FROLINAN’S NATIONAL STRATEGY

Abstract: In this paper my thesis is a prescriptive one. It is a "Theory and Practice to Break the Chains of National Oppression" that represents an application of Dr. Amos Wilson’s Afrikan Liberation psychology teachings and his “Blueprint for Black Power” reclamation of Black self-determination paradigm. I argue that because the masses of New Afrikan* people live under “de facto colonization and third world nation status”, with strategic implementation of a New Afrikan revolutionary theoretical framework and program of decolonization, based on a Nation-within-a-Nation consciousness, commitment and conduct, the New Afrikan Independence Movement can be pushed forward towards our ultimate objective of national independence. Within the context of the aforementioned notions i.e., colonization and nation-within-a-nation, a “National Program of Decolonization” can be implemented and propagated throughout New Afrikan (Black) communities across the United States that will positively reflect and impact the cultural, political, socioeconomic and moral needs of the masses of New Afrikan people and thus, serve as a template for present and future New Afrikan Education and Nation-building paradigms and praxis into the 21st century.

“The Afrikan American Community as a de facto Third World Nation”

(Wilson, Blueprint for Black Power 1998, pg. 507-509)

Dr. Wilson’s Black “National Debt” Concept “…Many Problems exhibited by the Afrikan American Community reflect more its inadequate economic organization and management as a nation than its outright poverty or impoverishment of human resources…” pg. 508

Things that can be traced back to us as a Nation with a disorganized economy

Inadequate education, recreationand socialization institutions

Lack of employment opportunities Family instability and disruption Inadequate housing Anti-social and criminal behavior Drug addiction premature death and disease

“A set up for exploitation and colonization by stronger

nations”

Afrikans in America as a de facto Nation-within-a-Nation

7

In his Nation-within-a-Nation chapter Dr. Amos Wilson seem to be saying Afrikans in America are a politically disenfranchised, economically exploited, socially degraded, and alien culture dominated Nation-within-a-Nation, in large part, borne to its lack of a Afrikan Nationhood consciousness, commitment and conduct. At one juncture he makes this point by saying: “except for its mainly second-tier alien employment status, its cultural entertainment contributions to the American market economy, its role as a mass consumer market for White American manufactured products and services, its full-spectrum participation in and integration into American society is negligible.” (Wilson, Blueprint for Black Power 1998, pg. 504)

Some History of the Afrikan in America “Nation-within-a-Nation Concept”

In his essay “How Black Awakening in Capitalist America laid the foundation for a New Internal Colonialism Theory” Pinderhughes states the following;

“There is a 180-year-old tradition of black activists viewing African America as a "nation with a nation." The slogan is notable in the national black convention movement's first call to unite in 1830, as it responded to the program against the blacks of Cincinnati in 1830. Martin Delany utilized it in his colonization appeals. In 1853, Frederick Douglass embraced the formulation in his call to black national consciousness. Cyril Briggs employed it in his Amsterdam News assessment of the contradiction between the African American condition and President Wilson's World War I peace proposals. And it was the title of W.E.B. Du Bois's call in 1935 to sidestep Jim Crow segregation during the Great Depression with a cooperative economic program.” (Outline and emphasis of Mines)

“A National Committee or Council of Leaders”

10

In Blueprint for Black Power, based on Dr. Chancellor Williams “A Master Plan /next slide”, Dr. Amos Wilson calls for “A National Committee or Council of Leaders” he says member organizations should be unequivocally Afrocentric in composition. He adds further “They should avoid like a plague the significant influence in or the leadership of their organization by persons tied to the Democratic or Republican parties, Marxist groups, proselytizing or overzealous religious groups, Eurocentric socialist and assimilationist” Blueprint for Black Power, pg. 55, Sept. 2000 [emphasis mines]

The pathogenesis of the present day ill-condition of the masses of New Afrikan (Black) people and community inside the U.S. can be, in large part summarized, as a combination of: 1. disunity,2. dependency,3. fear,4. ahistorification,5. a lack of vision,6. politico-economic disorganization, and most importantly, the all consuming7. "underdevelopment" of our state of mind , will and intent as a Nation of

MUST TAKE UP WHERE WE WERE DEFEATED”

…without this common national consciousnessand perception of our existence, based on history, our practice will continue to be confused and chaotic, without the historical continuity which serves to give practical guidance to our struggle and movement on the road to independence…

Frolinan’s initial objective is to evolve a united strategy and direction amongst the many New Afrikan nationalist formations / organizations / movements of local, regional and national significance. Once this has been achieved, the second objective will be to implement a transitional program for New Afrikan liberation whereby we will strategically demand and tactically secure control of the socioeconomic and political institutions of the urban and rural areas where New Afrikan people comprise the majority by pointing our economic decisions as a Nation-within-a-Nation.

To Summarize with remarks from Dr. Wilson

“The actual empowerment of Black people under the banner of Black nationalism cannot occur as long as the two main ingredients necessary for power-definition and organization-are missing or underdeveloped” (Wilson, Blueprint for Black Power 1998, pg. 855)

“Even if Black Nationalist motives and purpose were perfectly defined and matched, Black Power would still prove elusive without organizational appropriateness and a sufficiency of human and material resources” (Wilson, Blueprint for Black Power 1998, pg. 856)
