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.

The ethnonym Soulaan, coined by its creators T-Roy, Maroc, and Dwayne Coleman, names a distinct people whose identity emerged within North America through long-term historical presence, cultural development, and social continuity.
Soulaan, originally Soul American, is not presented as a simple label or a claim of external origin. It is an ethnic designation grounded in how peoples are understood to form: through shared historical conditions, adaptive cultural practices, and intergenerational continuity within a specific place. In this sense, Soulaan describes a people whose collective identity took shape on American soil, rather than being fully inherited as a pre-existing ethnos from elsewhere.
A’Morroco / A’Marocco function as historical and linguistic frameworks used to reference early conceptions and namings of the landmass now called United States Of America. Within Soulaan thought, these terms are employed interpretively to signal long-standing human presence and alternative historical mappings of place, rather than as modern geopolitical assertions.
