too many Black people just don't want to have anything to do with eachother. It amazes me how totally indifferent some of our people can be to their brother next door.You talk to some Africans.....they don't even know what's going on in the nation right next to them; and really don't care. You can talk to an Ethiopian who has no idea of what's going on in Kenya and seem totally unconcerned, he's only concerned about the issue HE'S pushing. The same with a Senegalese or a Somali....or even a Jamaican or Panamanian. It's just how we are.

Very true. We black people are like that. I have been trying to say that all along. Whether its in Africa or in Brazil or in America on in England, we are not concerned about black people from another tribe or another city.

In this realization about the social-behavioral disconnect between black people, comes the true value of PanAfricanism. There have been some on here (as well as outside) who question the purpose of PanAfricanism, and its effectiveness in creating action. PanAfricanism it the movement by which blacks begin to learn about one another, identify with one another, and see themselves as one. If people don't identify with each other...if they don't allow nationality, culture, and ethnic identification to become less significant (secondary to the worldwide progress of black people)...then unification is not realistic goal.

I couldn't agree with you more.
Especially with lessening the significance of nationality, culture, and ethnicity for the same of Black unity world wide.

Knowing who we are and where we came from is the FIRST step of advancement because I'd say a good half of our people through out the Latin and Arab world don't even recognize themselves as Black.
They see Black as "them other people".


If it weren't for the Black Power/Pride Movements in America many of our people here in the West wouldn't either.

In America, Black used to be considered an insult.
We made Black beautiful and acceptable in the West.....but this has to go global before most of our people begin to accept thier ancestry.


You go to some Latin countries and the way the word "Black" is demonized you'd swear you were in the deep South back in the 1920s.
