Fanon’s claims are scoped to Antillean blacks, not Africans

Evidence

Since I was born in the Antilles, my observations and my conclusions are valid only for the Antilles–at least concerning the black man at home. Another book could be dedicated to explaining the differences that separate the Negro of the Antilles from the Negro of Africa. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 69
