Alive and well actually.

A lot of Africans are disappointed in they way some of them responded, including myself. But I don't let what some idiotic trolls say move how I think...it was disappointing but Twitter ain't real at the end of the day

i have seen that also :) the reckoning im seeing with black americans is that africans and the diaspora do not identify as black first which i think is the premise of the pan african philosophy. it is very interesting. i appreciate you :) thank you

    There will always be coons and that‘s what we saw with the Ari Lennox situation. We need to be respectful as Black Americans but no one can tell us that we don‘t have our right to a part of Africa. A lot of those clowns that were going after her probably can’t even tell you what the Ghana Empire is but want to be the Twitter visitor bureau.

    Listen to this man…do you think Pan-Africanism is dead?

    We need to be uniting with these type of people and expressing solidarity not propagating tribalism.

    Do Black Americans need to circle the wagons on immigrants coons? Hell yeah but we need a healthy Africa if we are to have a future.

    we can only practice Pan Africanism with those who will practice it with us. Like Dr. John Henrik Clarke said, either we Blacks globablly unite, or we perish. If the Black peoples in Brazil, Haiti, Jamaica, and Africa ever got on code with us Descendants of American Slaves, it would be curtains already for WHite Supremacy. And thats why they work so hard to keep us from separated.

    i have heard and seen SAs be the most on the b1 philosophy :) thank you.

    mr clark says if.. im sure we all understand the value of the promise in that premise. i appreciate you :) thank you.

    i would like to see more solidarity around reparations for descendants of american freedman from the usofa government in africa and the diaspora. the lack of support i see is perplexing, granted it is online. sadly, rws is having the desired effect on black peoples world wide reputation and must be countered.

    Sometimes in life we have to be the lone ember that sparks the fire. It’s unfortunate and it’s lonely because it’s cold and we require warmth but sometimes it really takes that one spark. We may not get that support from across the pond but our success could be the catalyst for their fight for emancipation.

    So the end result will be us working together but it will be at the start of our action towards our oppressor and not at their unity with us.

    Thank you. I think some are taking FBAs circling our wagons a bit too far and are pushing the same tribalism that has the Continent in a stasis.
    you arent alone in that sentiment. personally i give them grace because they have been provoked and are reacting. id rather see more defense of them than blame for overreacting. culture shock is a sickness and reckoning with people you, your ancestors, your scholars have taught you to work with, seeing you as dumb, lazy, and/or in bed with rws is a lot to deal with.

    It’s simple to me if you FWM I FWU its that simple. There was Cameroonian dude at my old job more on code than my FBA coworkers. He came through for me in so many ways I’d be dumb to write off my African brothers. I had some bad experiences with Nigerians but I’ve had bad experiences with everybody. BAN is in every ethnicity.
