sock puppets for The Establishment. Farrakhan was entrenched in what appeared to be radicalism. The Black Panther Party was busted out and entertainers stepped into the void pushing individualism and the glorification of crime and the more darker aspects of the social conditions of Black America that developed in the wounds that harsh and antiblack policies created.
When I imagine what must be done. I kind of see it like the Legend of Zelda: Oracina of Time where Link gotta go collect three stones from each of “race” in the game.
I feel like the Black Messiah will have to placate each of the power brokers in Black America (The Boule, The Sisterhood, The LGBTQ+, The Underground, The People, The Pan-Africans, The Black Nationalists) impartially.
Everyone copies BAs, if we all get this line dance together, other groups will begin to do the same in their respective spheres.
Imagine multiple fires breaking out globally with only a few firemen to manage it. I’m not talking physical but ideological fires rooted in deconstructing and dismantling colonial societies and hyper focused on nation building for the modern world.
Then true alliances and bridges can be forged.
Their greatest fear will manifest. The Fear of Retribution but for us it will be The Reclaimations globally
The Black Messiah moves through these power structures without being owned by them if that makes sense. Gathering stones from each community.
Things have changed and BA are basically super anarchist. It’s embedded in us to constantly evolve and morph. We are like water. But water can turn into ice.
The Black Messiah is out there and honestly I don’t believe it’s a singular entity. Maybe it’s an infrastructure this go around. But the empire dying breathes are being heard globally. I truly believe it’s an awareness. No centralizations like last time. You can’t assassinate 1000 Black Messiah it’ll be like whack a mole
Brick by brick
