How would you feel??

[Grimm Reeper]

I have a stupid question...have you ever been to Africa? Have you ever lived there? Were you or your parents...or maybe you're grandparents born there? It would stand to reason...if none of the answers are "yes"...you are a black American. I don't understand why its "African American"...White people...don't typically walk around calling themselves "Irish Americans" or "Italian Americans" unless they are directly linked to said country. I have several black friends who say its about culture, but I don't understand why you set yourself apart in title, but are upset about discrimination...

People get pulled over all the time for no good reason...white people, red necks, white-collared business men...blondes. This cop may have pulled you over because you are black, but fucked with you because he was bored...

I'm not calling you out...just asking a question and stating why it confuses me.

I get that this is off topic, but I was just wondering.

Ok, lets look at this shall we, on any application where is says race, tell me if you never seen it say African American/Black or even Caucasian/White? and the list goes on

It doesn't matter if I know if any of my family of recent times was from there, I know that we were not here first and that slaves were brought to America on a ship, so why would I not call myself an African American, if I know that my roots are in-fact from Africa.

Think about it

and I don't care what anyone else classifies their self as I'm talking about me



It's sad, but I do try to grasp on to some of my culture that I have limited knowledge on.
