Pan-africanism is not always build around the absurd concept of an "african race", pan-africanism (as considered by Thomas Sankara for example) is above all a way for africans to bring themselves together in order to be strongest against imperialism. It could be clearly seen as a material necessity rather than a racial fantasy.

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.

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...

Awesome video. I love to watch your videos several times over, gaining a new perspective each time. How about a video about if each state in the United States were its own country.

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.

I think many, if not most, white people believe (at least theoretically) in racial equality to an almost religeous extent, even if they hold on to racial prejudice (?subconsciously) through various proxies, and most of those who are consciously racist only believe in differences between races, possibly including the relative superiority of some, not in the extreme view that non-whites are sub-human and excluded from morality. That's part of the reason white supremacists are so loud: They're surrounded by people telling them they're wrong. Granted, this is mostly just my opinion from growing up in rural Texas, being exposed to media, and having some very basic knowledge of European culture and politics.

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.

@h1mb But most Sub Saharan Africans are of the same race though?

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. kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKR9rrRrYaq9kdI.html 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! kzread.info/dash/bejne/o56sm5qIoLOrlcY.html

I totally agree

Why do you think the African Union is light years behind the EU and ASEAN? I also noticed towards the end at the '400 states' part you used the former provinces of Kenya. Anyway, I think that the African Union will opt for a common currency and all that EU stuff instead of a unified state.

Good analysis.

Pan Africans can work if you eliminate the idea of genetic blood line tribes as in allowing people outside your bloodline to join the tribe of the land they are living on. And to get to judging people on the content of their character not on their blood line. Economics would be the main need for a united Africa.

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.

Idk why you excluded northern Sudan from this map when most of the so called 'Arab Sudanese' are just Arabized Nubians. Meaning that even though they speak Arabic they are still genetically Nubian with a little bit of Beja and Habesha mixed in.

@99inshallah

3 жыл бұрын

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. Being black and Arab are NOT mutually exclusive, only to racists who only see color.

There's a difference between africa's unity and uniting africa to make it a country

Can I just say that "Bantu" is pronounced with a hard 'B'

Masaman - Hey bro, always, excellent video. Salams from Africa. Do you know that Africa now has one passport and one common trading area(the biggest of it's kind)? Just a thought, I think Africa might be the best candidate to unite partly because her various countries are already built on staggering diversity of many ancient unaffiliated tribes, cultures and religions ulike Europe which is mostly single people groups as countries who naturally would get a long. More recent Non-African immigrants are adding to this complexity yet we are somehow holding together so if with all this odds we have national unities holding up, them possibly Africans can be the best teachers of integration. I might not like all the repercussions and outcomes of it but perhaps there is hope for a united Africa.

As a South African I think it can be good for us if sub saharan Africa can unite. this black on black violence and xenophobic attacks where Africans become foreigners in this African soil, its not good and the western countries are laughing at us. I also believe we can grow economically if we can unite, Haile Selassie came up with idea of united Africa and he started African union and then Gaddafi re-ignited it and they killed him for it.

200 million Africans still practice their own religions and many other practice combing traditional religions with Abrahamic religions. The anti-colonial resentment is still very true in the continent and could trigger movements to restore all of their ethnic religions.

One thing wich i dont really understand. Why its so hard fore some tribes to live peacefull together in one Contry even when they are from the same ethnic group?

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.

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.
