For me personally
Knowing where my family hail from, my ancestors struggles, the horrible things they had to go through makes me appreciate my culture and background
Knowing that my ancestors were once rulers and politicians in their land trumps any 'love ya skin' campaign that goes on today
Knowing your roots and foundation is never a bad thing
exactly.

Glad to know the places in Africa I descend from.
As Americans we are taught to see it as a "country" with giraffes, antelope and babies with swollen bellies.

The next time i plan an overseas trip it will not be to Europe.
It will be to Ethiopia . Or Ghana.
Glad I know my truth. And can now connect myself with the motherland.
Really means a lot to me, as an African American.

Calling everyone "just black" sounds like white mans doctrine to me.
i didnt know you were planning a trip to GODna
sorry for telling you to shut the fuck up  :whogonbook:

I just can't argue on here no more :dead:
Unless it's about Faith or fat asses!
I no longer have it in me :dead:
Why wouldn't someone want to know more about themselves or where they came from ...
Ch


I agree
And no they may not "hate" themselves
And they may even be proud to be "black"

But you're more than just "Black"
That's a title GIVEN to you just like your last name.
You're MORE than that! Find out what was taken from you and your family.

"oh, am Black. Its a culture! Hiphop! The Quan! Affirmative Ac'!"

Am reduced to an experience, and Im fine with that!
