COULD BIKO PLAN SAVE SOUTH AFRICA? In today's South Africa, White people still hold over two-thirds of the country's wealth, despite making up less than 10 per cent of the population. The economic divide is as bad as it was during apartheid. But this shouldn’t surprise you. Some fifty years ago, anti-apartheid icon Steve Biko warned the wealth gap would remain unless racist economic structures are dismantled. His solution was simple, a combination of state and private enterprise. He wanted the government to run strategic industries like mining and forestry and own land for the benefit of the people. That hasn’t happened. In fact, it’s estimated just 3,5000 individuals own 15 per cent of all wealth in South Africa. Biko railed against racist policies from an early age, which saw him expelled from school. While at university he founded the South African Students Organisation (SASO) to represent the interests of Black students. Later he established the Black Consciousness Movement (BMC) to counter apartheid White propaganda which constantly told Blacks they were inferior. In 1977 Biko was detained by the notorious ‘security’ branch of the apartheid police force. He suffered a brain haemorrhage after being beaten by officers. Instead of taking him to hospital, police transported him to a Pretoria prison. It was a journey of more than 700 kilometres that he endured chained in the back of a pickup truck. Within hours of his arrival, he died. He was just 30 years old. Biko’s shocking death sparked outrage across South Africa and beyond. More than 20,000 people turned up for his funeral in his hometown of King Williams Town. The country was robbed of a future leader who would have played a key role in post-apartheid South Africa. He was born on December 18th 1946, and to mark his birthday we've decided to run this speech. He outlines his plans for a prosperous, fair, South Africa. Could this action plan work today? #SouthAfrica #Wealth #Econony #Division #Apartheid #Racism #SteveBiko

Album Number Four Hundred Ninety One. “Peter Gabriel” is the third solo studio album by the English rock musician #petergabriel, released on 30 May 1980 by #charismarecords. The album, produced by #stevelillywhite, has been acclaimed as Gabriel's artistic breakthrough as a solo artist. AllMusic wrote that it established him as "one of rock's most ambitious, innovative musicians". My copy is of the 1983 #geffenrecords release - GHSP 2035. Building on the experimental sound of his previous self-titled studio album, it saw Gabriel embracing post-punk and new wave with an art rock sensibility. Gabriel also explored more overtly political material with the anti-war song "#gameswithoutfrontiers" (which became a No. 4 hit and remains his joint highest-charting single in the UK) and the anti-apartheid protest song "Biko", which remembered the murdered activist #SteveBiko. In the US, the album was titled Peter Gabriel III. The album is also often referred to as Melt, owing to its cover photograph by #hipgnosis. Some music streaming services currently refer to it as Peter Gabriel 3: Melt. #rockandroll #artrock #postpunk #postprogressive #theeighties https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVjkL6ucBO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Isis Papers by Dr.Frances Cress Welsing • The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors • “Most important, Black males must help one another to understand that they are being led by the dynamic of white supremacy to inflict extreme damage upon themselves, one another and ultimately the Black race. Black males must understand that, contrary to what is said, the war being conducted in urban centers is not against drugs but against Black males- for the purpose of white genetic survival.” • “Mais importante, os homens negros devem ajudar uns aos outros a entender que estão sendo conduzidos pela dinâmica da supremacia branca para infligir danos extremos a si mesmos, uns aos outros e, finalmente, à raça negra. Os homens negros devem entender que, ao contrário do que dizem, a guerra que está sendo travada nos centros urbanos não é contra as drogas, mas contra os homens negros - para fins de sobrevivência da genética branca.” • #francescresswelsing #stevebiko #sheilaswalker #tropicaldiasporarecords #whitesupremacyisterrorism (at Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2rAzGNf9-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Reposted from @mediaoutrage2 Reposted from @amhur75 For nearly 80 years, Belgium ruled the Congo with nearly unprecedented brutality. Between 1885 and 1908 alone, King Leopold II treated the entire Congo like his own personal rubber plantation and subjected workers to mass rape, mutilation, and death, ultimately leaving some 10 million murdered.⁠ ⁠ But in 1960, the Congo finally gained its independence — and it seemed like Patrice Lumumba would be the perfect man to usher in a new chapter for the country. A longtime activist for Congolese independence, Lumumba was a popular choice to become the country's first prime minister. After all, he helped the country win its freedom and boldly spoke out against Belgian brutality. ⁠ ⁠ Despite attracting many supporters, Lumumba also made plenty of enemies — especially Western countries like America who feared his anti-colonialist message. Soon, Belgium and the U.S. collaborated with a Congolese faction in torturing and assassinating Lumumba at the age of just 35 ⁠ Credit By: @realhistoryuncovered ⁠ #drc #congo #patricelumumba #cia #1960s #africa #historyofafrica #africanempowerment #panafrican #africandiaspora #westafrica #eastafrica #afrique #françafrique #knowyourhistory #stevebiko #kwamenkrumah #malcolmx #wakeupafrica #blackfamily #blackfathers #blackandproud #blackwomen #africanwomen #blackman #blackwoman #africandiaspora #Chicago #atlanta #newyork https://www.instagram.com/p/CTM5CRMA6zlgu1wN-GewViInE5NX-hiBO6iSI80/?utm_medium=tumblr

The importance of our minds cannot be underestimated by any measure, as encapsulated in the writings of the late Steve Biko 'The most powerful weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed'. Modern science similarly informs us also of its immense potential, even to the degree of changing our physical form at a molecular/cellular level, thus affecting our moods, feelings and emotions. Little onder the first universal law identifiedin ancient Kemet was 'The Law of Mentalism' - that the mind is the ALL!! Our direct connection to this concept of 'God', or rather that the mind IS 'God'. So like that creative source, we are also capable of creation new realities for ourselves! Under observation in Modern scientific equipment, we find that our thoughts are but synapses of energy bursts - another reference that it is composed of Energy, Energy that can be conserved and transmuted towards other purposes! So what will you use yours to create today? www.bhm.ancestralvoices.co.uk #steve #stevebiko #mind #god #godisgood #concept #feelings #feeling #emotions #emotion #emotionalintelligence #science #energy #creation #synapses #brain_waves #burst #transmutation #africanspiritualitymatters #africanspirituality https://www.instagram.com/p/B3evY6XDnbG/?igshid=f96ni3ufdrd7

For the average African child, the afrocomb represents pain, as parents, guardians and others insist on combing out its natural texture. @fredmartinx is flipping the script by using the comb as a symbol to pay homage to African freedom fighters. In the November issue of @sawubonasaa, he tells us why he chose the likes of #stevebiko, #winniemandela, #kwamenjrumah and #nelsonmandela. Entitled #OrangeBlackAndFreedom, this is a thought-provoking collection that uses the simplest messaging. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsKyqqSAi7u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jmkvij4ysufn

"At the heart of black consciousness is the realisation by blacks that the most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed."
