stokely speaks black power back to pan africanism

If you see an African in Europe, you do not say that he is an African. Wherever you see them, in any part of the world, you call them Chines or what not. The same is true for East Indians the same for Filipinos. Even in America, when you see a red Indian, you do not say he is an American you say he is an Indian. Whether he is Chinese, Japanese or African. The first thing you call him is a Japanese, because a person is defined, really, at first by his physical presence, or in terms of his ancestral stock. But no one calls him a Japanese American. Yet probably that Japanese cannot speak Japanese at all he may be the third or fourth generation in America. You say simply that there goes a Japanese - period. If you are in San Francisco, for example, and you see a Japanese or a Chinese walking down the street, you do not say that there goes an American Japanese or Japanese American. Now they are planning to impose on us grave cultural divisions and, most of all, to divide us by naming us different things. Then there are political divisions and economic divisions again imposed on us by Europeans. There are geographical divisions, countries such as Senegal and Mauritania, Mozambique and Guinea, created by Europeans as they struggled for the wealth of Africa. Whether we want it or not, there are divisions among black Africans living in the Unites States, the Caribbean and on the African continent, divisions which have been imposed on us by Europeans.
