A scene from Sun Ra’s 1974 film, Space is the Place.
“How do you know I’m real? I’m not real, I’m just like you. You don’t exist in this society. If you did, your people wouldn’t be seeking equal rights. You’re not real. If you were, you’d have some status among the nations of the world. So we’re both myths. I do not come to you as a reality, I come to you as the myth, because that’s what’s black people are: myths.”

This is soo deep, they took Africans, forced the majority of them to forget their Language (Language is the DNA of a Culture, if you want to debate that just ask any trained anthropologist), forced them to disregard their culture, spirituality and even their Ethnicity (Which is very important in the motherland). Thusly they adopted the type cast of being ‘Black’ (which doesn’t actually mean much as it doesn’t connect them to a Culture a geographical land or history. As it is just social conditioning). Becoming myth.
