HOTEP, KING AND QUEENS! I lay back in disbelief at all the self hatred within our own communities. BLACKS are the first to scream the WHITE MAN did it. Well lets take a closer look at WHAT? the WHITE MAN did and WHAT "WE" are DOING?.
I was previously enrolled in a course called intro to Black Studies, upon the entrance of the class I was presented with the Hyper-link Shared above. It opened my eyes to many terminologies used to identify Africans in America. I use the identifying term Africans in America, because like Romana Edelin of the National Urban Coalition; I believe the a people must be identified from a common place of origin. EX- Irish Americans Ireland. Therefore "blacks" would credit the negro for being nothing more than a color or a shade for that matter. AFRICA is and has always been the proven fact of the origin of OUR ancestral heritage. I thereby proclaim the Africans IN America be the chosen identifying ethnic group because most of the generational lineage are NOW AMERICAN citizens. I never want to loss focus of WHERE Africans here in AMERICA originated. Now lets speak on division. While in class discussing the proper terminologies, One male approach the class with caution stating that he is AMERICAN alone. With rage, I contested that he knew nothing of the grounds her fore-parents walked and would be unable to walk until he crawled those old trails. Obviously metaphorically he glazed in utter shock at my disapproval. I combated his statement with FACTS. YOUR PEOPLE MY PEOPLE THE KINGS, QUEENS, BLACKSMITHS<>
