Some honest talk about RACE. Growing up as a dark skin sista I was no stranger to being called names because of my complexion. I was called many names such as Blacky, Spook, Monkey, Kunta Kinte, Tar Baby and many more. But I was also called "African" as if it were some kinda slur. Out of all the names that proved problematic being called an AFRICAN in a negative way played a large role in why I embrace the label "AFRICAN American". I call the label AFRICAN American a "proper slur". In this video I explain why.
