Understanding
There seems to be some misunderstanding based on lack of knowledge...I am going to go out on a limb, well not really...but anyway....Many black people use the term 'brotha' or or 'sistah' similarly to the way that some Latinos use the term 'nena', 'mami' or 'mijo'.....It has nothing to do with being from the 'hood' or being a player...Also, many blacks use the term Afro or African American, Canadian, German, etc. as a way of showing cultural identity....We cannot call ourselves Ghanain, Nigerian, etc, because that was taken away from us. Btw, yes I have been to Africa...It isn't about having an attitude or dissassociating from our national identity. Simple knowledge and understanding will do. Thank you.
