(Please Note: The latest amendments to the Code of Umoja appear in RED type.)
Below are Article 3 of the Code of Umoja and some Explanatory Notes. These are included to let you know how seriously Black People have been thinking and acting along Black nationalist lines. Pay close attention to them, and make notes if you think certain changes would improve the document.

It is important to note that this article deals with claims to all of the land Black People in North America are entitled to. This document specifically refers to the "territory in North America now known as Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, and Mississippi." It is not accidental that these lands are referred to as territories, not states, and their selection is in strict compliance with what would be deemed legitimate according to United Nations specifications about such matters.
According to international law, Black People in America have a legal right to establish independent governments in the urban areas of the north and in several of the southern states because We have lived in these areas, worked in them and defended them against attacks for hundreds of years. We also have a right to build a Black government in the west because We (Our ancestors) were kidnapped and illegally transported to this land from Our native home (Africa). Because we have a right to choose where We want to establish Our government in America, the conveners and establishers of the Provisional Government of the RNA identified territory in the South that is presently divided into five American states (South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi) as the homeland of New Afrikans/Black People.
The choice of states selected by the conveners is excellent. All of the factors that legitimize Our claims according to international law were recognized and applied so expertly that Our case, seen through the eyes of objective international observers, will be as airtight as such a case can be. However, the conveners of the RNA failed to stir two very critical factors into the land mix: (1) that We, Black People, will make or break Our claim and (2) that We, Black People, have the right to a share of the land profits that have been accumulated over the last, say, 375 years.
When Black People identify a stretch of land that We have a right to occupy and call Our own, international organizations like the United Nations are not going to take on the obligation of freeing that stretch of land for Us. What organizations like the United Nations will do is recognize the legitimacy of lands that We, Ourselves, have freed. So, my question is, "Why should Black People settle for only 5 out of an empire of more than 50 states?" When We first arrived here, there were no 50 states nor any territories. If We had not been brought here, there wouldn't be 50 states even today!

White people came to this land and practically eliminated the Native American, went to Africa and kidnapped Black People and brought Us here to build the country that they were incapable of building by themselves. That means that two major groups of people, one Black and one white, developed this country into a collection of more than 50 states. When the two groups decide to go their separate ways, politically speaking, there is no justifiable reason why the Black group should accept just 5 states and leave the white group with the remaining 45 plus. Without either group, the United States of America would not be worth half of what it is today. Therefore, each group has a legitimate claim to half of the profits [land] that Our "collaboration" produced. Therefore, in addition to the states selected by the conveners of the RNA conference in Detroit, Our minimum goal should be to add Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee and North Carolina to that list. That is my personal opinion, and I think it could be justified before an international body of arbiters. As a matter of fact, if We consolidate Our power the way We are capable of doing, I know the United Nations and similar bodies would find it a completely equitable solution.
Section 3B is very important because it recognizes the claim of the original people to the North American territory and states that the Black nation will negotiate these claims with the appropriate representatives of these original people. This is all the more reason why We should seek more than the 5 territories specified by the conveners. If We secure more than 5 states, We will be better able to provide Native Americans with the option of taking some states and governing themselves. After We have taken control of Our land, if the Native Americans would prefer to form a separate nation rather than join Us, I think We should make that goal as attainable as possible for them.
That is food for thought that We can deal with at the appropriate time.
