You can't have a future with out a past...and so much of OUR history is unknown to us, so where do we go from here?

You as a black person of African decent, how do you define yourself?
Or shall I ask, with all that you know about who you are and where your roots mostly stem from, how do you define yourself?
Or, are you, or are you not a mjority of African blood? Or do you not really know?
I define my self as African, but I will accept African American as a defintion to describe who I am. I know for sure that the majority of my blood work is a drect Kin to Africa and Africans but I was born and raised in America.
