Some use the tagline with pride.
So decries it.
Least being label an African American.
Some truly with all honesty tries to sell it.

While others state the American of African descent.
This should be the end of the debate about being African American.

To those that offer an honest perspective with the truth.
If you from Africa and becomes an American citizen.
Then you honestly African American.
No denying this.

You from the continent.
A black American that never been.
In all truth is Americans of African descent.

But then this here or there.
Be whatever makes you happy?
