(Good point: there certainly are real Africans who have immigrated to the States in recent years, and they're way more 'African' than I could ever be; and it's not just semantics, there are some deep cultural differences. We are not all the same, we folks of Afrikan descent and phenotype, even though in a European worldview we're all lumped together; but then again, I see no substantive difference among any of the European cultures, I mean, if you've seen one xenophobic, patriarchal, pathologically belligerent, hypocritical, delusionally superiority-complexed culture, you've seen them all, so it's a wash, no? Since my mother's from Haiti, I always considered myself Haitian American, plantain bananas and all, and don't even get me started on how the 'local' bruthas and sistas talk about people from the islands, behind their backs.
