OK ya'll......sigh.........I love my people, but sometimes I really want to disown a few of them. I'm at work so I can't look at the video, but, after reading all of your comments I can only imagine what it's like. Speaking as a Trinidadian (1st generation american), can I just say....We Be Black. We be a lot of other things too, but we be definitely black. In Trinidad, regardless of how you may appear visually, people often refer to themselves as various other races. For instance, even though you may be very dark with a particular type of hair texture, you may refer to yourself as chinese, because one of your parents may be chinese. Trinidad is a very, very racially mixed country, and they don't seem to have the hardcore racial issues that we have here in america. As a result, alot of people that we may define as one race, here in america, may identfy as another there. Although most mixed people there do tend to identify as black.
Not agreeing or disagreeing, just offering a possible explanation.
Now, on another note, I do take issue with the term african american, simply because I don't really identify with africa (meaning culturally). Now, now, stop yelling at me. All I mean is, africa is just another country to me. As far as I'm concerned, I'm an american first & foremost, and I feel that by calling me an african american, it takes away from my americanism.
btw: the largest population of black people outside of africa is not in north america, it's in brazil.
