Hmm... there are some interesting arguments being brought up that can't be ignored.
Africans and African Americans do have problems with unity, whether it's putting on ethnic group over another or valuing a certain look over another. Different reasons exist for why that happens, but overall it is still ignorant and results in the same consequence: being more prime for external forces to take advantage of us.
External forces often times don't have our interests at heart, but we do have to look at the strife we have among ourselves which causes some to want to partake in the external culture. On the same token, though, we can't necessarily run to an outside force thinking that their religion, culture or race will solve our problems. They won't because they're human too with the SAME issues we have 1, and 2, many times their motives for being there in the first place were off. Demonizing a religious system that is still a part of us is not the solution.
