On 28 October, 2005, Kamau Kambon published on the BlackNificent website his "One and only statement"^[7] subsequent to his speech on 14 October. In the statement, he claims that he speaks for all enslaved Africans and their descendants, past and present, as well as indigenous North Americans. While the statement goes into great detail about perceived wrongs done persons of African descent by whites, it does not specifically confirm or deny an advocacy of genocide.
