[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:25 you sound a bit desperate and insecure and need to let it go. Damn! Call yourself what you want...nothing anyone says will make you comfortable anyway. [/quote]

Don't worry - there is absolutely nothing here to make me stop calling myself AA, and I am comfortable with it.  It's just that I think your definition is WRONG and I want to see where your actual support is.  But I will admit to being a bit peeved with the AA posters who insist that those of us with West Indian heritage cannot call ourselves AA, as if we are somehow impostors when we claim AA heritage.  As if my parents' generation weren't right there fighting in the US wars, suffering through Jim Crow and marching on Washington with your parents.  My ancestors weren't here for the emancipation, but we share the much of the same history and heritage and it quite frankly never occurred to me that some of my AA "brothers and sisters" don't think we are also AA.  But oh well, you're right, I probably need to let it go.  Still would like to see those scholarly articles though ...[/quote]

I am not the poster that you have been going back and forth with. See how paranoid and defensive you are? It's really weird seeing you come unglued. While you might still call yourself AA, I get a feeling that this thread will come to mind when you do so.

BTW, how did your ancestors get to the US prior to the Civil Rights Movement? Just curious. Because I know that prior to the passing of The Immigration and Naturalization Act, it was damn near impossible for blacks to migrate to America. [/quote]
