As an afro American I don't despise Africa ,and why on earth would I deny my hertiage . Iam proud of my hertiage and my blackness and would never ever deny it . yes you have some people who hate what and who they are and usually they are the ones you hear the loudest. so who are you to tell afro Americans to just call themselves black Americans ? and the afro Americans who do not want anything to do with there blackness are already calling themselves something Else. so don't go around slapping every afro American .
So, are you an African? Where were you born? Where were your parents born? What schools did you attend? No vex o. me I just dey ask make katakata for no dey |

OK. So your blood is of African descent. I hear you. Does that mean you're not a Black American? |

Why is it so difficult to acknowledge if you're a Black American? We can all come together for progress as Black people.

(Black Americans hould just call themselves Black Americans and it will be easier to accept that they are our Black brothers and sisters. We know how much you despise our continent but you still like to be recognised as having some connection to us.) 1.who asked for your acceptance ? 2.who is we,and how many afro americans told you that they despise africa? 3.the blackness of our skin gives us a connection to africa. Just remember this we are who we are and we come from great stock.

Justlie, Don't try to get out of it. Answer her question. 1. Who asked you for acceptance? Answer: Nobody. Because African Americans rely on their Continental African ANSCESTORS to tell them who they are. Just like any Continental African relies on their Continental African Anscestors to tell them who they are. |

vronnie,
Justlie is always under the mistaken impression that African Americans were waiting for his approval before we can declare ourselves what our Continental African Ancestors have already declared us to be.
Africans.
It just burns him up.

Even a whiteman does not need me to define who he is. I met a white girl who told me she's a Nigerian - she was actually born in Nigeria and spent some years there. She has a Nigerian passport. She claims to be an African and I cannot dispute it.
Drugilla, what exactly makes you an African? where in Africa are you from? NOWHERE

Justlie, Please do not try this bullshyte. Many of the white colonial leaders and their children were also BORN IN AFRICA. Yet, every African country got up and fought to get rid of these invaders and colonizers. Why didn't they just say, well they may be white but since their Africans (born here) they got a right to rule us other Africans. According to your logic, Africa should still be ruled by all those white Colonial leaders, who were born there. South Africa and Zimbabwe and Angola should still be ruled by the whites who still live there in great numbers. |

Justlie, I am an African because I have always been an African. I don't know how to be anything else but an African. Being African just means being Black. My Continental African Ancestors were from an area now called Nigeria. So I guess for our purposes, I am descendant from the Ancient Owners of the area now called Nigeria. |

Justlie,
By the way. My 'white' parent does not like to think of herself as white. She likes to point to my Portugese grandfathers Afro as proof that she is not white.
She thinks of white people, as the "blue eyed, blond" scandinavian types.
While her father comes from olive colored, brown eyed, brown nappy headed 'portugese' folks.

Drugilla, that white girl is an African. you're NOT! She was born in Nigeria and had her early school years in Nigeria. You, on the other hand, have absolutely nothing but fables trying to connect yourself to Africa. That girl can lay claim to Nigerian nationality and can use the services of the Nigerian High Commissions all around the world (if they are ever functional). You cannot use the Nigerian or any other African High Commission/Embassy because you're not from there. The only use you can make of any African Nation's embassy is to apply for visas. Your drugs take over your brain again and you talk about white rule. where, in there, was there a reference to who rules? |

She doesn't have to think of herself as anything; she is still WHITE and you're European. Just the same way you're trying to think of yourself as an African does not make you an African, your mother thinking of herself as anything does not make her what she is not. |

DRUGILLA Whoever told you where your ancestors are from? The white man. ha ha ha You are decieving yourself if you start believing that the white man who told you that told you the absolute truth. If I a to believe that, then I have to accept that the white people whose DNA's have also been 'found' to have some connection to Africa are Africans. That DNA shyte is the same thing which was tested and discovered that many white people in UK have some African genes. You better wake up and either accept white people as Africans as well or start accepting yourself for what you are. You are a white woman!!! |

Justlie, Sooner or later, your going to get the point, that people are taught who they are by THEIR OWN PARENTS AND ANSCESTORS. This means that Justlie doesn't get a say in what Drusilla or any other African American says they are. I bet dollars to donuts that the white girls parents did not teach her that she was an African. I betcha she learned that she was an European born and bred in Africa. |

If your parents have told you that you are an African, please go to an African country's embassy and apply for a passport. yeye |

African American girls are my preference (the docile ones). Must be conservative. The wild ones are turn-offs. This isn't due to their appearance.

@Justgood
America and Canada are the only countries that bases your origin by birth. If you are born in the United States, congress and social security association deems you as American. Your ancestry may be nigerian, but you are american. In other words, you are African but from America.

Damn are Africans really this vain? Look at all these threads about physical appearance lol.
I mean I'm not saying that other cultures (like the white imperialist countries, and basically every country colonized by Europeans, are) aren't vain, but dayum! Yall could be better than this can't you?

if i say yes, then it'll be which African, if i say nigeria, another question pops up, which nigerian tribe? so to be, it makes no sense distinguishing beauty by person's race or tribethe beauty is in the person. . how they carry themself and their expressions. . . as the old saying goes."beauty is in the eye of the beholder"  |
