Opinions On Pan-Africanism?

Am I the only person who feels like pan-africanism in greatly one sided? Ive seen some pan-africanist specifically african preach about it then turn around and be disrespectful to the rest of the diaspora. Like I see them tell black americans and caribbean people to talk about the xenophobia towards haitians in their communities then when haitians talk about negative experiences with africans, they threw the rest of the diaspora under the bus and started saying anti-haitian rhetoric. They expect us to talk about the internal afro-phobia in our communities yet when we ask them about the way they treat afro-caribbean people, black americans and etc, its all of a sudden "FBA", "we're all black", "diaspora wars" and "why are we fighting". Then to make it worse they'll straight up deny or dismiss our experiences with them. When I see them being disrespectful to the rest of us, the pan-africanist from the americas are nowhere to be found. A jamaican said they didnt like them making fun of slavery, being called slaves and slave babies and they acused them of thinking the'yre a part of the FBA. Its unbelievably disingenuous.
