I mark BLACK and NATIVE AMERICAN.
If I wanted to be completely as to the point as my current knowledge...
it'd be BLACK, NATIVE AMERICA, GERMAN(as my grandfathers grandmother was raped by a German fellow)
I see the importance and the legitimate arguments that both Anton and everyone against Anton has made.
At the end of the day... I'm black yall, and I identify it because of what the civil rights leaders and everyone who followed fought for and what I was taught.
The reason I prefer "BLACK" is because it's a symbol of beauty and strength in other countries. Maybe not in my current country but in others that's how it's defined.
The reason I don't consider myself African-American, is the same reason I don't have my Fathers last name. Africans don't want Blacks to be grouped with them. simply... THEY DON'T WANT US. I'm not gone try to fit in with a group of people who constantly looks down on me, divide and conquer was a hell of a strategy, but that was a strategy used amongst slaves! NOT AFRICANS.
Nigeria was never enslaved and that's main people who I see doing the whole "high and mighty" African bs. If Nigeria wasn't enslaved, then Divide and Conquer could not have been an effect to them.
I'm black and I'm proud to be Black. I'm Black because of what Black represents in other cultures, and what Black has represented in my own CULTURES struggle. And my culture is BLACK, not African-American.
What the hell is an African-American Panther?
But Anton, I fully understand what you saying in the thread.
