Pan Africans, enemy of the people.
The first thing that is obvious about Pan African is Pan. Pan a Greek word whose cardinal meaning is all.
So then we Pan Africans could be called All Africanist - we espouse a philosophy that embraces all Africans – seek the union of all of Africa and all its people.
Now lets look at All. ALL - 1: the whole of 2: greatest possible 3: every one of
Does our All and Pan Africans embrace the whole of Africa, every one of Africa’s children or at least the greatest possible number of Africans?
Does this philosophy that warmly embrace Mugabe has a slight embrace for Morgan Tsvangiria? Just one example. The one I’ll use in this discourse.
But of course Pan Africans are Pan Africans.
What else do I know about Pan? Pan, "a broad shallow open vessel or container."
Of course I am for a philosophy that is broad in scope. But the shallowness of the practice and application does contradict its potential as a vessel open to input of creativity and inspiration. (A dogma. Not unlike a religion)
Being true to its application, we use this vessel to Pan - for “gold” - a Moses that will deliver us. We wash away tons of perceived irrelevance - dirt, ideas and potentials' - to find our bright and shining prince.
What will become of the dirt we discard?
When we turn our back on Morgan Tsvangiria; for example, who will he turn to for council, fellowship, and support when others elevate him to the Presidency of Zimbabwe; if not soon, but eventually? Who will hold him to account?
The king is dead. Long will he be dead. No hope for continuity here.
Again, using Zimbabwe as an example, we invest everything in Mugabe, and, when our 85 year old mentor reaches the end there is not room for us to make a difference with the likely successor who may obviously be garnered by the likely interests and thus fulfilling our narrow Pan African delusion.
I am of the opinion that we must reinvent and re-forge the Pan into a bucket; being inclusive of our brothers and sisters, celebrating and acknowledging, and seeking out the arrays that unites us rather than clink to and heighten perceived differences.
As that Pan African I am a conciliator and a reconciler for All Africans regardless of our temperate parochial opinions.
I could never have dreamt that in Jamaica there would be a JLP
Government that would be more socialist than the socialist PNP - a JLP whose platform party that is enacting the very programs (free education) the socialist PNP did not enact over all their years in office - even when they (PNP) had ultimate power. There are no saints nor demons out there. There is just us - each as himself. I am all that I perceive - you are your perceptions.
All the ideas and opinions among us is from us, and when we condemned any of us we condemn the all of us - all of who we are.
When I turn my back on any of us I turn my back on the very part of me I will not embrace. For me to love me I am required to love all of me. There is no conditionality to love. I must get to embrace me as I am and as I am not to truly embrace the vision of Africa that's is worthy of our father Marcus Garvey.
My mother is not less honored as my mother because I disagree with her on some essential points. When will we likewise honor Clarence Thomas and Morgan Tsvangiria for they and we share in common? Do we know what we share in common? Do we dare look?
To the extent I/you/we can look ourselves in the mirror and be in love with everything I/you/we see; to that extent I/you/we are able to be a peace and ease with I/you/we and anyone.
M.arcus Garvey's harsh criticism of His Imperial Majesty did not excommunicate either from the race. Being frank with our selves and our friends is a core value required for being a friend.
How will we ever speak with those with whom we disagree when we dare tell our beloved Emperor what we know too well? He is naked. Sir, you have no close on.
Who among us has the moral authority to speak with both, for example, Mr. Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangiria?
Until being a Pan African is reinvent as being an instrument for what's possible, Pan Africans are enemy of the people.
Time to end the dialect-ic civil war and take responsibility for the juggernauting genocide and once again stand in position at the fore of the dreams and aspirations or the people.

Brother a very inspiring post, but so is the preacher sermon when delivering the Devil Doctrine from behind the pulpit, speaking the illusions of Religion, first of all, I Think it is Time for Black people to get away from labels and invented symbols and begin to deal with the reality of the Black World Life condition, and that reality is, all that look like you are not you, because similarities are about more than appearances, but is more about deeds and action.
The Reality of the Black world life condition, has nothing to do with geographical divide of Black People, but of the collective divide, because regardless of where we are as Black people, our collective condition is the same, but we are treated different by those that have caused the difference in the divide of Black People, because such an act serve to their best interest, so to attempt to romanticize the Black Spirit ( attitudinal behavior ) and not to take into the reality that there are those of the same Phenotype of us, that has taken on a complete different Spirit from that which was of our life original Behavioral expression, meaning our Divine Spirituality, which was Divinely expressed, one toward the other.
Therefore, such can not be said by those that wear their Blackness in self despise, the reality is that, by wishing things to be as they should, does not verify that things are as we wish them to be, and in order to get back to the original Black society we were once a member of, the first order of business is to recognize those that have chose to be Traitors to the Black Return, to our Divine Life way of living, which will come only after the Black World has been United again, absent of those with a record of aiding and abetting those that did cause the great Divide of Black People.
The Reality is, Garvey and the the Royalty of Hallie Salasse Ethiopia could not ever have been united, because the course of Path the two chose to Travel, was in conflict and in promoting Divine Unity, there is no Compromise to this fact, because such a Status of Relationship, and such a quality of Unity, transcend politics, requiring that the Spirit of us all, must be known by its Divine quality and by the attitude and behavior expressed by us, which must serve to the greater Good for the Collective All to benefit from such Deeds.
If I am confronted by a Fool and I know that Fool was not always a Fool, I am not to deal with such a Fool based on how the Fool originally behaved, I must remain Divinely Focus and deal with what I am Confronted with now, because as we Black folks can See, those of us who can, Afrika and the Black World is not as it once was, and to get it back to its Divine State of Condition, we must deal with the Reality that has gotten Afrika and the Black World, to be in its present state of condition, and the way to do that, is most certainly not to romanticize about what once were, but to deal with what is, and get about the action that will cause it to become as it originally was, and the way to do that, is to recognize that Many Black Folks have been made to become a Fool for the people with a History of Lying, Deceiving, and Abusing Black People, so much so, until what you now observe of the Black World, Is As It Is, and The Cause for Such A condition, has nothing to do with Labels and Romantic Wants, but is because there are those amongst us that have been influenced by those that did and do oppress Black People, they have come to be, angles of such a Profane Behavior, that which caused the Fall of a Once United Black Nation, and those who now wear the Mind of our Oppressors, regardless of the Time such a conversion took place, it is that profane Spirit of us now, that must not be embraced by Divine Black Beings and must be dealt with precisely in a fundamental terminating way, with such action being dedicated to Reclaiming Afrika for the Afrikans, and Uniting The Black Nation , which will come from careful, percise, and meticulus Purging of the Diseased Viruses the Black Traitors have become, and now to serve as a serious infection that prevent the Rise of a once United Black Nation, because the divine black being obligation is to reclaim the Land that once was under the Control of Use, by the Black so call Afrikans and to Unite The Black World, an obligation Black Folks has, that we all today Run from, prolonging the Demise of a Once divine United black Nation
Only the People of Afrika Zimbabwe must be allowed to determine its Leader, without out side influence and when out side of Afrika influence seem to have the control of such a Political social matter, then Mugabe should maintain his Stand in the interest of the People of Zimbabwe.
No Puppet Government should be allowed to blossom in Zimbabwe and all those that are now in Afrika must be dissolved by the continental Black so call Afrikan People and all of us that have been forced away from our Mother And Father Land..
