The coloniality concept erases African agency by treating all colonizers alike.

Evidence

This anthology, which puts Antilleans, Guianans, Senegalese, and Malagasies on the same footing, creates a deplorable confusion. In this way it states the cultural problem of the overseas countries by detaching it from the historical and social reality of each of them, from the national characteristics and the varying conditions imposed on each of them by imperialist exploitation and oppression. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 620 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
