Stop White Nationalist Violence! Reparations Now! (9-18-2025)
In this period of escalating colonial violence against African people in the U.S. and around the world, the Uhuru Solidarity Movement reaffirms our unconditional solidarity with the right of African people to self-determination, national liberation, and reparations.
The September 11, 2025 assassination of Charlie Kirk sparked an upsurge of discussion by U.S. media pundits about “political violence” within the U.S. But the truth is that the U.S. itself was built on violence. The wealth and power of the U.S., Europe, and the white population as a whole were founded on the enslavement of African people and the genocide of Indigenous people.
Kirk’s assassination, along with the recent shootings of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, exposes the deepening crisis of the colonial-capitalist system, where the “political violence” normally reserved for African and Indigenous people is now spilling into the contest between contending sectors of the white ruling class.
Chairman Omali Yeshitela has summed up that political violence is increasingly accepted in the U.S. because growing numbers of white people have concluded that the system no longer works for them. As the foundation of the colonial mode of production is shaken by the rising resistance of African, Mexican, Palestinian, Indigenous, and oppressed peoples, white fears of being “replaced” are erupting in increasingly violent and desperate acts. This fear of “replacement” is not limited to the so-called right wing. It is reflected on a global scale in institutions such as the Munich Security Conference, where in 2020 colonial leaders openly discussed the decline of white power, which they called “Westlessness.”
From its inception, the settler-colonial project of the U.S. has depended on daily violence against African and Indigenous people for its survival. As Chairman Omali reminds us, the pundits decrying the rise in “political violence in America today” never mention the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, or the more than 30 members of the Black Panther Party murdered in the U.S. government’s counterinsurgency war against the African Revolution of the 1960s.
The spike in political violence within the colonial society reveals the depth of the crisis of the colonial mode of production. As the Chairman says, the situation is especially dangerous for African and oppressed peoples. On the same day as Kirk’s assassination, eight historically Black colleges and universities received violent threats from white nationalists, forcing lockdowns and shelter-in-place orders. Days later, an African man named Trey Reed was also found hanging from a tree at Delta State University.
The only path forward is the total victory of African people in their struggle for independence from colonial domination. The only way forward is reparations—the return of stolen wealth to African people who are building a future where nobody is oppressed for the benefit of another.
For white people, the way forward is to stand in solidarity with African and oppressed peoples by becoming an active member of the Uhuru Solidarity Movement, under the leadership of the African People’s Socialist Party, and by building the movement for reparations to African people.
As white people, we cannot be silent. We call on all white people who oppose white nationalist violence and colonial terror to stand up, get organized, and take responsibility to build the movement for reparations under the leadership of the African working class.
Our task is clear: go back into our white communities to organize our friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, classmates and everyone we can, to break the complicity of the white population with our ruling class, and build a mass movement of white solidarity with Black Power.
The system is in a profound crisis—but a new world is being built. The Uhuru Movement is uniting African people across the globe in their struggle for liberation and unification. When African people are free, the world will be free.
There can never be an end to violence in a system born and sustained by violence. There can never be peace without justice, and there can only be justice through reparations to African people.
Join the Uhuru Solidarity Movement. Refuse to be complicit in genocide and white nationalist terror. Stand in solidarity with African and oppressed peoples everywhere. Reparations Now!
Uhuru!
