My people are from Barbados..very prideful of our nationality..but being considered "African American" never struck me as something derogatory because there was nothing wrong with that statement as far as my father was concerned.Africa is the very birthplace..the womb..the ORIGIN of Man..so to me it is what it is..families were taken from there willingly and unwillingly,to places all over the world..especially to the Americas.. Outside of that..INDIVIDUAL and NATIONAL IDENTITY is about pride in ones place of origin and different subsets. The OVERALL sense of it all comes straight to this..being AMERICAN, regardless of your origins, is one of NATIONAL PRIDE..and the subsets come next. |
