This is just a first installment on the subject of the african identity. The first is the mention of the eroding of the african as an african and the self assimilation to what i call the african-european or african-arab depending on religion or location. The african-european and african-arab does his or her best to be just like the european and arab, this involves, manners, behavior, think, physical looks and bias towards their own african group ( UNLESS you belong to the same clique which on the most part consists of monetary classification and to the european or arab educational system ).
The total assimilation of a large portion of the african population worldwide by both the arab and european through the process which began in enslavement then to religious conversion either islam or christianity respectively are the major contributors of the eroding african identity. To top it all off, the total acceptance by the african of this circumstance has molded the african to be or want to be as the MASTER is, BODY and MIND.
Ref - One needs to look no further than the african male's encouragement of the african female to absorb chemicals into their hair just to try and imitate the european female's natural born hair as the ultimate symbol of beauty. A plain and blatant show of an assimilated inferiority complex in the african psyche, choosing the IMAGE of Another and discarding your own true self.
