Black Americans have become the most important ppl in the diaspora and it isn’t by mistake. There’s a level of worldwide influence that black Americans have that no other group in the diaspora has and that’s going to breed jealousy whether we like it or not.
We have become the true figurehead of worldwide black liberation and the metaphysical gatekeeper of true justice; if these other groups in the diaspora want to replace us they’re going to have to do some work outside of crying about the lack of attention we give them.
A Somalian dude in a video that Tariq was using for yet another of his black immigrant tirades expresses how the rest of the diaspora should think about themselves.
He was being interviewed about black Americans and he said (paraphrasing of course):

“ADOS has been in America for 500 yrs so they’re ethnically American; we don’t need their help however because we have everything we need here to be prosperous.”
This man believed in the ability of his own ppl to lift themselves and he understood the one thing so many black ppl in the diaspora including black Americans fail to realize:

You can’t unite with ppl and be effective when you’re incompetent.
It’s simple addition: incompetence + incompetence = more incompetence. Black Americans have a long way to go; however we have elevated our group due to our level of competence. We continually create and innovate and in order to be our level you have to do the same.
You also have to believe that you can do the same like that Somalian dude. When you can do that you can focus truly on yourselves and your competence will bring the attention you desire. If we’re all Africans then you have the same ability that we do over here.
