@Poitier

Enough with just having cultural food and music fairs... let's have a discussion about universally helping one another socially. When I attended college, it often aggravated me how black Americans felt Africans were another foreign group of people they could not identify with. And it was also troubling to see some native Africans look down on blacks in the country for not feeling as self-confident and culturally strong about their heritage. At this very moment in our present history, we now more than ever need to put down our media-driven stereotypes about one another and have real conversations about it. I am tired of seeing too many people of color help one another among regional affiliations and not the diaspora as a whole. Because the truth of the matter is that the rest of the world do not see us any differently and by strengthening our connections we can better combat these problems.

Can we squash this. Or you still want to go at it?

Good article by the way. Thanks for sharing

During my stay in Ghana, for the first time in my life I felt what it was like to be in the majority. Most of the population is black

Funny...I felt this way when I visited ATL a few years ago

He's leaving out the fact that a lot of people can't afford a voyage to mother country anytime they feel like.

But overall great message.
