Sometimes it seems that the people with the most fire for African progressare either Diasporans or mixed-race "Blacks".

While I was in college, there was one mixed-race sister who was the only person I knew with freckles and a fro. She had the most intelligently progressive mind, and I swear would have been my wife if there were not a fewirreconcilible issues with her. She seemed more involvedwith African politics (particularly Zimbabwe and Nigeria) than the continentals that were at the school. You will find this fiery attitudein many groups of African-Americans and mixed-race peopleall across the States, but sometimes I wonder if it is a bit over-zealous...especially in the eyes of continental Africans.

Are some Diasporans & mixed-race people over-zealouswith African-Consciousness???
