Look into your ancestry/genetics with a test. They can tell you what you have in you.That's cause you'd look silly saying it to someone who's not from America cause it's a whole continent and a country combined. It's not our fault we don't know what country we came from but to claim an entire continent ain't the wave. Especially when you've never stepped foot on said continent for 4-5 generations.
"Oh you're african American? where's your mother from?"
"Detroit."
"Oh and your father?"
"Oakland"
I know all that. But like I said I phrased it the way I did to prove a point.
Majority of black people in America are American of african descent not african American. Which is basically what Trevor was saying, we aren't african American we're American.
Look into your ancestry/genetics with a test. They can tell you what you have in you.
Once you know tell them that you ancestors are from there.
Key word "African Descent" and with genetic testing you can trace it to the country so nothing will stop you from reconnecting with your ancestors homeland.It's somewhere in a book at someone in my fam house I can't remember where we came from. Even if I did know, I'm still not going to say I'm anything other than American cause I haven't had a family member from Africa for 200 years or so. I'm not african american, I'm an american of African descent
Honestly, I'd tell them I was born and raised in America, but that I don't know what part of Africa my ancestry is primarily from, but I'd assure her that my ancestry is Sub-Saharan African. But then again, my inability to tell her where in Africa my ancestors came from, wouldn't change the fact that my ancestors ARE from somewhere in Sub-Saharan Africa. Me not knowing how to answer her questions won't change that undeniable fact.....So let's say yall visit a country in africa. Doesn't matter which one any one will do. You walk into a local restaurant and the waitress ask, "what are you?"
Do you say
1. "I'm american."
2. "I'm black."
3. "I'm African american"
If you answered #3 and the waitress ask "what part of Africa are you from?"
What do you say then?
Do you bring up how your great great great great grandfather was brought over to America on a slave ship and that's the last time your family touched foot in africa or do you say I identify with africa.
Im just curious to see what some of your answers would be. Enlighten a brotha please.
Trevor barely knows the cultural nuances of America. If he did, he certainly didn't act like he did. Again, he juxtaposed AA's pride in African Ancestry, with a West Indians pride in their nationality over their ancestry. Clearly he doesn't know or acknowledge that the reason some AA's choose ancestry over nationality is, because they were robbed of their own nation, language, heritage, etc.Every single one that I have met have said "American". These idiots have never been over here. Their ancestral background is african but they are not african. They couldn't come here without a fukking visa and would have to leave as soon as the visa expired. They don't speak the local language, they don't eat the food, they have no immediate family here. Unless they marry wouldn't be able to obtain citizenship. They would be immigrants and viewed as outsiders. In other words, Trevor, as an African, knows what he is talking about.
If you're outraged, come on over.
if ur daddy cac you a cac. simpleHe's a typical confused mutt, that's all I know. This is yet another example of the destruction mixing causes..........
