If even educated Africans don't seem to care about our history it's gonna be hard to make a diaspora member who is under constant psychological warfare to care about his own history.
If we wan't to solve the inferior complex we simply need to fix our economies, remove a significant part of foreign cultural input from our cultures. Began to create a African entertainment "bubble" , remove colonial languages and begin to see us self as superior.
There is no "psychological warfare" from the boogey white man or the media.
Simply? You can't "simply" fix African economies. The reason is not corrupt leaders and Europeans stealing our resources like every 50 year old armchair politician with no two cents to rub together postulates over his Guinness.
The reason is the fact that subsaharan Africans are the most backward people on earth bar none. Europeans, Middle easterners, Asians and Indians had thousands of years of nation and empire building under their belt. Empire meant law and order, a common language and culture that transcends the primitive human organizations of clans and tribes.
Outside of Northern Ethiopia, almost all of Africa was still clanish and tribal by the early 20th century. A prototypical equivalent would be the hundreds of Germanic tribal confederations during Roman times. Then imagine taking those tribes speaking different languages and trying to create a Germany out of them in the modern context. Not going to work.
There are simply no African countries in the true sense of the word. Just a bunch of boundaries drawn up by Europeans and posse of backward confused people who don't know whether to define themselves through a clan, tribe, ethnic group, country or race. That definition is very important for the human and especially male psyche which in its absence leads to all sorts of inferiority complexes. It also makes it impossible to work together with your fellow countryman. All great societies need some form of civic trust which doesn't and will not exist in Africa until ...
Either you remove clan, tribal, linguistic and ethnic affiliations by force until the nation and nationality considered the common good. Which no one will let u do in the 21st century unless you want to be bombed a la Libya.
Or you divide the continent into Yorubia, Habeshaland, Akanland, Shona Republic etc so that the tribal/ethnic mentality naturally becomes a civic nationalist one.
World War II's number one victim was Africa because Europeans were actually on track to civilize the continent . Another 50 years would have put Zimbabwe on par with Singapore and Ghana around Latvia.
You might think I'm overplaying the importance of this mentality but the difference between a clan/tribe mentality as opposed to a national mentality is like the difference between a 9 year old school kid and 25 year old man. Completely different levels of mental development.
It's easy to wax poetic about how great Africa is and that all we need is some pride when you are living in the USA and Sweden. Masturbate about how Europe and America were built by African resources lol can't believe Black Caesar actually believes that bull this is the definition of blue pill.
Think Africa is great? Go and live there. Very few of you guys would last a year. Think Africans are great? Go hire Africans and watch your business fail. Put your money where your mouth is.
My family owns a line of AirBnB luxury rental units in Addis which I handle remotely. Every single time we've experienced problems, the perpetrators were either locals, other Africans or Arabs. Never had any problems with Chinese or Europeans. Now I only reply to European and Chinese inquiries. This would have appalled my idealistic Uni self. I could list dozens of anecdotes like this but the bottom line is that the real world opens your eyes.
Europeans were fucking their sisters and bathing once a month up until 400 years ago, why do you think that period is called the dark ages. Don't get me started on homosexuality etc.
Do some research on the Moors in Europe.
Europeans like to put on a brave face of unity, that is usually for economic reasons but they are very clannish. I grew up in England, they think they are better than all the other European nations.
England looks down heavily on their neighbours, so much for a United Kingdom.
The other groups you mentioned, don't have civilizations as old as Africa. Not even close if the truth be known.
Europe is also made of different clans, look at a map after World War 1 and you will not recognize some of the countries. Even after World War 2 they cut up Europe like a piece of cake, communist countries on the right and non communist countries on the left.
Those same Europeans managed to get in a room over a 100 years ago and carve up Africa the same way.

These countries are still enjoying the spoils today. I will be in Belgium next month enjoying their chocolates, which of course come from the Congo.
Speaking of the Congo, the wonderful device called the smartphone wouldn't be around if it wasn't for Coltan. Which as I am sure you know 80% of it comes from the Congo.
I met met some European recently who makes a fortune in Africa mining their resources. This guy of course is trying to paint a picture that the people love him and he does wonderful things for them by paying them a decent salary.
How generous of him, he is stealing their resources but acts like he is doing them a favour.
Look at the Chinese, don't get me started on them. Give it a few decades and they will be ruling one of those countries.
Maybe you should read a bit more on Imperialism and how the Euros raped and pillage Africa.
Any leader that resisted what shot in the back of the head.

Pretty long list is you ask me.
