I see four different shades of BROWN on the panel. Based on their personal introductions, it sounds like their origins eat different foods, pray to different deities, and live different cultures.. Why try to lump all of these four people into one group, when they are clearly not the same? There is not such thing as a WHITE or ASIAN peoples. Japanese aren't the same as Korean. Norwegian isn't the same as German. So why should Senegal be the same as South Central?

@@RH_DB , people on the African continent belong to so many ethnic groups and cultures. On the continent of Africa, the average African doesn't refer to himself as a black person. Rather, he would talk about his ethnicity. The idea that black people either in the Latin America, the United States, the Caribbean are the same also has never at anytime. Now idea of solidarity of black people is an ideal that is accepted by many regardless of where they live around the world. There are those who don't care about it and there are those who embrace it. It's just about perspectives. Black Americans are not a monolith either. Some are interested in their African ancestry and will engage with Africa regardless.

I have a feeling that most of the members of the panel are drawing their subjective assumptions as residents of the states along the coastal States, primarily along the eastern corridor. Many immigrants of color come from cultures which are passive aggressive, and struggle with deeply xenophobic and anti black attitudes. Traditionally "Native", Black Americans have been the vanguard of Pan African attitude. This is born out of the tradition of the one drop rule. However, in the Caribbean and Latin America, and Africa, are programned to make distinctions amount themselves. On fact, many Caribbean immigrants would fight among themselves (big Island vs little island, Dominican vs Puerto Rican), it is only recently where you know see Latino or Caribbean solidarity.

Its almost as if these folk have totally missed the entire Black American ethnic identity movement over the last 10 years. They also subscribe to the self despising assumption that descendants of slavery and those who triumphed over slavery are inferior to those Black people who were not enslaved. This assumption inferiorizes Western Black people in comparison to Black people on the African continent.

Somehow the black people that came from elsewhere to fight are only a handful. What good do y'all even do? You guys haven't been able to get the US to stop targeting Haiti for over 200 years. Now that I think about it, what exactly are any of you trying to get done? The only political position I've ever heard from you guys is reparations which shows how much you don't understand the country you happen to be born in. America will gladly do social things that don't cost them money. You guys ever going to fight against the reverse reparations that Haitians have been paying for over 2 centuries? No. You only care about reparations for yourselves. Everybody else should burn, but they should also help you get reparations. You guys are an incoherent movement.

My stepfather was from St. Kitts. We were together, It was when we had to move out of the neighborhood due to a housing development being constructed in our neighborhood, we all scattered to the Bronx, Brooklyn, and upper Manhattan. Our parents used to get together once a year at a dance. But as they died off all of that stopped. But now we must come together as Diasporans. Love you all conversation.
