No Dogon, I think the real piont is that you want to except every tom, dick and harry as one of us (which I suppose is your right to want)!!!!!!!!!

However these same people who would claim Osama because he has African blood, cry about other people claiming NOT to be "African" because they have White and Indian blood.

You'll have to make up your mind soon or later.

I suppose since its ok to make yourself whom ever you "hang out with" there will be tons more identity politics ahead for ALL black people.

And as far as my identity you got that right, I don't only consider myself Black American/African American I AM one. A better question would be are YOU a real one?

I also believe we are what ourparents are! We areNOT nessesarilywhat our great-great-great-great parents were though! Hell Mariah Carey has some African nationality or nationalitiesin her family tree too- is she an "African". That black ass thing Wesley Snipes more than likely has someCherokee or any other "Indian" blood in his family tree, will you be just as openminded when he starts going on and on about HIS Indian ancestry and being part of the Cherokee community???

(you're opening a big can of worms here)

Every what? What are you talking about?I claim Africa. I am claim a connection to African Culture. There is something unique about people who look at Africa and claim a connection to the culture contained within.

I doubt that "Osama" would claim he was African. I am pretty sure he would say that he was Arab. That's hisright and Iamnot going to challenge him on that. Butfor those who claim a connection to African Cultures,I have no problem sharing that connection.
