African American

especially when you spoke of experiencing intra-cultural bigotry and hate from Africans and AA as well.

But what I'm loving now coming out of the Americas is so many young people are learning our history and avoiding colorism that deepens love of ourselves as individuals and then as a group. To me, it's really about self-care that opens the door to our unique beauties of African roots. Though you and I may not see the end of bigotry and prejudice in our lifetime, I think Pan-Africanism will take stronger hold to join people of African descent globally.

I can't imagine that Afro-Latinos, so recent on their countries' census, didn't embrace their humanity, roots, and each other before their long struggle to be counted. Those people in the video and many, many others give me the biggest hope of all.

BTW, I've got half-white German/Nigerian and German-Nigerian cousins, both of whom are activists in Germany. They can barely understand me and I can't understand them fully either and we totally ruin our parents' language...lol. But yet we know the struggle is the same for us everywhere. They will not come to the U.S. because of the killings. So I have to go to Germany
