If the US got divided into 50 individual countries it would have more vast amounts of poverty, income inequality and disease. There would probably be wars, rivalries, and conflicts between states as well. African's aren't thinking about how they'd be stronger and more prosperous together as long as their ethnic group can reign supreme over the scraps their allotted from labor and resources and hold onto the imaginary lines called borders the colonizers divided them into.

[@Boiblu1914]

I only watched the first part of the video before commenting: More and more SSAs are calling themselves Blacks than in years past, especially with immigration to Western nations where they are generally referred to as such and accept that designation after a generation or two. You are correct in suggesting that the cultural differences would likely get in the way of a true pan-cultural adoption of that designation and many ethnic groups within and throughout these nations wouldn't necessarily identify with one another, unless a common enemy threatens everyone and forces them to put aside former points of contention. But what gets left out is the catalyst of that unified identity would reside in the diaspora. There are millions of Africans and folks of African decent in Western nations who embrace the ideas of Pan-Africanism, albeit in a somewhat disjointed manner presently. If this population eventually repatriates to their home countries - as many are currently doing - and can somehow overcome the pernicious economic indebtedness to Western nations - that's the biggest struggle left out of this video) - the concept is less far fetched than you present. Kwame Nkrumah (Ghana), William Tolbert (Liberia) and Nnamdi Azikwe (Nigeria) were proponents of pan-Africanism and were educated in part at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This legacy would continue at a far faster rate due to changes in immigration laws in Western nations and the inherent problems of racism many face their as well. Moreover, so long as this "nation" operates more like an economic union with a single currency and a devotion to a singular military (essentially a nationstate LOL), the eventual transition to FULL nationhood would be smoother. You also mention language; most African countries speak some variation of English or French alongside their pre-colonial tongues. It wouldn't as hard as this video suggests to unify based on that perceived limitation. On to the economy: if this proposed nation was allowed to operate independently it would sit firmly in the G7 as a top-10 world economy. Africa has far too many resources the world needs; if autonomy means determining the price of admission to those resources, Western and Asian powers would ideally get their raw materials elsewhere, but it means Africa would be able to produce their own goods and services, significantly reducing the chronic joblessness and emigration to other more developed countries effectively stopping the brain drain. And because the value of their money would be low, Africa could very well be the new industrial force with its young population and demand for jobs. There would, of course, be massive social instability at the onset as the economy changes drastically to the influx of the diaspora, but the outcome would propel the continent after about 7-15 years. The key concern is whether or not anyone from the West/East would invest in government bonds allowing for the necessary infrastructure to expand. I'd argue yes, but it would come mostly from Western Blacks who had the means to invest; they'd be the biggest winners alongside the millionaires and billionaires already in the country. So, what would they export? Culture/Entertainment, Energy capture (solar in the Sahara has the capacity to power the entire world), Food (although we as a species may overcome the perception of scarcity with food), and if Nkrumah's dream was to be fulfilled, education and scientific inquiry.

AGH! THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I was born in nigeria, moved to the uk just before i was a teenager and thus was introduced to the black identity a little later in life. My spirit has never felt settled in this said 'black identity' because it generalises and erases the individual cultures that exist and people end up co-opting the black american identity which is just not the same as immigrants from jamaica, nigeria, gambia, congo etc living in the UK. As a passing description, I will identify as black but culturally? To be grouped with other people from other countries around the globe simply because of appearance makes no sense to me. And I don't think it ever will. We have our similarities and yes a new unified culture may be forming as a result of living and mixing with one another but our own personal/traditional cultures still exist. This is something that's alwasy bugged me tbh.

[@elle19ism]

P K thank you! This is almost exactly how I feel. I'm at the stage of life where I'm defining my identity based on my own experiences. So, the idea of a common "black experience" that so many people talk about nowadays goes over my head in many ways. I didn't spend my childhood thinking I was black. I knew about that term but I didn't start being identified as such until I moved go the UK as well. I'm ok with it, but I'm not ok with people thinking all black people are the same just because we have similar features or because we come from the same continent. It's good to know there are people out there who share a similar viewpoint when it comes to this👍🏾

[@masterbaf]

Are you actually black. Both P K and elle19ism sounds like the same person to me in some ways.. Anyway, I think different black tribes adopted cultural traits from one another. And I also believe Blacks, who somewhat have similar facial buildups to other blacks, can still be related. The black/dark brown/light brown skin color is enough to prove that they are related. But I think mostly of Blacks in Africa, where I assume they're all more or less related, as they also intermarried centuries ago in Africa till this day. As for genetic relations to Native Americans, or Blacks from Native Black Populations outside of Africa, idk. The ones who travel out of Africa, still are related to other Africans, although they've been born in another country outside Africa. Either way, Blacks sticking together is because they trust eachother and because they can relate, since even though they might be of different Black origins, they all did face discrimination, slavery and persecution throughout history. Especially during European Leopold II reign over Africa and his massacres on Africans, as he viewed them as subhuman belonging "under" the European race. Remember where you come from and which people you represent. If you actually are black, then your very words play into the hands of those who wants to take advantage of dividing the Black community and increase hate among them towards eachother. The so-called Divide and Rule strategy they used for decades. In Africa as well. Turning people against their own...

[@eclipsenow5431]

6 forces I think will unity Africa one day, however long it takes! 1. SAME LANDMASS Some compare the chances of all Africa uniting to say Australia and Indonesia uniting. Let's explore that. For starters, Australia has its own landmass. It is separated from Indonesia and the rest of the world by ocean, and ships and planes coming into Australia can go around or across Indonesia. Africa is one super-continent, and will be forced to get along with neighbours. The economy and geology demand it! It will more economically be able to freight cargo across vast areas by fast rail. Landlocked nations would enjoy modern rail and trucking freight infrastructure across the continent to get their products to the oceans. The sheer geopolitics of trade across such a vast continent, or even shipping around it, demands a closer economic and political union for the wealth of all. 2. A SHARED EXPERIENCE OF SUFFERING UNDER COLONIAL RULE Australia has a history of being colonised by the one European empire - the English - and eventually those separate colonies joined together and Federated. Africa has different history of being colonised and pillaged by competing European powers. While delivering diverse outcomes and languages, it also gives - more or less across such a vast region - a shared feeling of having been violated in past generations. Imperialism, resource theft, slavery, racism have all left deep wounds on African development and history. Much like China after her “century of shame” Africa may want to unify on the rebound of all that historical abuse to make sure it never happens again. 3. AVOID NEO-COLONIALISM Some argue that there are even risks of neo-colonialism doing the same thing today. This quote from The Independent in 2007 (page since taken down) illustrates what I’m saying:- >>In a world of increasing globalisation, where the small guys often get drowned out by the bigger players, especially on issues such as trade, some African leaders believe the only way for the continent to prosper is to unite. They want to replace the current African Union (AU), a largely administrative group for the 53 countries from Egypt to South Africa, with a proper African government that would control a two million-strong continental army, direct the fight against Aids, and speak with one voice in international negotiations. “The battle for the United States of Africa is the only one worth fighting for our generation - the only one that can provide the answers to the thousand-and-one problems faced by the populations of Africa,” Alpha Oumar Konare, head of the AU, said before the meeting." 'Free trade areas' => 'Customs Unions' => 'Common Markets' => 'Economic Unions' => 'Customs unions' => 'Common market' => 'Economic union' => 'Economic and monetary union' => 'Complete economic integration'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_integration#Stages The first 4 goals of the African Union are (according to wikipedia):- 1. To achieve greater unity and solidarity between the African countries and Africans. 2. To defend the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of its Member States. 3. To accelerate the political and social-economic integration of the continent. 4. To promote and defend African common positions on issues of interest to the continent and its peoples. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Union#Overview 5. ENGLISH IS THE COMMON GLOBAL LANGUAGE People raising objections that Africa has many languages forget that English is the language of business opportunity and international problem solving. For example India has 22 major languages and many hundreds of sub-dialects, but 2 official languages: Hindi and English. Indians from different linguistic groups have English road and shop signs. See Jay Walker’s 4 minute TED talk on the MANIA for learning English! Over 4 minutes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKGsfYVoZqyKl9E 6. AFRICA THE WORLD’S RICHEST SUPERPOWER! Finally, a vision of the world’s wealthiest most important super-power will take over. Full integration of Africa would make her an unstoppable military and economic force able to defend herself with ease. Bit by bit nations are forming economic communities, and gradually these are integrating and trading and forming their own amalgamated currencies. Within a few generations, the momentum should become unstoppable. A united Africa would eventually have 40% of the world’s population and be the greatest economic force on the planet. After centuries of suffering abuse, that’s a vision worth struggling for! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5vbamuFpbV4m8U

That can be an indispensable step to full consolidation of power. But it must include the entire continent, it's islands as well. Without it, foreign exploiters could still stage an assault on the areas not yet liberated in such an arrangement which could be possible to recolonize by undermining any political sub Saharan sovereignty. An All African Union government must be the goal of political unification which would render the European carved colonial boarders superfluous and ineffective, and at the same provide security within a wider union of states. It presupposes Africans assuming primary organized control, management and development of all material and mineral wealth on and inside African soil. Unification favors African people, but continued disunity and the magnification of foreign inculcated petty differences favor it's enemies and foreign exploiters. It is the Africans who will decide for themselves what independence will look like, not whites. The question is why whites are attempting to insert themselves in the sole business of Africans? Because you know the day the iron clad decision is made to move swiftly to a continental unified political body under an All African Union Government, the white man's day of exploiting the African continent of its prodigious wealth is over forever, that's why. A political and economic framework already exists and ready to be implemented at the earliest time upon liberation and unification. The emphasis will be on development.

The UK was bombed severely too, but I don't hear any dumb arguments about them overcoming it better than Africans overcoming colonialism. Japan had a much better education system then and now. But yes Sub Saharan Africa today is better than Japan in the 1940s, but being in the Japan in the 1940s is NOT a positive thing today. Also economy isn't as simple as muh IQ.

From Somalia. I would love to see Africa united under one flag. But people should understand that that could only happen if we as Africans share a vision centered by a sense of survival and brotherhood, and a desire for prosperity and security. Starting with uniting countries where people share close ethnic ties; for instance, Ethiopia along with Eriterea uniting with Somalia and Djibouti, all under one flag.

[@SM-xb7xw]

Ahmed Nouh what would the Somali people benefit from a full union? Pan africanism is an idea spawn from people who have identity issues. I understand closer ties with people of similar ethnicities but it is insane to ask unrelated people to unite.

[@TalentedTenth]

Masaman you have a CLEAR hostility towards sub-Saharan Africans. I've watched a few of your videos and felt a bias might be there, but this video confirms it. It's also clear that you read a lot but have very little understanding or ability to contextualize beyond speaking about genetics, religion etc. I hope you understand that human interactions are more complex than ones phenotype or haplogroup. The primary rationale for any regional unions are economic and political strength yet you make virtually no mention of the pros/ cons of that in this video. Were ASEAN and the EU formed for strictly racial, ethnic reasons? Of course not. If not then why would a Pan-African union be started for any reason beyond closer security and economic strength? Your paranoia around race and ethnicity has nothing to do with reality. You completely ignore that fact and babble about ethnicity as though it is the predominate rationale behind Pan-Africanism. You use that ignorance to remove the North African countries from the discussion right at the outset. The irony of course is that Libya and Egypt have been proponents of Pan-Africanism from the start, yet you make a foolish assumption that North Africans want no part of this union. You also don't make mention of the European role in dismantling successive attempts at achieving a united Africa. This video makes it seem as though genetic and religious differences are what hold Africans from continental union which is complete nonsense. Another thing I found dismissive is your choice in music to start/ end the video. It was subtle but clearly intentional. Nothing could expose your bias more clearly than labeling Pan-Africanism as a "Wacky" idea. Why is it "wacky"? Asia, the middle east, Europe etc are all examples of diverse populations, religions, ethnic groups who've bonded for economic means. Why shouldn't/ couldn't Africa do the same? Masaman this video is a big disappointment. There was nothing positive about this video nor was there any context put around how western nations (predominately the French and Americans) have systematically, repeatedly interrupted attempts at Pan-African unity (by using violence and deception). Masaman, Europeans took the better part of 1000 years to unify disparate tribes and ethnic groups into the European union. Africans won't take that long and it will be the most resource rich and dynamic of the continental regional groups over this next century. Get ready for it.

[@chimaogeibe2921]

Even though I don’t completely agree with you (I think race is a big part of Pan-Africanism, and that is ok. I can explain more if you wish) I def mostly agree with this comment. Masan didn’t analyze this issue well enough. Says he’s 1/4th African yet desperately doesn’t want us to unite. Curious

Without European infusion we may see few conflicts. At the same time we're far more countries with so many tribal groups each speaking a different language. The European infusion means countries are divided into regional blocks. The ones that were colonized by specific European countries tend to join together economically and recognize special European languages as official language. For instance, much of W Africa were part of the French Empire (including Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, etc.) the people speak French as a 2nd language. The E Africans from places like Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania speak English as a 2nd language and belong to the British Commonwealth. Even long after European administrations left the continent, the ties to their former colonial masters is still an important factor.

[@99inshallah]

So? That goes for most Arabs who are a mix of the native peoples and Arab tribes. Sudanese people are sometimes more pure Arab than some Syrians and Iraqis due to their proximity to the Peninsula and the many pure Hejazi tribes who intermarried the Nubians. And being Arab has nothing to do with race and everything to do with language and culture. Making the Sudanese 100 % Arabs no matter the genetics. A Palestinian has has alot of mixed genetics in his blood since Palestines location is where it is. But it is enough to call himself an Arab because that's his language and culture, same exact thing with a Sudanese. Arabs don't care about genetics and Pan-Arabism is in the hearts of Arabs whether they're Sudanese or Palestinian.

[@HuckleberryHim]

Amazing video Mason. One minor error. I don't believe your statement about Africans clustering together (clustering apart from all non-Africans) is true. Horn Africans have significant Near-Eastern-like ancestry, which I'm sure you are much better informed on than me since you have a few videos on those populations. This means they cluster along an African-non-African cline. Khoisans and Pygmies (Mbuti, Baka, etc), however, are a different story. They not only do NOT neatly cluster with other sub-Saharan-Africans (as Horn Africans don't), they are actually the two most divergent human populations on Earth. This actually means they each cluster on their own, as populations which are far removed from any non-San or non-Pygmy population. Overall, I could be wrong, but my understanding is that almost all sub-Saharan Africans actually do cluster with non-Africans (including North Africans) when compared to either San or Pygmy populations, excepting the small amount of non-San-non-Pygmy admixture these groups might have.

[@ajjack2322]

Horn Africans are very ancient and distinct people with no major admixtures, this a very common misconception. I have no cue what the African-non- African cline means but Somalis share genetics and cultural traditions with other somalis just like Yorubas do the same with each other.

[@HuckleberryHim]

Horn Africans, like Oromos, Amharics, and Somalis, all have significant West Eurasian ancestry: anthromadness.blogspot.com/2015/07/horn-africans-mixture-between-east.html (the writer of this blog is himself ethnically Somali) The other (and major) component is an "indigenous" East African Nilotic-like ancestry, but this is not a strong majority in most Horn Africans, who typically have at least 30% "non-African" ancestry. It's very difficult to debate that they are a mixed population.

[@ajjack2322]

The link you just posted is terribly lacking. This is constant myth about horners that they are mixed with middle easterners and the evidence you put is highly questionable, controversial at best. No critically acclaimed genetic studies has ever made that claim only a blog post has.

[@HuckleberryHim]

"In particular, we also find evidence for two admixture events in the history of Kenyan, Tanzanian, and Ethiopian populations, the earlier of which involved populations related to west Eurasians and which we date to approximately 2,700 - 3,300 years ago." arxiv.org/abs/1307.8014 "These analyses suggested that there might be distinct, differentiated African and non-African ancestries in the HOA. After partitioning the SNP data into African and non-African origin chromosome segments, we found support for a distinct African (Ethiopic) ancestry and a distinct non-African (Ethio-Somali) ancestry in HOA populations." journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1004393

@Wilhelm II. I have heard the exact same said about The United States of America. You know, The "Land of the Free" and the "Home of the Brave" ? I would not live there for all the wealth in Creation.

[@lordbane729]

@Wilhelm II. I do not dislike the US. I used to LOVE America, when it was a country that was worthy of both love and respect. I was alive when the "Cold War" was still a "thing", so I saw and understood the importance of the US in the grand scheme of things. America has become a harsh, cold, cruel empire (in the manner of the Romans), seething with monumental waste, detestable arrogance, corruption, confusion, hopeless incompetence, massive greed, unsustainable debt and a host of other pathologies too numerous to name; in this America is not alone, other nations are also similarly afflicted. But no other nation makes the same claims that America does. No other nation has been similarly blessed, as America has. This is why I have become so disappointed and disenchanted with America. You obviously never saw America in her "days of glory", as I have.

I know plenty of people from Africa that run orphanages and have trouble funding them. So I'd prefer rather than Africa becoming one huge country, or something, that instead the current countries just become more prosperous and capable of overcoming poverty. It is interesting to imagine Africa as one country, though.

DRC just joined the EAC making it the 7th largest Bloc (country) in the world with a population of close to 300 million. The combined resources of those 7 nation's will be a game changer. I chose to stress on the positives. Plus we will slowly eliminate the infighting in the DRC. Connecting the Indian and Atlantic ocean will also be a game changer in terms of trade. Much love from Kenya.

video request on the palestinian people.

Fuck shitstine

[@anthonyr963]

jews lived in the levant for 3000 years. palestinian identity was created in 1967

[@samertroll]

Anthony Richards no they didn't. 1 jews where never the first ones in palestine. after thousends of years of canaanite civilization they came around 1050bc but only took over about half of modern day palestine. they where still a minority in modern day palestine even after destroying philistine/canaanite towns and genociding the native population like there torah commands. after that 1 thousend years passed with different empires and kingdoms rulling palestine untill the jewish minority. 1 thousend years plus the 70 years shitreal has existed do not equal anything close to 3 thousend years.

[@samertroll]

Anthony Richards im not going to bother explaning the palestinian identity to your dumbass. because 1 your not worth my time 2 even if i did u would be still be ignorant and ignore what i siad. 3 the majority of historians agree that the people between the jordan river the mediterranean sea south to lebanon and east to egypt have had there own identity for thousends of years.

[@anthonyr963]

philistines were greek pagans from Aegean sea, not arab muslims from Arab peninsula. canaanites were mainly wiped out and mixed with the Israelites. jews ruled in jerusalem. romans renamed judah to palestina syrians after the greek philistines. whereever jews are in diaspora they share similar dna to the people from the Mediterranean. many jews believe they are ethnically jewish and descendents of the tribe of judah, that are native to the levant and not European. jews have managed to keep their identity for 3000 years.

The majority of the people of Sudan and Mauritania are subsaharan African.They have been taught ,esp.in Sudan,that they are Arab because many of them speak Arabic.And there are social advantages identifying with the white skin people than with dark or black skin people .The third reason is the oil rich and large Arab countries such as Saudia Arabia and Egypt use all means to keep these countries,as well as Somalia,under their control.White supremacy works in still work in many forms.This is one of the reason the military dictatorship in Sudan does not want the civilians to take charge in the country.

[@georgemitchell7792]

Kadafi was not one of the original or eve second generation creators of panafricanism.This concept started in the nineteenth century among thinkers mainly in the Americas but also in parts of Africa.President Khdafi put up much of the money to build the headquarters of the African Union but the foundation of the AU was built on ,even though a different philosophy and structure,the Organization of African Unity.It was a more conservative approach to African union.The AU was expressing the goal of Pres.Nkrumah of Ghana,Pres.Nasser of Egypt,Pres.Ture of Guinea Pres.Keita of Mali,Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia and several other presidents.They lost the vote in the sixties.The AU includes the predominantly Arab states of the north as well.Observer status can be given to countries largely of African descent in the diaspora for example Haiti and Jamaica.This also include countries where they are identifiable minorities such as America and Brazil.I hope the day will come when the oppressed African minorities of Yemen,Iraq,Pakistan,India and the north African countries will be recognized and supported.It might be their only hope.

[@andrewstrongman305]

This is an excellent video. The goal of a Pan-African nation has ever remained an impossible dream largely due to the historically tribal nature of African cultures. Religion has been another barrier. Even so, to most of the world, an African is anyone from Africa, regardless of region. With the spread of technology and the infrastructure required for modern societies, it's possible that African nations might become a Federation of States, each semi-autonomous and comprised of smaller municipalities run by local councils. This system works in Australia, sort of. It's widely considered that we have too many tiers of government, but such a system could work better in Africa as every minority would have a voice. The economic incentives derived from a Sub-Saharan African Federation would be incredible. If prosperity for all is the carrot, perhaps Tribal identity might become less important than National identity?

The diaspora returning is the times that will bring sub-saharan Africa together. We are Africa. Their blood is of many tribes. Pan Africanism was stoked in the fires of the Americas. The only qualifier to being African is skin color. And for this concept within the Sub Saharan Africa to take hold is an introduction brought with the return of her children. The idea that unity is stronger than division against external forces. We are seeing flirtations with this concept with ECOWAS. A single monetary unit and people moving freely across borders is another. Developing a federal government with a national military for a common defense is not far off. As a child I would draw an African lion breaking chains, roaring with power. This was over 40 years ago. The lion that had been held in bondage has stirred and flicked it tail. Its awake and the chains that bind him is struggling to hold him down. The lion will break those bonds and roar loudly enough for the world to hear.
