Generally Africans understand this. I think its outsiders,IE Non Africans that don't know this.

I do not agree. It's pretty universal actually. It's just that some places in the World retained better these cultural traits, especially those who are safe from some Globalized/Americanized views on ethnicity.

this has been my general view of Africans. We have our distinctions, but there are certain cultural norms that we share, that always help us relate to one another on a cultural level.

I am not convinced. What do you mean by "African"? where the "African cultural norms" are used and what is it about? I am sure there are some common cultural traits shared by some goups like between Bantus for instance (not a good example since they are quite similar

) , between hunter-gatherer societies, between forest people, between merchants (like Hausas and Dioulas in west Africa), etc... but that's all.
