Black Radical Expressions

The Black radical tradition is a collection of cultural, intellectual, action-oriented labor aimed at disrupting Whiteness and the world it brings about.

Not your ordinary south african novel. I write for children.

In May 2017, legal scholars gathered at a landmark University of Pretoria symposium entitled “Conquest, Constitutionalism, and Democratic Contestations” to take “seriously the moral, intellectual and political unravelling of post-1994 South African constitutionalism to enquire whether it has been able to respond adequately to the fundamental contradictions generated by slavery, colonisation and apartheid.” Among the participants were the “constitutional abolitionists”—largely from the increasingly influential Azanian tradition of legal jurisprudence—who argued that the historical injustice of settler colonial conquest remains an ongoing ethical exigency. Drawing from the Azanian political tradition and the philosopher Mogobe Ramose’s work on Ubuntu as an African legal philosophy, they pose a wholesale challenge to the philosophical, historical, and cultural bases of the post-apartheid constitution which it deems “conqueror’s law”: a document that ratifies the results of settler colonial wars of dispossession.

papa ramps single-handedly reinvented the novel-form with greyheart, whiteheart and bird-monk, and since then, nobody else has risen to the challenge.

the dialectic of rainbowism is black labour and white enjoyment.

@Snoopy114671777 @HistorySAZAR Didn’t he die for African liberation? Our national anthem says Nkosi Sikelel’i Afrika not South Africa. South Africa is a colonial creation

eff stopped being a party of ideas when mngxitama left in 2015.

I'm not surprised why your incarceration hasn't inspired the level of cosmic rage from black people that you'd expect from a so-called black revolutionary like yourself.

Teacher and composer - Enoch Mankayi Sontonga (c. 1873 – 1905). Sontonga is best known for writing the Xhosa hymn "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" ("God Bless Africa"). The first verse and chorus of "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" was composed in 1897 and it was originally intended to be a school anthem. Some sources say he wrote the tune the same year. It was first sung in public in 1899 at the ordination of Reverend Mboweni, who was the first Tsonga Methodist minister. Later, the Xhosa poet Samuel Mqhayi wrote a further seven verses. The hymn was made popular by the Ohlange Choir and later adopted as an anthem by ANC. Sontonga died on 18 April 1905 of gastroenteritis and a perforated appendix, a common cause of death at the time due to unsafe drinking water. Source: SAHO, Wikipedia

in fact, fela was asked why doesn't he make three-minute radiolength songs and he candidly replied, "you don't ask the same of beethoven when he writes fifty-minute long piano sonatas." 😂
