the African, Black american thing is fucked. but there are many underlining reasons.
1. for example when africans come here as students in univerisities they are told to stay away and stay clear of us b/c we are bad news and we are lazy welfare fuckers.
2. we as Blk. americans want to be so far removed from Africans b/c we think many of them are ugly. their distinctive broad noses, big lips, etc.....we don't want to identify with that.also, it's like in looking at them we are staring ourselves in the face.
3. we are ignorant of each others history so many Black americans still thinks of the bush, tarzan, and nomads when thinking of Africa. and many Africans think we are ungrateful for the thigns that happened in the 60's and 70's and all we thugs, crackheads, and welfare queens.
4. COLONIZATION, THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON. THINK ABOUT IT IF ALL OF THE AFRICAN DIASPORA WOULD UNITE WE WOULD BE THE BADDEST MOFOS ON THIS PLANET. WHITE FOLKS HAVE MASTERED WILLIE LYNCH'S DIVIDE AND CONQUER TACTIC AND IT HAS WORKED.
5. individually start to converse with Africans and Africans reciprocate. Dialogue is important.
