[Gregory-H21581]

You’re not wrong to feel that way, but be careful who you say it to. I also consider myself black, even though I have very high percentages of non-African ancestry, but I dislike the term African American because I don’t identify with Africa or any of its cultures. People frequently take that to mean that I try to deny my African ancestry, which isn’t true; it’s just that I have no connection or means to connect with my African ancestors. I have no way of knowing even what part of Africa they’re from, much less a specific tribe. I do, however, have strong connections to my family, ancestors and my people who have lived on the shores of this country, and that is where I feel my connection.
