there are very very few "pure" races in the U.S. there are few "African Americans" but most black people seem to identify sooooo much with being black where many white people accept that they are just Americans with mixed ethnicities

You got it wrong, bro. Black people are black - it's the other races that have black blood in them - not their blood in us.
Blacks were the first race on earth. BTW we will also be the last. Consult your archaeological books, you will see.

Don't take this as me trying to contradict you, but although many scientists agree that the human race did likely begin in Africa (Madagascar is very likely), it doesn't mean that the first humans were actually brown colored, as Africans are today. It is more likely that we began as we will end, a mix of all the characteristics that define the different races today. I have no idea why anyone would assume that Africans would be the last race of people alive, it seems more likely that Asians who live in very remote and undeveloped countries would be the last to survive any nuclear or biological attack, as they are far from the areas most likely to be attacked.

All this ignorant talk about white blood, black blood and whatever. Everyone's blood is the same color. Who cares where everyone comes from. And no one knows for sure where everyone comes from. Do you have hard evidence that proves we all come from Africa? Probably not. Why can't we all just forget it and be friends?
I do agree with what you all said about African-Americans looking different from African people. I've been to Africa. They all look different. But that is the nice thing about this world. We are all unique. That's how God wanted it. It would be a boring place to live if we weren't.

Ah, but here's an even better question: Do most white people realize they have some "black" or "Indian" blood in them?
Most people aren't stupid; we know populations drift. Genes mix. It happens--deal with it. Go out and make a black friend. Get a black girlfriend. Have lots of lovely "mixed" babies for the sake of genetic diversity!

They prolly don't know. I watched this TV special on Pbs *on one boring night*. It was about famous African American exploring their ancestry and heritage. There were Oprah, Whoopi, Quincy, Christ Tucker and many more. The host was a African American study professor from Harvard. He did research on old paper works. On one occasion,everybody did blood work and the scientist matched their DNA w/ people from Africa. From there, they were able to determine what part of Africa their ancestors came from.
The interesting part, the host's bloodwork was so surprising. He has 50% caucasian blood in him . His DNA didn't match any of those from Africa but someone from Western Europe. He was so surprised and even joked that he might lose his job as the African American Advisor in Harvard.

umm...actually i don't think so...i used to think that i was all "black" and then i started researching my family, and realised that i am mixed. i don't know how most african americans think that they're 100 % african, because they don't look like africans. that's why these "african americans" come in so many colors and stuff-they're really mixed!!!

Yes! We've known ever since slavery that we are the "mastsa" children! We always wondered why we looked just like that picture of these white people in Grandma's old book.
We've known this forever - but thanks "masta charlie for recognizing this fact - because you know - must be true!

Of course they do. But, having "white blood" does not make a person White.
Each individuals culture and sense of identity is personal and none of your business, if they choose not to share it with you.
You are confused. I recommend education.
