Brother Legend: Decolonizing The Diaspora - Pan Africanism Or PerishIn this in-depth conversation, I sit down with Brother Legend to explore his political journey and the powerful ideas that shape his work. We begin with the story of how he became radicalized, setting the foundation for a discussion on Pan-Africanism—what it means today and why it remains essential to global Black liberation. Brother Legend breaks down how nativist groups and state forces have tried to distort or undermine Pan-Africanist thought, and introduces the concept of counter-racism, explaining how it functions in his political practice and intersects with Pan-Africanism as both a strategy and worldview.We also address recent backlash from ADOS/FBA groups over his comments on African American identity and what it means to be part of a larger Black cultural family. Brother Legend shares his perspective on the global popularity of African American culture, questioning whether it functions as a form of soft power tied to U.S. imperialism—and what that means for Black unity worldwide. Finally, he offers a message to young people navigating the ideological conflicts within the Black freedom movement, encouraging clarity, humility, and true solidarity across the diaspora. This conversation is urgent, honest, and necessary for anyone committed to Black liberation.Brother Legends links: https://www.tiktok.com/@bigbrolgndhttps://youtube.com/@bigbrolgndhttps://www.b1initiative.org/
