Many blacks don’t view themselves as all-American. All-American Implies the suburban, lily-white middle-class, eating apple pie at a baseball game. From an outsider, It may seem that blacks have completely blended in with American culture, but we’re the only race that actually tried to separate ourselves from mainstream culture In an effort to ‘be black’ or ‘keep it real,’ some blacks prefer the white way of life by pretending we’re all the same, as If we’re all gray. Another thing, over the course of several hundred years, we have lost most of the cultural aspects of our African roots. Most blacks I know can’t tell you one thing about Africa besides what any non-African knows already. How can you draw from ancient heritage you don’t know anything about? In America, there is definitely a black identity; we call it black pride, pride in being African American, but it doesn’t include a heritage we dont know of – the ‘African portion’ of our name.
