certain regions of the world have made an attempt, at least on an economic level...like when Africans realized there was a need for solidarity to combat their economic condition and try to get up to par w/ the rest of the world. Hence, West, South, and East African economic collectives (forgive me...I can't remember the names/acronyms at the moment).

Same with Europe and the universalization (that a word?) of their economy. I think money (fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your view) may be the quickest, most efficient way to "unite" a nation or a group of nations.

But when you want to start shaking up the status quo and uniting to defeat oppression and oppressive societies...then you run into problems. The people of the African diaspora would be hard pressed to get together because many of them refuse to identify as "black" or as the "descendants of Africans." So how are you going to combat the global effects of colonization when you're still thinking black/African is an insult?

Seems like a catch 22 to me...
