Don't Call Me African-American, dammit

[BO-DEN]

If you're going to call yourself African-American at the very LEAST you should be able to tell someone which African country you came from. I bet less than 5% have a clue....I damn sure don't.

I come from the southern coast of ANGOLA

my family was sold to the governer of north carolina(i forget his name) he was a widower and had a daughter... when he died he left the plantation to his daughter who married a man named RICHARD ROBINSON

this guy renamed all the slaves after himself.

after slavery was abolished my family consisting of 13 brothers and sisters. came to baltimore for a lumber mill job and worked that .... most of the ROBINSONS,ROBERSONS,ROBSONS in MD.,VA.,NC. are all from the same plantation.

we were one of the african familys that kept the Robinson name the same and didnt ulter it like the ROBERSONs, ROBSONs.


it was veryimportant in my family to know this... it has been drilled into my head since i was tiny.

Solid posts guys. Our country would be better off if everyone thought like you.

Unfortunately for some who like to get $$$ (uh hem Jessie Jackson) they do better by keeping controversy alive.

The more we dwell on our differences, the longer it will be until people realize that we are all the same.
