No, there is more diversity between tribes than between Africa and Europe. Each tribe however is no where near as admixed and multicultural as a Black American.

A diversity of opinion is not a bad thing. I'm glad you have one.
Yea I know that but I know there's others with similar opinions that read the thread, so I'll argue until the point where he has no comeback and spew nonsense like his last reply.
Sidenote: did the Abyssinian girl ever comebackwanted to know if she spoke triginya too
lol, man she in Bolivia with @iZzo after her catfish episode. I wanted her to teach me Tigrinya so I could finally holla at Eritrean chicks. When they call me "Shakuri" a nikka be like
Smh
Both you and poitier are taking an attack stance I'm done, I'm just passing on information. Your emotions got the best of u both. This is not a competition...
I hope u both get enlightened at some point.

You don't know Tigriniya grandpops?
My mother told me we have Afar blood, but she said she don't acknowledge it.
Damn y'all Ethiopians and tribal politics. 
Your position is the position that most pro black people start off with once they get knowledge... nikka everyone holds that view. This is an evolved view point- that isn't against anyone.. just very pro black american focused. .

lmao, hell naw. My immediate fam is Amharas culturally. I got lots of Eritrean aunts that speak Tigrinya tho. That language is hard as fukk, and it ain't close to the hardest semitic language we got cuz Tigrai is even harder.
lmao, yeah your moms a total Habesha. My folks will be like "Yeah, they Ethiopian too.....
" smfh, I'm surrounded by shameless racists. My cousin half AA and was a bad ass kid so they used to talk BIG shyt and he understood every word mad as shyt. 
I almost agree with this, but I view it as mutual aid rather than yall helping us. Collaboration helps everyone out, Africa is gonna have an economic explosion so the whole idea of assistance will be pointless when yall do get it together. That's why I said Pan Africanism starts economically, none of us are perfect at all but breaking bread or bringing knowledge to the table is a great start for self improvement and unity. I'd love to see Nigerian investors buy properties in Detroit and make them useful for the black people of that community, I'd like AA architects help construct homes and communities for people in Haiti, and I wouldn't be against Cuban doctors teaching nursing and running clinics in Zambia. Our commonality is that our people are fukked up in some kinda way, we should seek to help each other just as soon as we'd help ourselves. I've seen dirt poor people in America and Africa, I don't rate one above the other cuz they both in a fukked up place.

I'm sorry but this is complete and utter bullshyt. I almost want to neg you
. You're really going to pretend Marcus Garvey, Belafonte, Stokley Carmichael, and yes, even Farrakhan didn't do anything for your people 
? You conveniently ignore organizations like Maafa (http://www.africanholocaust.net/ah_about.htm), which is run by a diverse array of blacks from all over the globe and defintely supports your plight, and educators like Kwame Anthony Appiah and Micere Mugo who preserve your history and culture.I'm a Shona/Tumbuka but I probably know more about West African, South African and African American history than my own (on my father's side that is). You're not unique in that sense, not even close. African American history is taught in African schools.
Poitier doesn't appreciate what blacks do worldwide. If anything, he wants us to fail since he clearly derives his sense of self worth from being "better" than non-American blacks (equivalent to the cac cry of "at least I'm not a ******").
Plenty of us care about your cause, you just don't appreciate it for some reason (which is fine).

I do agree with the rest of your post talking about those people and some notable names. You mention some people who lived their lives as Americans and really aren't the norm but it's all good. I know that I've done business w plenty of east Africans and some act funny towards AA.. only me and 1 chick were treated fairly.. the others who weren't east African at all were shytted on. I don't really have experiences or know Africans personally that really give two shyts bout AA's but I will def take ur word for it cuz ur one of the posters I respect and not gonna debate w.
I respect you too.
I think most black people generally speaking (African American, African, Caribbean, Brazilian, Black British etc.) don't care about people outside of their immediate communities to be honest, and it wouldn't be a stretch to say most human beings in general don't. Likewise, most African Americans I know and am friends with don't partake in African activism (which is fine obviously), and don't really care about Africa at all. Most people are just not into activism in my experience (props for real, for partaking btw) especially if it doesn't affect their lives or family.
I do hear what you're saying, just pointing out that there are Africans like myself who follow contemporary African American issues and sincerely value your success.

This may be ignorant but at the end of the day,I dont care how many studies they do, Ill have a hard time believing it if its from a white person if its talking about black people. Even if its innocent and inconsquential.
