Some people don't like progress and change and keep wanting to do the same things and get the same results and then wonder why there is no progress. There is Chinese interests, there are British interests, there are Korean interests, there are German interests, there are Brazilian, there are Mexican interests. Before slavery, there were Malia interests,Yoruba interests, Congolese interests, Igbo interests and so on. Sometimes interests overlap and sometimes they don't. That's the reality of the world we live. You protect your people's interests first and then you look to the broader world for common interests. That's what the UN is for. A bunch of nations, protect their people's interests. Sometimes interests overlap and they go as a group. Sometimes they don't.
Would you be happy if you had your own country and then your own country decided to clique up on general principle and was like "Well we all countries in the Pacific."
Some of y'all get mad when people of color and Black people are lumped together but then you want to lump all Black people together when there are very different interests. Just because you have your own interests does not men you are automatically against other people. You just understand what is good for you, isn't good for someone else and vice versa.
