how is it disrespectful? and by wanting to know more about africa i'm not saying that there's something wrong with being a black american. i'm saying that i don't feel like my being has to be limited to what started on this continent. did "black americans" just appear out of the sky 400 years ago and get immediately forced into slavery? and i ask you again: if my roots don't go back there then where do they go?

Don't get upset. This is coming from the dude who I swear hates that he is an American. It's hella wierd to hear him saying that it's okay to be one. Lol.

Change = split personality, split gender, split sense... but it knows it ain't no Aff-ree-kaan... lucky her! :neutral:
I don't think we should carry the name unless we can trace our nationality back to an African land.
That's the rule that applies for every other American, but then again, every other American didn't go through the same ****to get here as most Black Americans. What about me? I can clearly trace my roots back to a nation and a tribe, so what do I call myself?
I encourage all of you to travel to Africa sometime. As for tracing your ancestry, if Igbo or Igala comes up, lemme know, "Cuz!"
the real african americans
are africans born in africa but came here and got citizenship
the rest are just Black americans
so it is disrespectful to claim an entire continent that u can't trace your roots too
everyone came from africa
know this
plane boy
i hate whites in power
get it right
