The Afro blogosphere (except for Afrikaners and other non-Black North African populations) is a universe of influencers who are seen by their readers (wrongly) as celebrities or experts. I developed on an academic basis the fundamental difference between 'celebrity', 'success', 'notoriety' and 'influence'
And what do you define by Afropolitanism?
I do not define afropolitanism ... I deconstruct the myths around its reality. It is a term born of the Afrikaners of Cape Town in South Africa a Town 80% white ...
What kind of myths?
Afropolitanism does not exist as a sociological fact, nor historical, nor nowhere in the Academia. This is the fact of black writers obsessed with Western validation. Indeed, only female diaspora (rarely male) literature is fond of this finished form of Stockholm syndrome. To be anything but 'African' under the pretext that a place of birth or dwelling determines the anthropological reality of people! As if a Bantu was born to practice skiing. Even a salmon migrating in tropical water, remain a cold-water fish! Why pretend that we are no longer Africans when we have tried the Berlin metro?
I make a demonstration, not a fictitious fixation, based on Western psychology ... Unfortunately, this is the strongest myth: Afropolitanism is an Afrikaner creation because the Bantu of Southern Africa refuse them the " The name of Africans ... Why would naturalized Africans define themselves as Afro-Americans, Afropeans or others? Would they be closer to the Afrikaners in terms of identity? Certainly, they share a colonial vision of their relationship to Africa, eternal land to be Westernized, but from there, to establish a fiction as a scientific truth. I needed to react.
About you the black diaspora is important in what? When it aims to integrate, itself it’s in general for its own purpose, is the representativeness in the Western structures an asset or a disadvantage for Afro Self-Determination?

"Afropolitanism is an Afrikaner creation because the Bantu of Southern Africa refuse to name them Africans"
The Black Diaspora represents 4.3% of Afro-Americans, 6% Brazilians and Caribbean and finally 1 to 2% Africans outside their continent ... It is a minority in Number but economically significant for the black world that it maintains under infusion ... Its complexes of integration in the West, I do not understand them. I fight to have multinationals on my continent, not to work for NASA or a senate in Europe. Especially since these same people criticize the European industries that exploit Africa while working and paying their taxes in Europe! I consider diasporic only those who descend from the formerly captive Africans, the others are migrants, volunteers to minimization in the colonizing country, like my parents ... Afro self-determination begins with entrepreneurship in Africa. Social, economic or cultural, entrepreneurship creates activities, offers local solutions, and develop initiatives for the youngest continent of the world.
Young Continent in the modernist Understanding which places the West at the head of capitalist development but very old when it comes back to ancient culture. --->
