“The fear was that the changing image of the African would have a tendency to change your and my image much too much, and they knew you and I tended to identify with Africa where we didn’t formerly do so. Their fear was that sympathy and that identity would eventually develop into sort of an allegiance for African hopes and aspirations above and beyond America’s hopes and aspirations. So they had to do something to create
a division between the Afro-American and the African so that you and I and they could not get together and coordinate our efforts and make faster progress than we had been making up to that time.”

“So they created a division between the Afro-American and the African so that you and I could not get together and coordinate our efforts and make progress.”
Still goes on today.
The divide and conquer tactics between the Afro-American, Afro-Diaspora and African still exist today and the division is still as strong as ever.
