Yuffie butter!
These aren't even in my top 5 but I go with sex over race.

The vast majority(98.99%)of West African people are black(high levels of melanin) which is why I used the word homogeneous but i should have said racially homogeneous.
Yes there are some exceptions but for the most part West and central Africa are racially homogeneous regions.
All black everywhere you turn around.

West Africans were not and are not "a homogenous group"

What factors?Thanks for clarifying
We obviously differentiated by other factors though
Religion, location, resources, societal structure, art and architecture and while race might have been mitigated, Libyan tribes surely saw themselves as phenotypically different than say Ghanians than say Sudanese than Ethiopians than Khoisan. It's all Black but that range is vast.

Indeed I get your point just because they are black does not mean they all share the same ideology wether its culture,tradition, religion,customs and even language..
The only unifying thing Africans have in common would be their skin color.

People keep bringing up how others identify us, but the question is how WE identify ourselves as individuals.
I will always see myself as being a MAN first because that's not based on social constructs and pigment, that is an intrinsic part of my biology. And yes I'd rather be a white/Asian/Hispanic man than a black woman.
How is that so hard to understand?

Would you rather be a Black man than a White/Asian/Hispanic man?

Yeah simply because that's who I am. I'd rather be me than anyone else. But I could retain more aspects of myself as a man of another race than as a woman of the same race.
Doesn't sound like either factor in more than the other and you're using ambiguous reasoning to place one above the other. If you held being another race of man in the same regard as being a Black man then I think your position would make sense.

I don't believe in black supremacy if that's what you're asking.
I like being me and I am black and I value the experiences and perspective I've gained as a black man. I don't think being black necessarily makes me any inherently better or worse than if I was another color.
But I'll always be a man first. I'd much rather be a man than a woman.
I know gender is important and you sound adamant but you then say race is important to you then dismiss it in the same breadth. Can't say I understand the rationale because it sounds like your identity is some weird combination but you should know you. I personally wouldn't want to be a woman or any race of man not Black
