A $5 African is a Black American (Soulaan) who adopts a generalized African identity—often shaped by white institutions, HBCU Pan-African studies, social media, or cultural clubs—without a personal or ancestral connection to specific African cultures, languages, or histories is seen as inadvertently supporting both Eurocentric and white supremacist agendas, as well as being encouraged by some Africans. This shift can dilute the unique heritage of Native Black Americans (descendants of U.S. chattel slavery/Emancipated). By embracing a broad “African” label, they may overlook the distinct history and culture of Soulaan, risking the erasure, or ethnocide, of their unique identity within the U.S. in favor of a generalized, often superficial, African identity.
Many Native Black Americans feel that the $5 African projection, where individuals adopt a generalized African identity without specific cultural or ancestral ties, is inadvertently supported by Africans who encourage this ideology, often welcoming others under a broad pan-African identity. However, this approach can unintentionally dilute the unique history of Soulaan and contribute to the erasure of their distinct heritage within the U.S.
