See, you yourself see a unifying feature in Africa without noticing by appealing to the superficial Eurocentric notion that ethic groups, clans, and nations consisting of over 1 million people can collectively be referred to as "tribes" in Africa. If we were discussing an equally large group from Europe, you wouldn't be referring to them a just some "tribe".. [/qb][/QUOTE]What are you talking about? Of course the Fulani are a tribe. What do YOU think they are? The Hausa are also a tribe and they number much more than the Fulani. What do YOU call them? [/qb][/QUOTE]There are over 27 Million Fulani spread across at least 20 African countries. Please provide your definition of what a "tribe" is and why say, the Dutch, who stand at 17,000 million and are geographically condensed as a group, are not considered a "tribe". Oh, I forgot, only African populations, no matter the size and organization of the group, can be considered 'tribes' without due regard to comparative nomenclature. Yes, to you all Africans are indeed the same, but you don't see it. [/qb][/QUOTE]In this circumstance I can see where Alwaadberry is coming from. The Irish stand at about 36 Million alone in America, yet I can see if people were to advocate the Irish as a tribe. They have their own culture, language, accent, and identity that is usually different(and sometimes at conflict) with the Anglo Saxon/British. What I think Alwaadberry is saying is the Fulani have a common Culture that is different than other Africans. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yea, do not see his point at all and unfortunately your attempt at clarification did not bring that home. Say what you just did, then replace "Irish" with "Fula". You can see the internal logic of regarding the Irish as a "tribe of people", but they are not regarded as such yet Fulani are here, instead of simply being regarded as an ethnic population. This is not sinking in for me. No one has defined "tribe" outside of the connotation of the crude disorganized, small band of primitives. [/QB][/QUOTE]
