Black Pan-Africanist Answers 3

What happened to you? While engaging with a Foundational Black America (FBA)/ADOS group—ostensibly rooted in Black solidarity—I was met with overtly xenophobic comments about African and West Indian immigrants “leeching benefits” from African Americans. These attacks weren’t isolated remarks but part of a broader pattern of anti-immigrant rhetoric that fractures Pan-African unity.
What would you like to see happen? I’d like FBA/ADOS organizers and influencers to publicly renounce xenophobic propaganda, embrace genuine Pan-African ideals of continental solidarity, and adopt accountability measures—such as codes of conduct or third-party oversight—to prevent future exclusionary discourse. (2) Re-committing to a truly inclusive Pan-Africanism is essential for collective progress.
How do you think others can help? I think allies and community members can counter xenophobic narratives by: (1) Elevating accurate histories of African diasporic cooperation. (2) Calling out disinformation and divisive rhetoric whenever it appears. (3) Championing organizations and policies that foster cross-continental collaboration and shared belonging, thereby diluting the impact of anti-immigrant propaganda.
