[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] One answer to the question above concerning how the U.S. was able to forge an "e pluribus unum" for its migrants from Europe is the fact of language. Germans, Irish, Italians, etc, migrants to the U.S. all agreed that they should discard their original languages and embrace English--the language of the original British colonizers. But how would this work out in Africa? Another interesting fact is that while there is unity around the language of English, the different groups in the U.S. see the need to embrace the Jewish ethic for Jews, and the Christian ethic for Christians. Judaism is very old, but Jews still celebrate Passover. Christians still celebrate the birth of their totem, Christ. In China, old traditions still hold and there is a subconscious identification with the Confucian ethic, etc. Yet with Africa, the Ancient Egyptian ethic has almost zero affiliates and is even not known. How many Africans are aware of the Hymn of Aton, etc.? Change is not impossible because people, in general, tend just to follow and conform. Example: there was a radical transformation when Thomas Sankara took power in Upper Volta and charted a new beginning with the newly named nation state of Burkina Faso--the "Land of Upright men". France did not like that attempt at independence so Sankara was betrayed and murdered by his friend Blaise Campaore-- under the tutelage of the French. Campaore, as President of Bukina Faso, did the bidding of the French until he was deposed and forced into exile. [/QB][/QUOTE]
