As Ezra Pound famously said, "A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him." In this sense Blacks in America, are at a fundamental and esoteric level "still in a state of slavery."
All their attempts at freeing themselves failed, and they had to wait for the White Man from the North to defeat the White Man in the South to free them. At a true spiritual level, as intuited by the Rastafarians, true freedom for the Black man lies in escaping from America back to Africa, or by recreating a pure Africa in part of America. It does not include the devil's bargain of subscribing to a White-dominated "multicultural" society in which he will always feel displaced and spiritually rootless.
