By Andile Mngxitama My biggest fear is the capacity of anti blackness to assimilate resistance to itself and render it its tool of oppression. That’s why the language of Black First Land First (BLF) is so clear. It can’t be assimilated into oppression, hence we get banned. The knee on George Floyd‘s neck is symbolic …
By Andile Mngxitama They have started with breaking down the singularity of blackness. I have seen posts about LGBTI Lives Matter, Women’s Lives Matter, and Coloured Lives Matter. I’ve seen attempts to shift the burden of responsibility to fellow blacks with insertions of black on black transgressions. I’ve also heard bizarre things like Black Lives …
By Andile Mngxitama Karl Marx was a racist colonialist. Marxism is anti black. Marx and Marxism have NOTHING to offer blacks by way of understanding and organizing for black liberation. The black defenders of Marx aren’t keen to defend ‘die ou baas’ either. Anyway they are killing us not because we are workers; they are …
Collins Khosa By Andile Mngxitama Some of us have been complaining that the brand of feminism coming from the University of Cape Town (UCT) and the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) is liberal feminism and its job is to demonize the black man. We have raised our voices when black women joined hands with white …
“We in Afrika are not capitalists nor are we Marxists. We are neither Fabian socialists nor Peoples’ Democrat. We are essentially Pan Africanists, ideologically immune and very rich in heritage. We do not need foreign doctrines and government systems to boost up our personality” – The Afrikanist, 1965.
Former South African Airways (SAA) board chairperson, Ms Dudu Myeni By Andile Mngxitama The people who were “multiplying” Winnie Mandela with beautiful doeks, seem not to see that another strong black woman is under attack from the same people who sought to destroy our icon Winnie. The open lynching of Dudu Myeni by white racists …
By Andile Mngxitama To continue in peace white monopoly capital (WMC) creates a fake opposition to itself. This opposition pretends to address the concerns of the people which in reality is mere lip service. Dr Ayyadurai Shiva calls this fake opposition, the not so obvious establishment. Don’t listen to what it says, just look at …
By Andile Mngxitama On 25 May 2020, I went live on my Facebook page and engaged on the colonial border question. The question of whether to open (as suggested by Julius Malema) or to close (as argued by Herman Mashaba) the borders, entails two sides of the same white monopoly capital (WMC) coin. Malema says …
By Andile Mngxitama On 24 May 2020 we went live on the Blacks Can’t Be Racist Facebook page and debated the topic of Christianity and colonialism/decoloniality. We canvassed many vexed questions flowing from my essay “Blacks Can’t Be Racist“ including: how was Christianity introduced to South Africa (SA) and what was the purpose of that; can …
By Andile Mngxitama How was Christianity introduced to South Africa (SA)? What was the purpose? In Blacks Can’t Be Racist I provide an historical account of how Christianity was introduced in SA as part of the colonial project that inaugurated a cultural genocide. Christianity and western education are the terrible twins colonialism. Tomorrow (24 May …
