They been quietly delineating for a century +, but in America delineating works when the visiting group is the only one doing it.

Its the exact other way aroundTLR has to be a CIA psyop at this point. Yall creating these weird distinctions pitting us against eachother . CIA doesn't have to do shyt anymore they just kicking back on their desk and laughing at us.
The CIA and the powers to be are fully onboard with black americans/FBAS being dumb and naive enough to adopt BLANKET blackness

They want us to believe the government thinks domestic pan africanism is a threat while doing shyt like this
The Pan Africanism that is a threat is it actually happening in Africa. Which is why when that happens in any significant way they actually tear it down. Which they know will never happen because they are far too tribal to work together.
The actual threat to America and the one that they have always burned down at any chance is Black American group economics and collectivism (Black Panthers)
all the symbolic gestures between BA and Africa they don’t give a fukk about. They never have.
There’s a reason Garvey died from a stroke and MLK and X were shot.

That's misleading. While he did acknowledge that Africans were sometimes treated differently in America, his point wasn't to say they were exempt from Jim Crow laws, because they were not. He was exposing how the West deliberately manipulated perceptions by treating African diplomats or students in very isolated cases, better than Black Americans, not out of respect, but as a tactic to divide us. His message was about how these differences were used to drive a wedge between Africans and African Americans - classic divide and conquer. Quoting him without that context distorts his actual message.
The claim that Africans in the 50s and 60s were not held to Jim Crow laws in the South is wildly misleading and historically inaccurate. Jim Crow laws did not differentiate based on nationality, they were enforced strictly along racial lines. Do you think white racists polled Black people on whether or not they were African or Black American? This is a nonsense belief.
Any Black person, whether African American or African-born, was subject to the same segregation and discrimination if they lived in or traveled through the South. There may have been some isolated cases where African students might have been treated as "exceptions" for diplomatic or propaganda reasons during the Cold War, but legally, they were not exempt.
Black Africans were still forced to use "colored" facilities, denied access to white-only spaces, and targeted by the same racist systems. To imply otherwise whitewashes the reality of how race dictated one's treatment under Jim Crow.

During recent years there has been much talk about a population explosion. Whenever they are speaking of the population explosion, in my opinion, they are referring to the people primarily in Asia or in Africa— the black, brown, red, and yellow people. It is seen by people of the West that, as...

Pretty sure this applied to all foreign blacks as well.

lol, watched some of this and had to laugh. This is the exact definition of barbershop smart. Dude reads something and starts speaking with no understanding of historical context.
Time period, just after world war 2. New independent British and French colonies in Africa that can either align with the US or USSR.
Notice how small the numbers of "scholarships" were? Those were the kids of the elites, the idea was if given a Western education they'll head back to Africa with Western sympathies and lead countries to align with essentially NATO. Whatever allowances were offered to a specific group of essentially African diplomats was not being extended to the average African immigrant. You think there would be an "international embarrassment" as mentioned in the video over a random African?

Right now, in this country, if you and I, 22 million African-Americans -- that's what we are -- Africans who are in America. You're nothing but Africans. Nothing but Africans. In fact, you'd get farther calling yourself African instead of Negro. Africans don't catch hell. You're the only one catching hell. They don't have to pass civil-rights bills for Africans. An African can go anywhere he wants right now. All you've got to do is tie your head up. That's right, go anywhere you want. Just stop being a Negro. Change your name to Hoogagagooba. That'll show you how silly the white man is. You're dealing with a silly man. A friend of mine who's very dark put a turban on his head and went into a restaurant in Atlanta before they called themselves desegregated. He went into a white restaurant, he sat down, they served him, and he said, "What would happen if a Negro came in here? And there he's sitting, black as night, but because he had his head wrapped up the waitress looked back at him and says, "Why, there wouldn't no ****** dare come in here."
