@amelanindream @SizweShange_ @eliotchauke1 "The term African American generally denotes descendants of enslaved Africans who are from the United States"
@YogaSivaya @amelanindream @SizweShange_ @eliotchauke1 Not generally, specifically. Obama was allowed to call himself AA because he had an AA ancestor on her mother's side. Otherwise, he should have identified as Kenyan American.
@SoulChamploo @applesa13112866 @YogaSivaya @amelanindream @eliotchauke1 What's your issue?
@SoulChamploo You guys write English the way y'all speak it, I'm sorry just hard to understand sometimes
@SizweShange_ @SoulChamploo I didn't understand her either.😆 But it has nothing to do w/her ethnicity. I hear some South Africans say this about AAs, that we are uneducated & not interested in intellectual pursuits. Why? 🙃Please don't rely on our enemy's media misrepresentations of us. He's yr enemy too.
@SizweShange_ @SoulChamploo For the record, 88% of AAs graduate from high school (90% for yts)30% of AAs have degrees, 14% have Master's degrees. 43% of us are middle-class or wealthy. We have 107 HBCUs that were founded between 1867-1915, 6 law schools, & 4 medical schools.
@SizweShange_ @SoulChamploo The 1st public schools in the US were founded by AAs , who after having been legally banned from reading for 2 centuries, immediately set up free education once we won the Civil War ended mass slavery of Afrikan people here.
@SizweShange_ @SoulChamploo Education has always been important to us. Our colleges and universities have been a haven for Afrikan people throughout the world. #KwameNkrumah went to #CheneyUniversity, an AA college where he developed strong PanAfrikan relationships. #KwameTure went to Howard University.

@SizweShange_ @SoulChamploo He became radicalized by his experiences, joined the movement against racist oppression, & became 1 of the world's greatest advocates for PanAfrikanism. Today we provide 1 out 4 seats to those of Black immigrant background, including scholarships.
