Eazy , I really do not get your point now and you're confusing a lot of people with such a liberal view.
Afrika is one continent and it doesn't matter if we originated in Madagascar or Libya but the fact remains we are Afrikans. The settlers are non-Afrikans and will never be. I do not know then now what informs your conclusion that we are settlers in Afrika.....Did you even read what you sent or you just sent it mAfrika. We should try by all means not to divide Afrika because we are only doing what was started by the settlers in the settlers Berlin Conference. I hope you think carefully in future before riding in the waves of the liberals mAfrika. A white men is a settler (born in Afrika or Europe, Loyal to Afrika or not). We cannot be settlers in Afrika...in Eurpoe yes.
