  1. I have a BIG problem with people who use the fact that they are from an african country and can not only name that country but the tribe that they claim calling themselves african americans. Like their ancestors suffered as slaves on this land and are THAT lineage. LIES. the descendants of usa slavery are gaining NOTHING by you TAKING what is ours, or else you would be as clear as to who you are here inwith america as you are clear as to who you are when you are in your african nation. Obviously foe not friend. If truly diversity is what is sought then why claim to be who you are not. Because you know you are truly only stealing from another group what was meant for that group.
