With all due respect, Pan-Africanism don’t mean kowtowing to people who are directly from the continent. Many of us are more committed to the mental, spiritual, educational, and sovereign liberation of African people than some of our kinfolks from the actual soil.

That's been a problem we've had for decades. We have lots of issues, but that's between us, Whites, and Native Americans. Not outsiders who came here yesterday with a government paid hotel room who larp like they're the NAACP 60 years ago demanding "rights."

Black people mostly care about utilizing black representation to verbally “own” and troll white conservatives.
What happens when the political banter toward whites stops and we are literally left running things?
I think in the minds of many (especially black) people, civilization just exists pre-made out there for us to take control over.
It is lost on people that civilizational operations we take for granted are dependent on values, behavioral competencies and the social processes enabled by the population that operates them.
Stop celebrating mere representation and begin to think about what sorts of human capital we can extract, develop, and implement for ourselves, at our own reliable pace. If you are going to be tribal, then please realize this is what you have to do.
This “politics of triumph” stuff is so tired. It develops no lasting capital and can work to separate you from populations who are most likely to extend useful and effective forms of altruism your way.

African Americans with a Pan African background usually are some of the most intelligent Black folks you can talk to.
The reason is rather simple:
Pan Africanism requires scholarship, historical context, and the prioritization of primary sources for data analysis.

The crux of it is misunderstanding and most people's inability to articulate themselves.
Most people are fine with Black Americans establishing themselves as an ethnic group. The problem stemmed from how both sides approached it.
The continental Africans (and Black Europeans) were and still are, ignorant of Black American history, and would say insensitive stuff towards BA. The biggest contention coming from Tanetjerians ignorantly asking BA "where are they from" despite BA explaining to them the history of why they say America.
Also, some African felt slightly offended by Black Americans rejection of their genetic roots.
Some BA on the other hand really didn't seem to like being called "Africans" and felt that their identity as an ethnic group was being eroded by the stream of immigrants coming to America and being called "Black Americans", so they decided to become xenophobic as fuck to distinguish themselves.
The term "Foundational Black Americans" would have been, and still is in my opinion, a solid ethnic identifier to distinguish those of chattel slavery descent but thanks to Tariq Nasheed, that was turned into a hate group who spend their time hating and attacking African like their were the KKK.
Now most people have a tainted perception of FBA. Truth be told, the FBA name can be saved but it would require more intelligent Black Americans to cleanse it.
There's also the fact that people really don't understand ethnicity, race and nationality at all.
When continental Africans call other Tanetjerians "African", it's them acknowledging your roots and your racial background. Africans do it to Black Europeans, Caribbeans and those in South America and elsewhere. In the rest of the world African is suitable alternative racial classification to being called "Black".
We literally interchange between "African" and "Black" when describing someone's race.
Jamaicans and Haitians for example know that they are Jamaican and Haitian ethnically and nationality wise, but they never get mad when referred to as African racially as well.
Even Brazilians, who have a high mixed population wouldn't lose their mind being referred to as African as a race.
It' even looks more crazier when even White Americans who also are 400 years removed still don't deny their European roots or get mad when called European descent.
There's a lot more but that's the gist of it.

I’m Black American - my male ancestors built 150 cities and over 100 Universiites. They’re the main and ONLY reason why Black Americans are the richest blacks globally with a net worth of $2.2 trillion. If Black America was a country, we would be top 20 rich globally. 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️

I'm glad that in 2026 our ancestral African ethnic groups are finally being recognized. "African American" is more appropriate than naming our 5-15+ West/Central African ethnic groups. It's also important to know some history of some of these groups.

The boondocks talked about white supremacy, capitalism, loss of standards/black people literally not caring about out own best interests, false leaders, dysfunction, ridiculous homophobia, and even how respectability politics isnt always valid

Columbus killed, enslaved & brutalized Indigenous People on their own land. To heck with Columbus Day,
Happy Indigenous People's Day!

As a black immigrant myself it shouldn’t be a whole diaspora war just because Black Americans don’t want to be talked about crazy. That’s a completely reasonable ask. But a lot of Black immigrants’ ethnic pride relies on being superior to a Black American caricature.

Black American culture is black women + white liberals + males who simp for the matriarchy and what gets black p***y wet = Black America since the 60s.
Educated, “lame” black men + black boys = disposable class.

Two types of Pan-Africanism
Mainstream : Getting everyone on board & to become one : which is impossible.
Reality : Understanding each other differences and respecting it , yet still different nations forming coalitions due to shared interests in order for long-term progress.
