The turmoil from the death of George Floyd and the subsequent events that followed after, showed that in the supposedly post-racial West, race is still considered to be a valid but divisive source of identity. For the nearly 1.6 billion people of Pan-Afrika, this has brought certain questions to the foreground: what really is race and racism? Does it really matter if one identifies as "Black" or Afrikan? What really is the truth behind the claim that Christianity is the "White Man's Religion"? The events of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Colonization of Afrika, how really should they be understood? Were they just events of the past, with no impact on Pan-Afrika today? If there was an impact, what was the level of the trauma to Pan-Afrika? Can the displaced and alienated peoples of Afrika from that great tragedy, though differing ethnicities, still meaningfully identify with the civilizational identity of Afrika? Finally and more importantly, can Pan-Afrika, discover again their unique identity in God and the mystery of the Afrikan Unconscious? To answer these questions, the author examines the issues of race, identity and of the Transcendent Personhood of Humanity in the Person of Jesus Christ as the goal of destiny for all of Pan-Afrika. The author shows the fallacy of the concept of race, its mythology and its existentially self-destructive nature and the dangers to Pan-Afrikan consciousness, if they consistently react to the legacy of European racial beliefs. He examines the Christian Church's role in the instigation of much of the race and racist psychology of the modern era. Finally he gives a programme of mind renewal for those of Pan-Afrika, that enables those who are willing to engage with it, to take the journey of self - discovery to true identity, not based on biological traits, but the Image of God.
