Introduction
Over the centuries people fought for their rights and protested against those who did not treat them right. The Black Nationalists Movement was a protest of African Americans against white peoples to let the black ones integrate into their society. Now that some time has passed the situation changed and we live in the 21st century with some structural changes in our mode of production.
One of the reasons of changing our mode of production in our times is that productive forces of once organized Black Nationalists Movement have reached a certain level of completeness, understanding and support, in other words, people met half-way the leaders of the movement and their requirements. The absence of oppression of black people and the fact that their rights and freedoms are not denied and limited anymore characterizes the changes in our mode of production and proves once again that the Black Nationalists Movement reached its main aim and today black people are not treated as slaves and have an absolute freedom to stand up for their rights in case they will be neglected. They are given an opportunity to form their communities and to study their origin “in order not to forget our past strengths, indeed, the rich legacy of our glorious African ancestry”. (cited in Africana Womanism & Race & Gender in the Presidential Candidacy of Barack Obama, 133). There is no denying the fact of “the possibility of black Americans achieving equality within America’s racialized social body” (Manning Marable, Leith Mullings, xviii). This characterizes the changes which occurred in our perception of black people in the 21st century.
Main body
Despite the fact that “counterinterpretation suggests that, not only has discrimination not been eliminated, there has been no intention of altering patterns of black oppression in any significant manner” (Gayle T. Tate, Lewis A. Randolph, p. 109) today the Black Community does not need any reform movements, especially the kind of its former “reform movements, each aimed at correcting some perceived major injustice” (Robert L. Allen, Pamela P. Allen, p. 6) nor needs it radical or global movements as its Revitalization Movement in the 20th century was a success and helped black people integrate the society in the way they intended to do. What the Black Community needs now is a kind of a peaceful movement which will arouse white people’s trust in them and will prove that their fight for rights and freedoms was not for nothing and the white people did it right by accepting them in their society. The philosophy of such movement would be to fix the rights of black people in order not to let the story repeat. The objective of the movement will be to convince white people that no violence will ever be implemented by black people against them because of the racial factor. The areas in which such movement will be organized should have leaders who will work on the strategic plan the main goal of which will be to evoke positive emotions and associations with black people in white population. And finally, to sustain the movement certain social organizations and community centers must be formed and the leaders of them must take care of the increasing the number of members of such organizations uniting them with the common goal.
Conclusion
In conclusion it will be fair to state that black people successfully integrated in the society and there only aim now should be to consolidate their position and not to let racial attitudes penetrate their minds again.
