China, Africa(ns), White Supremacy & the White Left. orinocotribune.com By Ahjamu Umi — Jun 17, 2021 | In the 1980s, during the cold war, white socialist groups from Marxist/Leninist, Maoist, Trotskyist, etc., tendencies throughout the U.S., were always quick to the draw in attacking our revolutionary Pan-Africanist ideology, work, and analysis.
