CHINWEIZU SPEAKS; "These e-technologies and tele-technologies are actually a handicap to mobilizing our people. They seductively confine our activism within the virtual reality domain, making us virtual activists asphyxiating in virtual reality. They, and especially the internet, are good for political education and information distribution, which is a first and vital step. But until the educational activity in virtual space gets connected to real time street activity, nothing will actually happen. Garvey worked in the street. His effect/impact was on the streets, in real time, not in cyberspace. Too many of the "conscious" Afrikans I know today are passivists who seem too contented with admiring their "conscious" condition to go forth and do something with it in real time. That has to be changed."
