That's my point exactly. The only reason you can trace your ancestry is because your NOT all African. Bob Marley - half white. Tiger Woods - half Thai. Colin Powell - everything. Mandela is famous because of his resistance to a government, not because Africans have any particular skill or ability that contributes to mankind as a whole, unless you count the Olympics and that wouldn't be missed. You have the luxury of being proud of your African heritage primarily because your are not entirely African anymore. Can you say that about any other race? I can guarantee you that you are not related to any of my crew. The offer still stands.
