You're militant if-
If you just know the gov't has a thick file on you.
If you've wondered if perms are another step in the plan for world domination (and conlcuded they are!)
Your fave artists include Gil Scott Heron and the Last Poets
At this point you couldn't get any job that was gov't related, no matter how distantly, without feeling like a sell-out
Instead of fantasizing about men, your daydreams center around the advent of true equality and real power for POC

[empowered]

lol... at it all. I actually own a couple of those pics with the fist on it, I don't smile often at white folks, and I am always on some conspiracy theory trip. I know the FBI will be knocking on my door any moment. [SMILE]

You've ever said "by any means necessary" in any context lol
You ever get irritated when people talk about Africa and refer to it as a country, or make generalizations about the people (like they don't wear shoes, or they all live in huts, or they are all darker skinned...)
You've taken a mandatory world history class and knew more about what was going on in Africa during a key period in history than your professor did.
You pay attention to news going on in the Black American community, Carribbean countries, and Africa more than locally.

HAHAHA..I guess Ive truly outed myself now!! this was me..my teachers used to HATE me, they gave up calling my mother and father when I was at school cos they were worse than me!! ahahahaaa..

love this thread..too funny and true..
when I was in my teens I was convinced I was being watched, and me n my cuz would have all these discussions about 'taking down the man' 'by any means necessary'..great times..and no Im not a 'racist' Im a 'realist' baybee..!!

You might be militant if:

You greet all blacks with my brotha, my sista, or words from the Koran

You laugh when people say we have a black president and proceed to explain to them that Barack Obama is a pawn of the white man

You find yourself telling any and everyone that Americas first president was a black man...and then proceed on with a lecture

You have legally changed your name to something like Paribus Omega. LOL.

[Khalliqa]

You wear your hair in Locs, Afro, Close-Crop(TWA), or Cornrows... No matter what chemical is in style or considered hip. :afro:

Don't like this one.. this shouldn't make you militant.. this should be seen as normal..

[Khalliqa]

When you are on the phone and everytime you hear clicking on the phone and it's not yours and it's not the person's that you're talking to, you automatically think its the FBI
When you think you are on the FBI list because you are a memeber of an Assata Shakur site

ummm yep..

[Alecto]

...when u have a Malcolm X shirt

...when ur always preachin about war against "the man"

...when u end every sentence with "my brotha" or "my sista"

2 year bump . Here's a shop from Toronto that makes shirts with black Icons on them like Hendrix,Obama, MJ, Billie Holliday, Bob Marley and others, and ones with images of different African tribes on them. Not sure of these make you militant, but I want about 20 of em lol.
