This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read Africa My Africa by David Diop

What does the author urge the black people to stand up for?

Answer: Their freedom, against the humiliation and the mistreatments they suffer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diop, a strong advocate of Negritude as a need to reclaim African history, refers to people 'saying no to the whip' as a way to express what he thinks has to be done: give liberty to black people. Furthermore, by the end of the poem, he describes that same liberty as bitter-tasting, meaning that it will only be achieved by a great effort.
