Africans and their African American descendants are the only people who were originally brought to this country against their will. Consequently they have been and to a certain extent are still denied complete civil rights. All other people who make up the melting pot of America migrated here for freedom that was not as they desired in Europe and other countries. Africans were forced to leave their country and the freedom they enjoyed for imprisonment in a country that valued only their labor.
Black Americans bleed the same blood types as whites, cry the same kind of tears when sad or hurt, have the same needs for food, shelter, currency and education. Most importantly we have the same capacity to think, learn, love and pray as our white counterparts. The color of our skin sets us apart from other races or nationalities of people, and for that we do not apologize.view less
