I must say, I'm surprised at the statistics in this poll so far.
Alot of it has to do with the fact that many diasporic Afrikans are not educated about what happened to Afrika after our enslaved ancestors were taken. Most are still catching up on what happened before yt even showed up, or some of us, (not necessarily members of this forum), are unconcerned about Afrika because we don't see ourselves as Afrikan, and therefore think it to be unrelated to us personally.

Needless to say, it's something of importance. We need to stay on top of what is going on wherever our people may be!

Perhaps those of us who are on top of what's going on can be an aid to those of us who feel overwhelmed.

E se for your post, MS
