YesI get it your American. But that doesn't mean you need to be Captain America.
If you know your history you would know when it was appropriate to wear the traditional clothing. -

YesI have a hard time saying I'm American with any sort of pride. Lol.

Miss me with that "you ? are just so stupid and lost you don't care about your African roots" ? .
Most people period only care about the most relevant details of their cultural/racial history. The most relevant details that contributed to who I am and the society I grew up in, started in North America during the transatlantic slave trade.
No offense to my roots and history back on the dark continent, but my identity as a Black man is far more important and substantial.
This ? isn't even unique to Black Americans. Most AMERICANS period feel a greater sense of identity and belonging with their post American history, customs, and culture (especially if their family has been here for awhile). -
Yesnah... g'head and name an ethnic group that only considers its history in America as their heritage... we'll wait...

So many disappointing statements from my Black American brothers in here. A lot of unnecessary posturing. I don't get it.

What identity? If you remove the african from african american you people don't have a culture or indentity of your own. Everything that's not african about you you got from europeans. -
Yes? is sad man, I was really wondering if ? was trolling too but nope. Some of y'all really do feel this way.
? it we all still brothers from the same mother(Africa). I ain't mad atcha -

When did I say only the American part matters? I said its the most important, the most relevant. For example: Vince Lombardi is the most important/relevant coach in Packers history, but he isn't the entirety or only important part of their history.
And to answer your question:
Most of the people i've known who were Irish, German, Polish, jews who were here pre-WW2 all are extremely prideful and knowledgeable of what their families did AFTER arriving in the US and not much else before. . For families that have been here awhile, coming to America is the definitive moment in their families history given that WE LIVE IN THE ? STATES.
The city I live in has a huge German population and most of them only know about their families roots here. -

You keep saying this, but its been stated over and over again that, that is not the concept of the question.

To act as if nothing has been achieved, to act as if its all doom and gloom is disrespectful, cynical, and defeatist.
Not one time has ? up in here that ? was all perfectly all good. But ? am I supposed to ? on the achievements that my people have accomplished in the midst of constant struggle just for the sake of some warped sense of pride and focus? It doesn't have to be like that.

YesEverything that the black man has is because of the European here in America to say that we fought for something with no army no weapons no land no resources is stupid. Hell everything we do as a people benefits the white man more then us. You wake up go to your job for the white man you pay your taxas to the white man you speak his language and you have his names. Tell me what exactly what do I need to be proud of in black history month if you start here I. America

NoBlack History Month, also known as African-American History Month in America, is an annual observance in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated annually in the United States and Canada in February and the United Kingdom in October.

bruh, i've been a music student since 3rd grade.....
jazz is one of the greatest gifts given to the world...and it was given to the world from blacks who once freed from slavery....that along with some of the greatest poetry ever written..some of the greatest songs ever sung....
besides all the activist and the civil rights wars....some of the most beautiful art the world knows has come from the black american....
before you sit there and judge someone for saying black history in america is something to celebrate think about all the struggle those people went through and were still able to make major contributions that reshaped the way of the world today....
my whole thing is that the black man in america is it's own story....it's a history that stands alone....
it's not one in the same with African history.....it would be one thing if the whole continent of Africa came over to america to be slaves....
but they didn't...they have their story, we have ours.....there's a difference bruh...
