African-American heritage

I've been wondering for a while now just what this is. IMO about 80% of it is negative, slavery, poverty, second-class citizenship, Really something to celebrate.

You nailed it, that is why they are so desperate to celebrate the 20% that is not negative. I see no problem with that. It has not caught on in a big way, nor would I expect it to. I do not understand people's hatred of it though.

Actually, they have some incredible stories of faith, family, bravery and industry in this country's history. But I've not figured out why they instead want to focus on their tribal times on the African continent.
