I have read Roots and there i saw how african americans born in america were often ashamed of Africa and loved America as a country.

That was back then (and only according to Alex Haley), i don't know how it is today. But it is strange to see as much afrocentricity as it is today, when i read about how it was back then: Even free blacks would go up nawth to become a part of America and many wouldnt go back to Africa if they had the chance!
