The Second National Black Radical Organizing Conference (NBROC) continues the legacy of Black radical resistance, uniting organizers to confront imperialism, capitalism, and white supremacy while building an independent path toward collective liberation. The gathering in Indiana - 53 years after the historic National Black Political Convention - reaffirms that our freedom lies not in reforming a broken system but in dismantling it and forging a revolutionary future.

“The principal aspect of United States capitalist society is not merely bourgeois domination but bourgeois white supremacist domination.”If the fatal flaw of the white left has been the inability — indeed, the refusal — to account for white supremacy, one of the few white leftists to overcome this flaw was Theodore W. Allen (August 23, 1919 – January 19, 2005).

Toni Morrison on art, archives, knowledge, and the long history of white supremacy in the United States. As the United States furiously reaffirms itself as a white supremacist homeland, and all signs and symbols of non-white existence are expunged from history and purged from public life, novelist Toni Morrison’s lecture, “A Humanist View,” takes on a particular urgency and clarity.

The ADOS and FBA (American Descendants of Slavery and Foundational Black Americans) movements have gained influence by advocating for reparations exclusively for Black Americans descended from U.S. slavery while promoting a divisive, anti-immigrant, and reactionary ideology. ADOS/FBA’s ideology is a dangerous diversion from true liberation. To achieve justice, Black radicals must reject this reactionary faction and reaffirm anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and Pan-African solidarity.

Democratic Party survivors can’t bring themselves to accept that the cause of the Party’s death is unmanaged white people, and a bunch of non-white folks with the irrational belief that they are entitled to white privilege. The Democratic Party is dead. The Republican Party is dead too. It died a while back, but nobody knew it because before anybody could check its pulse, a collection of crazies assumed its identity and rallied behind The Great Orange Father.

For those who are troubled by the U.S. complicity in Israel’s maniacal genocide in Gaza, Kamala Harris has done nothing to inspire hope that if she is elected, she will change course. When asked pointed questions about the horrific massacre of many thousands of Palestinians, she defaults to a mantra about Israel’s right to defend itself and the Biden administration’s mythical round-the-clock efforts to achieve a ceasefire.

One of the many unfortunate common threads between Palestinians, South Africans, and African Americans is the betrayal of the people by their political leadership who were meant to lead them into a better future. Instead, they were abandoned while those leaders became puppets of imperialist powers. The assault on the Palestinian Authority’s headquarters in the West Bank occurred only days after Israel began its siege of Gaza in October of 2023, leaving the building pockmarked with bullet holes.

The forces of U.S. imperialism operate both internationally and domestically in a never-ending pursuit of capital, upheld by the exploitation of the working class and maintained through violence. In NYC, the seat of American wealth, this relationship is especially clear. The stories of the African/Black working-class people of the city terrorized by the NYPD serve as an example of the vice grip the ruling elite has over the masses.
