Pan-Africanism : Is Smokey Robinson African?

[toylin]

I*n regards to the sentiment that we Americans do not consider ourselves African: anyone remember that Chris Rock joke about flunking Black History 'cuz he didn't know anything about Africa? He says all he knew about Africa is that it was far...... Many of us here in Americam feel this way. (As I demonstrated on the thread "sum questions"). I have not heard Smokey's poem, but I would like to. It may have a few hidden meanings.......

When i say that, I mean I have not had the honor of seeing/hearing Smokey perform the piece. Even if there is link to audio/visual, my comp won't support it right noe.. not enough memory. I'll have to try and catch a re-run on TV one night.
