I read most of the posts and I'm happy with some disappointed with others. I am African living in America. I wasn't American until Sept. 11, 2001. I indeed understand my role as an American. My history varies. I have some family here long before the slave trade (despite what many may think Blacks were circling the world before Columbus' butt). I have some family members brought over here in boats in the early 1600's and others with roots in no other place but here. Any way. I will never deny whether or not I'm African. That's a beautiful thing. Despite how Africans may feel:

UPTOWNE"S POST ABOUT AFRICAN PEOPLE HE'S ENCOUNTERED:

Living in NYC I have had the chance to meet many africans from all over the contenent and they will tell you plain and simple if you are not from the motherland you are Not African and that they are the African Americans

Not a Problem, but do I walk around telling folks they aren't American because they weren't born here. What kind of double standard sh** is that? I wasn't born in African, so I'm not African? In that case..there sure are a lot of Americans that SHOULDN"T BE HERE?

I'm not a fan of labels. I'm no Christian, but I'm God fearing. I'm of African Descent and very proud of that ....because I am FROM KINGS AND QUEENS appointed by the most high. Despite what someone said earlier that every one is from Royalty....That's B.S. baby.

My role as an "American." What is American anyway? What history do we have outside of Bloodshed and tall buidings and football. None really. American history is Africa...Africans carried this place on it's back....gave America a monkey boost and now what ever we have left will be sold on E-Bay....

We are not here to stay......I'm God's Child originating from the RICH (not poor) soils of Africa. Here in America testing my strength.
 
@Royal T
Dyou say?
"I hold no flags of any nation. I'm Royal T."

So then whas that symbol beside yo name?

@Forum
you gonna hate me for this but

AFRICAN & AMERICAN
Should have never been a combined word.
They VIOLENTLY CONFLICT.
This is the very thing that has scrambled our
ethics.
(More hatred to me)
Blacks in America are the most morally displaced in the whole of the black world
because they attached to the name American.
everyone else have been quite clear
that they are privelaged foreigners.
And the curse continues.
Bush is the embodiment of the American attitude. Is that what you are?
Homeboy FINALLY went to Africa.
In his sheltered plane helicopter seperate food
and the rest.
IGNORANCE.
My advice is go and see.

(not you Royal T,your probably still in
American dream mode,it'll wear off)

Ever met a mixed raced person who dont
know they BLACK? They loyal to neither
and become CONFUSED and HYPOCRITICAL.

Ever hung with a bisexual person?
same thing, its not that you cant be many
things just not two that oppose.
OK its here now and we use it to identify
our background but dont be fooled into
believing you American.
`next question is What is an American?
I notice its normally the Immigrants who
buy into it, MAYBE cos GETTING a GREENCARD is so hard
is like goin to boot camp.
THE **** IS DRILLED IN.

(This aint meant to be a dis)

Na Bru/Sis/homey/curz
Y'aint American
Your a permanent resident,made to feel
comfortable (Alice tumbling down
the rabbit hole)
in a RACIST REALITY.

(The Matrix if you like)


@Royal T
Please get off that sept 11th
stuff.It was an American who
masterminded it.

Patriotism 'll get
you nowhere!

The Day SUPERMAN
IS A SMASH @ THE BOX OFFICE
and hes black (not BLACKSUPERMAN)
just Superman

That day we'll all be AMERICAN.
and Marcus Garvey can say (from his tomb)
**** i was wrong!
till then get in line with Amadou,Rodney
and the rest.


AGAIN
HOW CAN YOU BE THE MASTER.
AND THE SLAVE AT THE SAME TIME?

Dead Prez




It aint hard to tell.

OH MY GOD!
Dreams can come true!

Who could of wished for a better timed statement.

Just to force my point

This is the statement one of our regular racists posted on my home site Yesterday.
"003 - 02:50 am:

"I spent some time in the U.S. Navy and went to several oversea ports with a few worthless black sailors, when the white whores axed these negros what they were, they proudly said "American" when we got back to the ship they became "'african' Americans" again."


Well there you have it!

make ya mind up time.

see what happens when you stand for truth?

God is great!
