I’ve always wondered about the dissidence between Africans and AA and why both sides try to separate from each other, but after analyzing history and reading up on AA civil rights leaders, I can see the AA and African youth have been programmed to act in that manner. https://twitter.com/urorientalist/status/1252634065737519106
AA have been programmed through school and MSM, teaching them Africans were savages who lacked the means of creating a society, while Africans were taught AA’s were criminals/nuisance to society. Creating a need for separation and one not wanting to be associated with the other.
But in reality this disassociation is more harmful to both of us, b/c it destroys the unity our ancestors fought hard to make in the past. Just look at the 60’s, read up on civil right leaders and African leaders and how they spoke of one another.
Look at all they accomplished b/c they understood that the struggle for civil rights in the states was the same struggle as Africans fighting for independence in the motherland. We have become divided and because of that we are susceptible to being conquered.
So now the question is who does it benefit for us to be separated? Who planted those seeds? How do we as an overall African Diaspora come together again to continue the process of our ancestors? These are not answers I currently have, but I do know we as a people can achieve it.
