“Africologists” Will Snitch on You

“Cultural nationalists” -- including those that call themselves Africologists -- “don’t want to change the world; they want to change how they can move in it,” said activist Kashara White, speaking at an all-day conference on the life and work of Black Panther co-founder Huey Newton, at Temple University, in Philadelphia. “Their Black nationalism is not Huey’s Black nationalism,” said White, who majored in African American Studies. “They want money” and “a positive relationship to capitalism. They will snitch on you” to the white authorities.
