They aren't just simply prominent figures; they're actually the foundations. If you look historically, at the big players on/in Pan-Africanism from Africa or the Caribbean, you'll see that even they, were influenced by Aframs who came before them with pan-Africanist, agendas.
Aframs from mainland USA were/are pred, Pan-Africanist; whether consciously or subconsciously; simply based on the fact that they see all "afro" people as "black", which lead(s) to them historically looking out for people who share their race (how they see "blackness") even when they have no relation to the people in question. This is why Garvey came to the USA to start his movement.
Simple, historical analysis and breakdown of:
what have afroamericans done for non-ados blacks, domestically and internationally
vs
what have non-ados blacks done for afroamericans, internationally and domestically
Simple observation(s) from/on the interaction and/or levels of acceptance to an outsider in a variety of spaces
history
objectively speaking, those were all fact's.
Since Im stating that Aframs are the foundation of modern Pan-Africanism; Im highlighting the level foreign black peoples/nations have absorbed the influence/impact of the AfroAmerican, Pan-Africanist (which comes with things such as black nationalism, black consciousness, black identity etc...), spirit vs how they were, before those influences.
We're going in a circle now king. It seems people in the #ADOS movement have struggles communicating without sloganeering, metaphors, and other immeasurable catch phases.
i.e. "They aren't just simply prominent figures; they're actually the foundations."
"Simple observation(s) from/on the interaction and/or levels of acceptance to an outsider in a variety of spaces"
"which lead(s) to them historically looking out for people who share their race"
All that is hollow sloganeering to me king.What do these phrases mean in a literal sense? I run into the same issue when LGBTQ or Feminists talk about their perspectives.
This has turned into an ideological gossip instead of a scholarly discourse. I'm good.
