I'm crying

Not everyone is gonna care

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that I'll judge them.
I mean last year I really didn't care enough to look into it.
Didn't mean I was an idiot, just means I wasn't curious. lol.

Nothing wrong with identifying yourself as "just black"
But I think the harm comes from insulting others who actually care about their roots....by telling them they're "just black".

Or looking down on those who aren't yet curious to find out where they come from.

Some people, in my opinion, are just irreversibly miserable in some way, and can find the negative in anything put before them. That's something they'd need to address on their own time, and it's a process which is way more tedious and revealing than any DNA test. Good luck

See I agree that we shouldn't judge them
But the term "Black" is so generic and it's a new term.
I think that sad part is that it's a name given to us.
"black" literally doesn't point us back to anything (for us here in the U.S) . Just that we have ancestors that were slaves and now we're here in the U.S. There's no richness or beauty in that tbh. Or at least IMO.

And I really didn't understand that until i started traveling and people identify themselves with their origins. Whether it's from multiple places or just one. For example people from Hawaii don't say "I'm Hawaiian" if they're not original Hawaiians. They say "I'm half Filipino , and part Japanese and German " for example.

That's their identity. That's beautiful because it depicts a picture.
"black" just gives me ????

And I use to tell people When they'd ask that I was black. Just black. And then they would say okay but I could tell it didn't really ANSWER the question for them. And then I started realizing that I could trace ancestors from Japan (and even my Irish and Indian relatives) . My " black" just stopped with America. And it kinda saddened me. We have such a deeper and richer history and we need to trace that. And tbh sis YOU also helped me realize that. So thank you.

We are SO much more than just "Black". And I won't tell people that anymore....once I do my DNA tea

What is so wrong with African American though, that is an ethnic group in itself. I mean Dominicans don't go back to Cote D'Ivoire either, so I kind of feel it is stupid to claim some African tribe if culturally you hail from an African American background, which has a rich and beautiful history too.
