@humanearl - Sir your experience could teach me a nice lesson....
'3 Steps to Erase Culture' is very true.... You got that feeling that's why you wish to share it.... Until I read this article, actually I had no idea about it it feels you Sir.... I could understand the feeling you got at that time (the time that asked you where are you from?)....
I never had that feeling before, because I knew where I'm originated at.... Sir I hope one day you will find a clue about where your ancestors were came from or who brought them to US....
After all you are an American now.... With blood of Africa, you are an American.... It's a gift to you Sir....
