Cool Running from Africa

Is it me or has anyone else out there notice how we in this country RUN from our African Heritage? In our customs(hair styles, clothing, music, speech) and even on the census, we claim everything else but our own. Are we THAT ignorant? Is Africa THAT BAD?
Has anyone else noticed that when you ask an Italian person what their nationality is, they always say "I'm Italian"; they don't even mention America. But we say: "I'm Black and...".

Man is identified by the land from which his forefathers come; where then, is this land called "Black"? Why don't we refer to ourselves as Africans living in America?
