All black Americans are named after slave owners, why not the streets….a rose by any other name is just as sweet…..my issue, why continue to behave in a way not natural to us….it was the native Americans robbed of their land, this is not our home and until we get it, stop accommodating, eating food not meant for us and believing we dont have a mind…..we have much bigger fish to fry….thank God i have a mind and don’t care what any one thinks of me….I am black…..actually a proud Negro who determines my own identity….we are also NOT monolithic, but would die for any of my people, including the forgotten, native American.
