'Love that those who have problems with Elon
Musk have taken to calling Mr. Musk an "African American". It's their "cute" way of
denying him "American" roots/identity/"standing". Kinda happens when someone--or group of someones-- rock the claimed-by-what's-left-of-the-overseers---"American" boat.
But in fact,
Mr. Musk IS an "African" American. He was born in Africa. And come to America. Elon Musk IS a "REAL" African-American.
And, conversely, Those Been-Here-since-before-the-Mayflower "Black Americans"? ...ain't.
In Truth, most of us are "mutts" of one sort or another. And our "roots", culture, history, Ancestors, "KINFOLK"(that we know)... are deep rooted here, in this land, commonly known as "America". Our "unique, original and specific "tribe" evolved HERE.
Next to the Original "Native" Tribes, Blacks that go back to over 400 years are the most indigenous people of this land. REGARDLESS of what we are called.
Scores of countries, nations, have been born around the world since we came to inhabit and evolve in this land. Criminally kidnapped, stolen and put into forced labor or not... we have been here for every second of "America"--BEFORE "America".
And don't start talkin' Truth about what kind of criminal and other kind of mixin' and matin' and "stuff" went on along the way. Most "been here" from git Americans, if Truth be told...are mutts. And WE, Native Black Americans, are the "muttyest".
Just look at your damn "Family" when you all get together. Mutts.
Hell, even Dr. Martin Luther King smartly stated, "The (American)Negro knows very little of Africa". And he was correct. Most never been, won't be goin', and don't know a real damn thing ABOUT "Africa". Hell, too busy survivin' and figuring out "America".
Oh, I could go on... and I probably will. But for the moment, this will suffice. It's late, I'm workin' on a few 1ManFlix movie intentions. And very aware I'm runnin' out of time.
"African American"? Got about as much interest and use for it as "Black Lives Matter". Both are parades I ain't marchin' in.
