My family is from New York as well yet they lived there their entire lives but know their Jamaican roots and family that migrated from England.

Culture can be reborn but south and North Carolina ain't your roots. For all you know you're probably west African or something gotta peep ancestry.com breh :manny:

Yeah, I mean basically all aa are of west/central African lineage. But that tie to Africa was lost hundreds of years ago and aa had to create new culture in the united states. Culturally the roots for aa are in the south. Its completely different for someone of west indian lineage

Some nikka on here referred to the south as "New Africa". So they were getting that ass beat in Africa like they where in the New Africa. They have they language, families, and CULTURE.
:snoop:

No. What im saying is the south acted as the main culture center for African americans through out the united states after our African ties were broken. Everything from culture,food,music etc

Labels are tricky. I disagree with Raven, but I think I feel what shes trying to say... Africans have been here longer, or just as long as (white/European) Americans, yet (white/European) Americans are simply referred to as 'American' by default. If America is this one big melting pot then we shouldn't need to add the 'African' to 'American' to define ourselves because it almost makes us less American.. I think thats the gist of what she wanted to say:patrice:




Simple answer:
Call them European-Americans, German-American, Anglo-American, Caucasian-American, English-American, Khazar Jew American, British American:yeshrug:... We can all celebrate and acknowledge our ancestry:blessed:

all cacs have ancestry in europe, should they all consider themselves euro-americans???

she didn't say she hates africa, or that she hates her african ancestry... just that she wishes to be labelled as an american. seems fair, seems honest.

you guys will cry about anything. :sadbron:

The difference is genius is that Cacs know what their SPECIFIC ancestry is....

Blacks on the most part do not know the "Specific country or ethnic group" and feel a connection to the "Motherland" and want to at least feel like they have something so they use a label like "African American" to show they are proud of at least having a connection to Africa but have people chastize that and make excuses on why they can't use it....all cause they have stigmas on Africa....
