We did not choose to settle over here, we all know how our ancestors got here, so due to this we lost the culture and tradition, so as ignorant as we are of our heritage we are still African Americans, but dang most of us are mixed with indian and white so we are African Irish Indian Americans  also if you want to get technical. Until Africa becomes a major world power African Americans will continue to get hated on because no one respects our homeland. You don't see Japanese kids for example in America getting picked on by cops because Japan ain't having that, they would put a hurt on this country. what world power is going to fight for us? no one.

I'm only going to address a part of what you said. It's true; many of us are multi-racial. I have been working on my own family tree and have discovered this. But, as Peter Tosh said: "No matta where you come from, as long as you're a Black Mon, You're an African!!!"
