My Mother was a Negro. What is wrong with being Negro? I have decided to mark Negro on the census when they send it to me. What does African American mean? I can trace my roots as far back as France but more recently Louisiana. There may be some blood from some country in Africa, but I have no idea where. When a person nationalizes from lets say, Ghana, are they African American or are they still Ghanaian or maybe Ghanaian American? What about Egypt or Morocco? In between being Negro and African American, we were and still are Black. This website uses the term Black. When will all of the identity titles end? It is tiring.
