Are You Really On Code? #CodeCheck #BlackFirst ✊🏿💯
We say the words but we don’t live it. In the next couple years when the herd starts to thin we’ll see who is on code and who is not.
I've experienced true pan Africanism once. I was in a foreign country and there were only several of us (brothers). We were from America, Canada, South Africa, etc. mostly Americans and a couple of us from the states had lineage elsewhere. We were all tight and we looked out for each other and we hooked each other up first and foremost. There were some sistas and we showed love, and they were tight most of the time. Y'all know women. They'll get into some petty ish sometimes. So some were not as close as others but the brothers? We were rock solid. Traveled as a group and white boys knew if you f*cked with one you got the whole group.
Any cultural differences was not only respected but we wanted to learn. The one thing that helps unite from all over? Music. Pretty much everywhere you go hip hop is big. Manila, Moscow, Mombasa, Mexico City. You may have your own music but you grew up with and like hip hop. And as black men, you have another in common: women. But even if one is on something else, you respect it and they respect you and the rest of the fellas in how they live that lifestyle.
It was beautiful. It was what we envisioned on code, black to be but could never achieve it as a community. That experience gives me hope its achievable. Maybe I won't see it.

You've already seen it ......it works. Respect!✊🏿
It worked in that place and time because, there were (mostly American) white gatekeepers locally who were hating and second, we were all we had.
But it was rare, didn't really see it again in my travels abroad.

What you just explained is exactly why the immigrant groups stick together in the USA. They are in a foreign land often coming from war torn countries and they stick together. When y’all got in a foreign land y’all stuck together because there was an ideological commonality y’all shared.
Even Freedman, ADOS, FBA would do the same thing in a lot of cases. You can put them in a hostile country and put a die hard FBA with 5 die hard Nigerians and I bet in most cases they will work together.
You should get around more it happens here in Amerikkka too(6 zeros platform is an example) it's happening as we speak it's a matter of finding like minded to build with, all of those white people that stormed the capital didn't agree on philosophy/ideology but they got on code when the time came whether their actions were dumb or not and by the way they are at war with people who look like them what's the difference between Russia and Ukraine? Philosophy and ideology but both groups hate Black people.....on the strength of their whiteness. We can and are starting to do the same and unfortunately their are those amongst us who will fight against us but we'll need to get those folks out of the paint to move forward.
