Must be how we were conditioned but majority of our other African brothers and sisters are heritage first , African second. Rather that be Dominicans, Eritreans, Jamaicans , Nigerians don't even matter. AAs are the only ones who don't claim our land/ heritage first to differentiate.

If someone (like me for example) who doesn't "know" their distinct heritage says "African American"...isn't that putting your heritage (African) before your nationality (American)?

Because theres no Black American country, the fact that whites were always a majority throughout US history, and hypersegregation in the US

how can we so-call claim our land and heritage when we are an amalgamation(mutts) of most of the tribes from the mother land?
