being a black american, i always get shit from my own people because i don't call myself african-american. i've never lived there and wasn't born there and neither were my parents (that's my limit personally, 1 generation out or i can't call myself that). i am simply american, which doesn't denote any particular physical characteristics. america is the youngest of all lands that have inhabited it, so beyond natives, everyone here could, if they so chose to, say they're (fill in country)-american.
that's not to say that i have no interest in my heritage and dna. i'd love to know where i come from and have been actively researching my geneaology for over a year now, and funny part is because of the lost documentation thru slavery, it's insanely hard to track it thru those 1600 - 1900 years. funny part is the oldest relative i've uncovered born 1560 comes from scotland (last name davisson). guess i'm scottish-american too. lmao. nice.
