Dead and Living Tribes
Africa has many instructive traits. Most non-African people see Africa as a monolithic culture. It is not and never was. There are many tribes, nations (real nations based on holistic paradigms and not political or economic impositions), cultures, languages, ethnicities, etc. The Hausa, Songhai, Ashanty, Yoruba, Hutu, Tutsi, Zulu, Igbo, Wolof, etc. are all very different.
The idea of a monolithic Africa is a fantasy. Maybe it will become a reality, maybe not.
This exact same principle applies to the humans of any other continent / geological location. To see Europeans, for example, as monolithic, is a serious error for the exact same reason (and lest you bring up the European Union, keep in mind that this political entity exists to serve an artificial banking network that has annihilated European cultural diversity, and diluted its economy to the point of utter ruin). You will see this among all humans. None are exempt.
And lest anyone think otherwise, there is no evidence that this implies or proves superiority or inferiority among any of these categories of humans. To impose this paradigm on the perception and examination of human ethnicities is to contradict reality and base an ideology upon a disease of the human ego.
What were once tribes, are now ruled by a conglomerate of umbrella corporations. Tribes had to adapt corporatocracy so that their form of nationalism and tribalism can survive in the modern economic environment. To the traditional thinking of Japan, for example, there are only Japanese, and gaijin. But the gaijin’s money is just as good as anyone else’s.
It's no different from any others. They all divide humanity in the same way: their divisions are defined by flesh that rots, and tribes that eventually fall. The occasional backlash of nationalism is nothing more than an urge to return to an idealized past that only existed as an extension of primate behavior, and whose social and economic conditions became extinct and cannot ever be reproduced.
The concept of the eternal, i.e., a social order based upon a unity with absolute reality is incomprehensible to them. To understand and accept this leads to the development of a universal method of perception and thought that allows all to cherish the beauty and uniqueness of all humans, to not only perceive but to live in symbiosis with all (even if war becomes inevitable), and to transcend our own spiritual limitations. And as I have written and said many times, the problems are political, but the solutions are spiritual.
We have come to a point in history where this is no longer an idealistic dream. It is a survival tactic.
