An African colonized by the French is led to believe they are French. No oppressed person can have the same interest as their oppressor. To make Africans think that the interest of the oppressed is the same as the interest of the oppressor - to create the unnatural conditions where Africans actually work against their own interest. To keep Africans divided and disorganized. African people are more than 900 million strong and if organized the effects of racism would be destroyed.
Racism is meaningless against an organized people.
An example, are the Chinese - racist feeling towards them by the West are moot because there is nothing the imperialists can do against 1 billion organized people. To maintain control of the African continent with its vast resources which made capitalist development possible. The unity of all African people and a unified Africa will be the biggest blow to the maintenance of imperialist power in the world. The determined and conscious resistance to penetration and foreign domination, we have seen, is a constant feature in the drive for the assertion and preservation of African people. We Are African Period.
