Why do I call myself an African? Simple. I am proud to wear the name because the first mouths that spoke it were mouths like the one I have. The word originated where I originated. No outside entity had a hand in it's creation.

And no, to say we reject certain labels because the 'white' demon pinned them on us will never 'wear thin'. That is wishful thinking on your part. Also very telling of where you are right now as far as orientation goes.
