I copied this and printed it, hoping one day to show some of these 'black American' Afro-Centric students/faculty what Africa is really all about.

It won't change the fact that Africa is my ancestral homeland and I accept it for what it is, both good and bad. I'm one Black American that can just as easily think of myself as "African-American," or even "African."

Nobody expects Asians to call themselves "Yellow," so don't expect me to limit myself to being called just "Black."

I know, and you should be proud of your ancestral background. The Africans I have met are truly wonderful people. But Africa needs real help and God is so willing to intervene on their behalf. He's doing it now but you never hear about it from the liberal media. I'm Norwegian-American and I love Norway. It's natural to seek your roots and to embrace them. We are all more than just Americans. Being Afro-Centric, in what I understand, is to believe everything originated in Africa. That's not true but Africa has much history from which we can learn. It's always interested me. I loved ancient history in high school and Africa has much history that is interesting. I hope I didn't offend you by my remarks. I certainly didn't intend it to be offensive but I see professors teaching kids all about afro-centricity and it's just not true history. Mxxx
