Tell them all, bro. We loved African Americans so much while growing up in Africa that anyone who was exceptionally handsome was nick-named, Negro. I still know a few who bear that name with pride even though it is not popular among African Americans today.
As you say thanks to activist intellectuals from the Diaspora, remember that it is our turn to return the solidarity by focusing some of our major work on the conditions of the Diaspora. Now that the Diaspora is the sixth region of the African Union Commission, maybe saying thanks is a little alienating; we should just join hands and keep up the good work.
