They made us think being African was a curse and in all actuality it is the greatest blessing given to us
Pitiful
African American, son of the Diaspora here. I'm definitely down with panafricanism.
Thank you
Me too❤🖤💚

Stop calling yourself African American or European. You're AFRICAN period!
Why trying to be someone or something that you are NOT. Those who label you such things doesn't even accept you as their equal.
We need a young man like you, to move and make a shift in our mindset.
Thanks for your speech.
Asian-American here. I 100% support Pan-Africanism. I hope see my African brothers and sisters unite and take their continent's future in their own hands
Beautifully expressed and said, I agree that the movement towards pan africanism especially in the youth is paramount for our development. As Africans lets fall back in love with our home and break free of these western biases!!!

Truly remarkable and insightful words from an innovative person! I will work to live and strive by this idea and uphold the moralization behind it.

Good luck i dont think this will ever work try getting all regions to get a long they wont
@@dystopianaverice1981 Don't forget about the ethnic groups
I call for the creation of the United States of Africa. That’s the ultimate goal of Pan-Africanism. One people, one economy, one country
Well-spoken talk with a key core message!
White and the rest of the world will pay for what they've done once we are in power
Thanks for your true said from 🇫🇷🇨🇮
Preach Thomas!! PREACH!!!!
This is awesome, Africa would be in a better place if younger african people can gain access to educational programs that focuses on Pan Africanism, programs that will raise awareness about our beautiful rich Africa. We need mindful leaders with great leadership skills. Time is running out, action is needed soon . May God of heaven who is the God of our ancestors help our continent to raise intelligent selfless leaders
Outstanding!!
I'm encouraging the African youths to take their time and understand pan africanism. Our ancestors did a lot of work. They created an enabling environment for us to bild africa and resist neo colonialism
I love ma continent and i hope ro make a change too.Go Panafricanism!
Let’s get it done!
How?
Good information, keep the coordinations.
good job brother keep up the good work
Nice bro we need gentleman like keep it up keep the spirit we are behind you
I'm with You
Well said sir
Smart and insightful.
Way to go!
THE ONLY REASON AFRICA IS FREE TODAY IS BECAUSE THE LEADERS ARE UNITED. AND WORKING TOGETHER TO BENEFIT AND LIFT ALL AFRICANS FROM ABJECT POVERTY DESPITE THE CHALLENGES NOW THAT THEY ARE TREADING WITH EACH OTHER, AND KEEP MONEY IN THEIR COUNTRIES,THEY ARE VERY SOON BE IN THE DRIVING SEAT. YOU ARE A VERY WISE, BRAINY AND INSPIRATIONAL YOUNGER MAN. KEEP UP THE VISION AND BE BLESSED.
Stop dreaming,afrika is not free
Proud of u ma guy
Hey....I am a pan Africanist....and I’m a Nigerian.
12 million subs and this video has only 7,000 views hmm...
Lol he just described American politics and the ruling elite when he said “who would want to live in a country....”
inspiring young man- this makes my heart sing
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'm a proud African
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Look within our selves,
❤❤❤❤
We are Africans we love Africa
💯🙌🏾
No one knows when the hour of Africa's Redemption cometh. It is in the wind. It is coming. One day, like a storm, it will be here. When that day comes all Africa will stand together.
It is finally here in Kenya
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
👏🏾👏🏾☀️
👊🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Nice speech
The time has come for us to express - through action - the dreams that we have for Africa. Follow @panafricanlifestyle if you rep the motherland. 🌍
Salud 🥂
We all Africans should like and proud of being Africans
Wow
Africa should unite and end tribalism!
You cant get from one point to another without first starting with one point. Should I elaborate?
Yes Kaka - "We have some here" ---------------It is too obvious -----and away with the later/gradualism mindset -----We want to live while we are alive. Love the reference to Several Countries and African linguistic groups -------This wide and holistic view of Africa, if taught in African schools would transform the mindset, not of the 'leaders' but of the led.
nice video, but I'm from Ethiopia but there isn't famine at least after the 80's, different than elsewhere in Africa
PanAfricanism! PanAfricanism!!PanAfricanism!!! We love ya :)
The world is an eternity away from anything near this happening.
🇪🇹💚💛❤
I have 1 opinion and 2 questions after watching. 1. My opinion - Africa absolutely can be an amazing, united country. No doubt at all. It could take off economically at super speeds due to untapped resources. 2. I got lost me at 8:30, that it can be done without ethnic barriers / ethnic intolerances... My question to that would be: is Pan Africanism for only the original descendants of Africa, or anyone who supports it? Could the country be a "melting pot" of anyone who desires to be part of it? Thanks.
No
AU board of governors which are the nations head of states with a chair and vice chair
He should have mentioned Emperor Hailesilasie of Ethiopia.
Umoja ni nguvu
PANAFRIKA!!!
Am 100% panafrican
an A.U. afrcican union must have a federal reserves system to protect its common dollar
Nice speech but it shows you didn't dig much enough. Shame that you didn't mention about Emperor Haileselassie of Ethiopia if you are talking about Panafricanism
That’s the problem with us, he’s not saying he knows everything. But he’s presenting what he knows so far. He has nothing to be ashamed of for not knowing about Haileselassie. We should teach other about African history. And don’t get angry if he doesn’t mention Ethiopian history. He doesn’t know everything, but he knows some and that’s beautiful... just teach people what you know and be ready for new knowledge
@@okbaygoitom3557 halie sellasie was an imperialist backed by the west
A.U. afroican union with an AU capitol thats a dsitric separate from any conutry
Pan-Africanism is the only way to rescue Africa but its unfortunately that only a handful population are in support of this ideology Africans I urge u especially the youths join this movement.
Let's vote for unite stateof African one country one currency one ring will rule all.
We are African but we still use the bazungu languages when will be free?
Corruption is in human blood more in underdeveloped countries
PAN AFRICANISTS JOIN THE REST OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS FOR A UNITED AFRICA NOW !! WE DON'T NEED THE WORLD VIEW TO MARCH FOR OUR DESTINY. JOIN US ON SEPTEMBER 30TH , MARCHING ACROSS THE COUNTRIES OF AFRICA ....FOR A UNITED AFRICA NOW.
If you can't protect what is yours, it's not yours.
Im not 100% sure but PanAfricanism dosent work . just use Pan-Liberty-ism@ 7.28 what about teaching Economics
What unity is he talking about? When was Africa united ?
It has to be otherwise it is doomed.
I think the only issue i have with his portrayal of Pan Africanism is his exemption of socialism. The ideology or objective of Pan-africanism is the total unification of the continent under scientific socialism.
Africans are far too religious bro. I think Africans simply need an Industrial revolution fueled by their own interest. Capitalism can be successful in Africa if it's FOR AND BY Africans.
I dont agree because ther are better solutions
Can an African American be a pan Africanist
Yeah Diaspora counts too
Pan Arabic unity
Yeah, Arab people must unite.
Why are y'all here ew smh let us have our movement get off of this video
Now imperialism is attempting to water down Pan-Africanism to a nondescript definition. We knew this deliberate confusion would finally show itself, and here we are.
Alot of Africans come over with disrespect toward Foundational Americans and don't use TV as an excuse for calling us Akatas.
I don't think it would work because of the culture present in different African countries, and the different values present in those countries. Sure Africa, if united with peace would most certainly prosper, so would a "United World" do, but that's a perfect world, and that can not happen today. Especially with the Chinese "investments" into certain African countries, it won't happen soon. Pan-Africanism is a dream that probably won't come true.
William plecker is your Master
You cannot be Pan Afrikan if you’re religious!
Rule number 1
Why do you say that? I can’t tell people what I to practice we be religious and Pan-Africanist I am one.
