Brazilians are not Portuguese, Mexicans are not from Spain and We are not Africans

We are not Africans. Black Folk is more American than the White offspring of our former slave masters. Only Native-Americans are more American than us. We built this country and too many people have died in the process for me not to claim it. Not admitting this fact is similar to Colored Latinos & Colored Latinas claiming their not black.
To call yourself African, you must be born there. You must experience the lifestyle of the land in real life, not on vacation. In many cases, walking miles for water, indoor dirt floors, political strife and etc. You disrespect them in a way by taking a title you did'nt earn. You got it too damn easy to think you have the right to call yourself African. If blacks in the U.S. are African, that would mean Liberians are really Americans? [your homework:] Ask a real African if your African.
