Yeah I feel the same, my husband is half Black and half Hispanic but his Black family has no ties to Africa either, I feel that if our ancestors were taken from Africa way back when the country was first being established, then they are still considered american just like the English that came here at the same time, I don't ever hear a white american refer to thierself as an "English American" or and "England American so why should it be any different for any other american. I could understand if you migrated and eventually obtained citizenship here, but it is different if you were born here to a long line of family that has lived here just as long as anyone else.
