Pan-Africanism
Division is a tool used to weaken groups of people. Through unity comes strength and when one is attempting to obtain control over a group of people weakening these people is the first step. In "Pan Africanism" , Kwame Ture discusses the division of Africa. When one recognizes someone of Japaneses descent, despite what part of Japan they are from, they are classified as Japanese. In contrast, a pseron of african descent is specifically classified by culture or ethnic divisions. However, if one is of African descent they should no long involve themselves with these divisions. They should recognize that before anything else they are African. They should be identified as only African because that is the essence of their true identity. However, when divisions are set in place their is a higher possibility of animosity between certain groups evolving. Therefore people, who are one in the same, begin to grow hate towards each other. The unity that was once in place now no longer exist. Thus, the strength once established between those people has detiorated into weakness.
