There is nothing “African” left in them; they don’t speak African languages, hold African values or customs, practice religions as in Africa (with their political churches here), etc.
I think this lack of any connection to anywhere else is a large part of the problem.
I can’t say I agree with you on that note.... They have opened many museums of their African heritage...and teach about this as well.....not to mention how they now ‘associate’ with hairstyles and dress largely adapted from Africa today...and names. Should we mention our first lady who makes certain we don’t forget where her family roots are.
But let’s assume they have difficulty identifying with Africa....perhaps Port a’ Prince might be their next bet.
