Black man, who am I without black, man?

I like dis question . I wuz given de suggest by a Black Guru , to put I life in mi hands and examine it . I also been trying for many years to Know Thyself , which I heard in many circles . I see Iself as a Earthling . Part of de comos. I am clothed in many expressions and layers . I only see Iself Black , as a response to white . Without white , I'd might never look at Black no further from I skin color . I may not even consider I skin color Black . I believe kulture is closely related here . Or to put it another way, ones worldview . I share many of I ancestors thoughts and concepts , mostly from a Pan-Afrikan Nationalist view . Marcus Garvey comes to mind . With de idea of returning to Afrika and belief in Self , I believe I measure up well with his ideas , but I never see Iself measuring up to such a Man . I don't feel comfortable comparing Iself to others . However , I learn much by observing others. Sometimes I look around at de goings of other men and think I might be a bit strange or different . To mi, Black and Afrikan is closely related . I address miself as a Black Afrikan . So I being comes out of dat while dealing with dis system InI dwell . Wen I sit out wit Mother Nature, I am still a Black Man Coming from dat perspective, I realize I am a part of Nature , thus a friend of de universe . Original Man . I a whole BLACK MAN . De only answer I could give your question is , I feel I would be a Dead Soul . Thanks for allowing mi to express .

AFRICANS ARE NOT BLACK. WE HAVE ALL KINDS OF COLORS. IT WAS THE RACIST WHITES WHO BROUGHT ABOUT COLOR DIFFERENTIALS. ALSO FOR STATISTICAL REASONS WE ARE DIVIDED SO THAT IT IS EASY FOR THE SYSTEM TO DIFFERENCIATE THE AFRICANS FROM ALL THE OTHERS.
