Come on guys!!!! Beyond internet beef, I’ve never ran into any major problems from blks in other Diaspora communities.

So I got questions:

What’s the history of pan-African sentiment and philosophy?

What will it take for us to come on one accord?

A few African countries are now inviting AAs to come back and invest in these countries. Would any of you consider making the move?

What’s the origins of AA/diaspora blk beef?

How can we squash it?

Because blks worldwide are going through the same shyt: exploitation, oppression, disenfranchisement.

Please refrain from insulting people. Let’s have a genuine, intelligent, discussion.
We can do it!:salute:I believe in us!

Here’s some basic starter info from Wiki:mjlol:
It’s not the most scholarly, but it can at least give us a start
:russ:

Pan-Africanism stresses the need for "collective self-reliance".[11] Pan-Africanism exists as a governmental and grassroots objective. Pan-African advocates include leaders such as Toussaint Louverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Haile Selassie, Julius Nyerere, Robert Sobukwe, Ahmed Sékou Touré, Kwame Nkrumah, King Sobhuza II, Robert Mugabe, Thomas Sankara, Kwame Ture, Dr. John Pombe Magufuli, Muammar Gaddafi, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, grassroots organizers such as Joseph Robert Love, Marcus Garvey, and Malcolm X, academics such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Anténor Firminand others in the diaspora.[12][13][14][15] Pan-Africanists believe that solidarity will enable the continent to fulfill its potential to independently provide for all its people. Crucially, an all-African alliance would empower African people globally.

The realization of the pan-African objective would lead to "power consolidation in Africa", which "would compel a reallocation of global resources, as well as unleashing a fiercer psychological energy and political assertion ... that would unsettle social and political (power) structures...in the Americas".[16]

Advocates of pan-Africanism—i.e. "pan-Africans" or "pan-Africanists"—often champion socialist principles and tend to be opposed to external political and economic involvement on the continent. Critics accuse the ideology of homogenizing the experience of people of African descent. They also point to the difficulties of reconciling current divisions within countries on the continent and within communities in the diaspora.[16]
All of this SOUNDS great.

Yeah that’s a pretty big one. But recognizing that the ancestors many in those countries were victims themselves and not in power, could surely be a good place to start a good discussion right?

No, all of them weren't victims. The Transatlantic slave trade couldn't have happened on the scale it did without collusion. If there's any hope for pan-africanism the first step is to treat Black people like humans with distinct history and flaws like anybody else. Too many people think slapping "We all Black" on every problem as a solution

I dont think its any major beef

Just clear diffrences

If we keep it real most non ados dont really kno ados like that and vice versa. They only been in usa 40 years or so in mass

We been here 400


I think the culture and issues in diff countries continents is so diff we cant see eye to eye on everything

That why its best to help ur own ethnicity first in whatever country u in cause that what will have the most direct impact on u.


In america 90 percent ados so its best ados look out for each other

Hispanics and asians do the same

Filipinos worry about filipinos first
Cambodian worry about cambodian first

Mexicans do
Pr do as well


@Booksnrain

We dont all live in same place with same history and culture.

So its dam near impossible to achieve pan africanism

Im ados im looking out for ados people first

I help a jamacian or african

Before a cac

But im helping my ethnicity black American before anyone

I dont see the issue with this
