This has been a point of interest for some time as well as few others in relations to this. I'll try to cover everything in one go.
The issue with African Americans is culture.
The perspective americans have about culturals and races outside of America is generally perceived as non existent. When it comes to the black community, you hear alot of ignorance and belittling coming from Americans. When in vice, Africans have always been more supportive of Americans. Especially with social injustice yet that hasn't gone both ways. On top of that, they have no interest to learn about their heritage, not the continent itself or its people.
They generally carry this " we are better then any other black communities". This seems to be a common structure when it comes to races who have detached from the original.
Taking Afrikaans people for example, they don't engage with Dutch/German people often even though that's where they came from. Not do they practise a larger number of their cultural practises and don't have a connection to their historical heritage significance. And so they act as two completely separate groups with no relationship to each other ( or general greater desire to be one community ).
As such they don't on general fight for eachs others issues and so forth. This has happened in multiple countries with multiple communities. It seems to be a behavioural matter more then anything.
In terms of integrating communities it has not been a issue as much as most people see perceive it. The only issues and concerns of comes with behaviour seen on TV and media. As the America Black Man/Woman, African can't see themselves relating to them.
And American then have a perceived " we are not Black enough" that they get.
I here want to make this clear native culture is crucial import, as it carries alot of connection's with ancient ways of life. As majority believe in multiple godly entities, this makes grasping the truth alot easier and feels more natural. In terms of not being " white or black or Asian, etc enough " that also come from an insecurity of self. When one doesn't know what it truly means to belong to they race they do develop a sense of inferiority, associated with that lack of knowledge.
It's important to understanding what you are. What your race is. And grow from that.
