Even Caucasian people take pride in knowing where their European descent comes from. So it’s always strange when Black Americans say they’re American only. If you’re not Native American, then you’re not from here either. You should want to know where you come from.

The thing that’s appalling too is the fact that these countries didn’t even exist formally when we were brought to the US but they talk about Americans not knowing history or geography.!

They know the answer. They only ask in an attempt to "humble" us. It's the same as "what is your culture?" 🙄
