Thanks Eerie. Marcus Garvey is not very well known outside of the Black community nowadays. He is also less well known in the African American community than he is in the Jamaican community nowadays (although that was not always the case) of which he was a member yet he is easily the equivalent of Martin Luther King Jr. or Malcom X. Why? Because he did not preach pacifism, integration and religious faith. He was the Jamaican equivalent of Emmet Fox in that he simply said if Black people understood what they really were they'd make no excuse for their conditions. He preached individuality and Black enterprise. He also advocated that if White people didn't care for Blacks why should Blacks try to integrate? He advocated and tried to arrange a mass Exodus back to Africa in the 1920s.

 

Mainstream media labeled him a flamboyant con artist and buffoon. His true merit has yet to be recognized. Pacifism and racism are safe in the eyes of the controllers. They can be dealt with. The moment Martin Luther King Jr. spoke out against Blacks being sent to kill brown and yellow Asians in a similar situation to Blacks in the United States he was assasinated by a FBI plant. The christianity and pacifism of his earlier speeches were manageable. Malcolm X was controversial yet acceptable when he preached Black Supremacy and even survivalism. Once he traveled and was converted to true universal Islam (not "Black Muslim") he preached that the problem was not racism it was the racist policies of the U.S. government. He began to reach out peacefully and cooperatively to Black and Brown people everywhere to "internet". Then he was also assasinated by government plants pretending to be Black Muslims. And so it goes. The truth of the matter is "One Blood, One Love."
