many people feel that we are no longer African's, so theirfore they don't care about of want to go to africa.....how do you feel about africa or do you feel we are still africans? should we carry the name?
ready....break......
I want to go to Africa and work with children with Physical Disabilities I also want to work in a school, since my second major is education. I don't care if people say that I'm not African, shid, I got African blood in me and I feel like it's my obligation to help and give back to where my ancestors came from. And also, for me it would be self gratification to see children getting help and attention that they need and lack.
i think of myself as african first before american. i didn't get this **** hair from a european ancestor. i might be able to make the journey this summer but if not then at some point in my life.
american is NOT a race
it is a nationality
u are most def AMERICAN before u are African
u wasn't even born in africa
can't trace ya roots back there either
get with it
Well, I've been to Africa a few times already, and I'd encourage every1 of African descent to go (pick a country)...whether it be close descent or not.
Actually, I encourage everyone to go to as many countries of strong black culture that you can. For example, I've never been anywhere in the West Indies. So that's more of a goal for me. Also Brazil, etc...cuz despite nationality..we're all black people. And don't just go and see all the good parts, see the bad parts too (Americorps, anybody?).
sorry change
traced mine back to ghana matrilineally
..kingdom of classical african antiquity...
...through oral history of my family of a grandmother who remembers stepping off the ship and told her children to tell theirs
...and looked up the historical **** purchase records too
...****
i didnt used to give a damn about going there...to me there was nothing there....then i went to college now i want to go to someplaces in africa but not the usual Egypt, morrocco....i want to go to Nigeria, Ethiopia, South Africa and some places in West Africa

get with what? and if i can't trace my roots there where do i trace them to? please tell me o mighty Enlightened one so i can stop denying my true self. god forbid i continue to try and find an identity that started before **** ships.
