Posted by 360sunsumyea, Fri May-19-00 04:45 AM
if european americans calling themselves white is wrong, then so is african americans calling themselves black. i know you have explained the difference before, but can you do it again?


ok, moving on...
if we decide to call ourselves african americans to reclaim our heritage (no matter how broad 'african' is) then isn't that a HUGE contradiciton? aren't african values/society directly opposing to american values/society, which have been directly descended from eorpean culture?

my understanding of the historic relationship between the african and the european is that they have irreconcilable differences. both realities can exist in the same world, but not in the same space. like islam and christianity exist in the same world, but mosques and churches will never be combined to form one place of worship.
