I’m pure - pure American with a blend of Irish, French and German;)I’m too darn white to have any black blood in me but, who cares, if I do, I do.

My grandmother came to America from Sicily.

If you saw her picture, you might wonder where she {and most very dark} Sicilians got that head of tight curls, since Sicily was captured by many African countries over the centuries.

I don't know if we have African blood in our lineage, I'd say the odds are in favor of it, but so what?

I'm second generation American, not Italian-American, not Italian-African-Chech-American.

Being American is special enough for me, and I am so thankful to God and my parents for having me in this country.

Gee, I wonder if barry is one of my cousins?

Spot on. I am not fond of the hyphenated American rubbish. If I started to hyphenate, then my personal demonym would be rather long. I am an American. Period.

AMEN! Me too.

It is one thing to have black in your roots it is another to have roots in you. The first is OK the latter, I wouldn’t mention;)
