    I can’t speak specifically for black kids, or even for Americans, but I can speak for North Americans and I think that it applies to most people here. Quite simply, we are all citizens of Canada or the United States, that means we are ‘all’ Canadian and American. Black Canadians and Americans have an heritage just as white Canadians and Americans do, but we are not our heritage. I find my Finn/ Swedish /Irish /Scots/English heritage interesting and I incorporate some things into my life, but I am not a Finn, or a Swede, or an Irishman, or a Scotsman, or and Englishman. I was born here in Canada and I am a Canadian. Black kids in Canada and the United States who were born here are Canadians and Americans with an African heritage which they may choose to embrace or not. I think we have reached a point in our global history where the colour of our skin does not define our nationality.
