Historically within the U.S., there exists a decades-long history of those fighting for Black liberation who developed a broader perspective in analyzing our material condition within the belly of the beast. Unfortunately, many people remain focused on our internal experiences as though they operate isolated from the rest of the world. Analyzing our circumstances within the heart of empire causes confusion when we don’t see the connections as one global, functioning system run by the descendants of the same people who first began colonizing the globe centuries ago. When some activists —such as Ethel Minor, secretary to Malcolm X at the time of his assassination and later communications coordinator for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee —turned their lens outward, a picture formed that revealed a direct relationship between the actions in which the U.S. and its collaborators engage abroad that produce adverse conditions inside the U.S. Minor’s article, The Palestine Problem: Test Your Knowledge , was key. Just like Ghassan Kanafani saw the struggle for Palestinian liberation as tied to the broader global fight against imperialism, exploitation and white hegemony, so too did Black people inside the imperial core once we looked.
