> Africans in Africa share little of the fervent anti-colonial attitude prominent in the American Black community here.

Like who, Umkhonto we Sizwe? Patrice Lumumba? The MPLA?

> African writers in Britain and Africa, respectively, write to disparage the export of the Black American anti-colonial perspective

Is this new? The South Africans had Buthelezi to go around the world criticizing the anti-apartheid movement, and there were ones before that.

Benedict Arnold ended up not sharing the anti-colonial attitude of his fellow Americans. Nor did Vidkun Quisling of his fellow Norwegians share anti-colonial attitudes. We are not unaware these people exist.
