			<description><![CDATA[Dadli Son, Where do i begin with you! Your response is filled with so much destructiveness , yes the ability or willingness to destroy. Being African is not a geographical location- Its an idea. A Legacy. A Self definitive truth which continues to evade many who think as perjuriously as yourself. ( figure it out). My time and futility cannot be applied in a circumstance where the intended outcome is achieved slave, Africa may not have any meaning to you. But it sure does to a lot of individuals globally. you are and ant in the grand canyon. "White Americans don't walk around claiming their European roots. They focus their efforts on building their current home" what do yo listen to cnn and fox? ill leave that there. We pity you. How will you build your current home? On a legacy of enslavement, colonisation and dependence? That is what the Caribbean symbolizes in the 21st Century. Its majority the post colonial American wanna bees who are seeking acceptance in massas absentee social structure who call them selves Caribbean people. You need 2 increase your knowledge base. Your Answer to me reflects a high degree of ignorance...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Codrington, good article. You made some good points. I agree with you that we have to put the black woman first and join you in apologizing for my past mostly selfish acts against black women. Asita Ngash, I agree with you that we need to know ourselves. What I am today I owe to those who came before me. dadlison, why is European history aka taught in American schools? I am African but I am also West Indian. Caryl Phillips, American Tribalism states: Dadlison learning our history is part of knowing ourselves. ..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I could not disagree with you more. Holding on to a continent that has no direct meaning in the majority of our lives is a futile waste of time. It is when we can finally embrace that we are CARIBBEAN and not AFRICAN that we will progress. White Americans don't walk around claiming their European roots. They focus their efforts on building their current home. We must do the same. To the author. The black race may become diluted in America, but that fear does not extend to majority black nations. Black relations continue to flourish as ever before. Perhaps you should relocate from an America that doesn't want you to a Caribbean that will embrace you.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In my quest to see African people call ourselves by our own name "African", On the road to self knowledge, must first come self acceptance. On one hand we cannot say the word "nigga", because the white man pejoratively used that word, on the other hand we, especially we in the Caribbean,prefe r to call ourselves "black" people as opposed to African people. What really is A female in one of the highest offices in the post colonial African dominant Country, tells me that she is not an African, but she is Black. To know ourselves we must accept ourselves for whom we are and not for what the enslaver created us to be. We are not Caribbean people, Black people; We are Black African people living in the Caribbean; and the sooner we can wrap our heads around that concept; the sooner we will realize our individual and collective plight, and what the real enemy is of our self knowledge; That we were not enslaved because we were black, that was a justification for massa, the excuse of racism; We were enslaved because we were African, and that legacy is what was being destroyed, to reclaim it is to defeat massa; what our ancestors hoped for most!]]></description>
