It's different if he was asked "where are you from?" and he said... "my parents are from Nigeria"........... He said what he said in an attempt to explain the origin of his name.

In situations like this, I am usually on the side that you are on now...He didn't outright say he wasn't Nigerian.

TO BANKY W. SO U DO NOT FUCK UP AGAIN.

Terminology 101

African-American is a term used for Black aMericans who do not know what part of the large African continent they are from.
Those of us who know our country, in a large entire continent are 'That country-ans', or at worst,- 'that country-aMericans'

Got it. Now keep on rockin.

Imagine a British artist saying he is a Europe-aMerican

Okpabio · 07-08-2007, 08:41 AM

when u say "my parents are....." from a certain place, religion etc, u are insinuating that u arent part of that.
