@humanearl,
Bro could I provide you a small suggestion? Don't think you are a Black guy! The skin color is not a matter and I also from Asia and having brown skin doesn't mean I am a brown guy! We both are humans and I know how hard to feel when you think about where your ancestors are from. What I am saying is don't think much about it! Now your motherland is US and you are a citizen of it! So, every breath of yours contain with US motherland smell!
And the end you said a nice verse!
"We are warriors. We are fighters. We are BLACK. We are STRONG. We are AFRICAN."
Yeah I truly believe it! As a citizen of America, with the power of great African people you guys are extremely powerful than most of the nations around the world! That's how I believe it!
Cheers~
I understand what you're saying but that's my point. I have nowhere in Africa to say "I'm from this region" or "I'm from that group of people". Even though I live in the US I don't feel connected to it. My original first home is Africa and that is the motherland for me. I Identify as black because that is the one feature that we as black people identify with.
This is because originally we claimed a certain tribe and the europeans decided to label us as black, brown, etc. So I embrace having black skin because we have been discriminated so much just for having it.
