Lol you're not staring up anything.....i couldn't give a monkey what other blacks in the US thinks.....the fact of the matter is, there is always power in numbers....you have millions of Africans over there and that number gives you some kind power and visibility!
Whilst for us here in the UK, we are like 1 or 1 1/2% of the total population, so what do you expect?? And about the unity thing....thats rubish also! Most Africans here in the UK do work along side eachjust fine! When we arrived here, we were welcomed by all sorts of Africans....Guineans, Ghanains, Nigerians ect.....
Many of my brothers's businesscontacts are Ethiopians and Nigerians, that shows that we are working together on bulding businesses and so forth.....
Wehave a long way but i think we are doing just fine......

I actually agree with you about not caring what blacks in the US Think. I believeYOU personallyreally don't care what African-Americans think of you, but I also believe that what we do, what we wear, our music, our culture, how we talk and act is a focus for MANY black Britishs, (mostly I've seen under 25)specifically and Africans throughout the world in general.

I do not think there is NO unity with regard to Black in the US, Blacks in Britian, or Blacks in Africa.....what I do believe is that there isn't ENOUGH UNITY, and those that have their own self interest in mind are more abundant than those that have their people in mind OR they would rather blame another, and not act. Thus no unity. We can't talk to each other, we can't relate to each other, we can't disagree with each other with want to harm each other.

An Example I've been giving recently is more than 90% of AFrican Americans disgaree with Bush yet only 45% of Us voted, and that's with an increase of 4.5 million. Even our decenting voices could not unify. NO UNITY

There have been more than 8 African-American candidates for President since Shirley Chisholm in 1968. But they never garnered more than 10% of the African-American vote. NO UNITY.
