The Purpose
What do you think when you hear the word African American ? How do you feel when you are referred as a " Black " person? These are very important questions. The purpose of this blog is to educate, empower motivate the minds of my brothers and sisters. We have to make a change and we have to make it now.

I found this article and thought I'll share it with you, tell me what you think??
ReplyDeleteAmerica it’s time to move on from separating races. My generation doesn’t want to be called African American, because we are all 100% Americans. What’s so hard about us being called Black Americans? If we were never born in Africa, then why do we have to have that title? My roommate Dwight doesn’t like getting called African American either, and he’s an example of other Black Americans who don’t want to be called African Americans. The separation starts there, because we are being called Half Americans. Not all Africans are black, because there are a lot of white Africans. What if a white African comes over to America and they get their citizenship? Are they going to be labeled as an African American or white? If a real African is born in Africa and becomes an American citizen, they are an African American. It makes me feel like I’m half American, because they was born in Africa, but I’m still getting the same title as them. Its funny how real Africans think it’s weird we are called African Americans. We don’t have anything to do with Africa. I’m tired of living in the past and I want to move forward. It’s time for us to become more united for our future generations. If you’re born in America you’re an American, POINT BLINK END OF STORY!!! United We Stand and May God Bless America

But the reality of it is, We are African Americas. Everyone migrated here my choice. We are the only people in this country here by force. We have a lot to do with Africa because thats the root in which we come from. They way they thought of black people in the past is what they think as we speak. Its just in a different form

ReplyDeleteIf you think about it, african american also makes no sense, y bcuz america is named after a white man amerigo and africa is also named after a romen general those names where given to those places by so called white people
ReplyDeleteSo they say. There's a lot of things they say the white man did, but it's not true. I don't care f he named it. The history goes way deeper. Thank you so much for giving your imput, I hope to hear more from you.

ReplyDeleteNearly 40 years after the March on Washington, has character triumphed over color? Have Americans learned to embrace diversity? Will the African American community thrive and prosper in the 21st century? The debate rages on. For answers, some look to politics, others to religion. In the end, as filmmaker Spike Lee has observed, the ultimate answer lies with ourselves.
ReplyDeleteYES AFRICAN AMERICAN!!LOL YOU WIN...
DeleteThe question " Will the African American community thrive and prosper in the 21st century?" I think not, we are automatically set up for failure, people have to understand the White Supremacy agenda. Until one realizes they will forever be blind and controlled by the system
