IDENTITY DISPLACEMENT - "Who Are You?"

"Identity Displacement" - A social phenomena shared among Black slave descendants in the Americas who have been forcibly separated from their national ethnic heritage of origin through slavery, systemic oppression, cultural suppression, and the denial of equality or humane treatment while being subjected to abject cruelty, brutality and abuse physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually through racism. It effects Black American slave descendants psychologically, socially, and spiritually by robbing them of accurate knowledge about their ancestry, and forcing them to either accept their captor's culture or create one as a replacement to fill in the historical blanks of their family tree.
