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

Yess Young, shit

Nothing wrong with finding that your story begins with more than that slavery

Hell... our last names aint even really OURS. Black folks just been making up their damn history as they go along. SDDDDDDDDDDD

Exactly.

The same ones who will tell others. "you just BLACK u aint fucking special!!! "

are the very ones who will casually mention how their great great great great great great Grandmother was supposedly 1/4 Cherokee.

I'm glad that many of us are finally finding out our truths. So we can no longer walk in complete ignorance, with these tales that are in large part completely fictional.

Young really went in

That part about people asking "where you're from" or "are you black" is so true.
I get that all the time and when I tell them they're like "Oh yea, I could tell you weren't just -- regular black"

lil sis

My big sis was JUST talking about this not too long ago.



She sees herself as "just" a black woman, but someone is always asking what she is.  I think she was getting confused with it so she finally ranted.

It's just so funny that she made this post AFTER I took my DNA test (which I didn't tell her about), and was awaiting my results. I was so happy when I could share them with her.

Massa is happy thats for sure. Mission fuckin accomplished.

Niggers dont even care to know their lineage. Just Black! Nuff for me! Just have to deal!

I get not being on a quest, or even being indifferent.... but "Dont care....wont change that Im just Black" that makes me sad.

ya'll are saying all the mess I didn't wanna say.

but everyone in here make kinda valid points. it's like "if I've gone this long without knowing, whats the difference?" I get it. no one is born wanting to know their roots.

lemme keep reading
