[QUOTE]Originally posted by Miguel Antunes: [QB] Why should people care about the black label? Or any other colour or physical label? I can't speak from the point of view of a "black man" but as "white man", I feel no special attachement to them. Most of the people who tried to conquer my country or my ancestors were white anyway, and I would much faster identify with a black person who was similar to me psychologically, than a white one who was different. On other hand, I do feel a special atachment based on culture, so I feel close to Portuguese, Iberians, Latins...Europeans, etc, but only as far as our culture is similar. Again, I would probably bond faster with a Brazilian or a Cape Verdian of any race than White Bosnian or something. Going to Africa, why should Hausa feel close to a Zulu? A Masai to a Ibo? And so? Only because they are "black"? It doesn't make much sense. So I agree with alTakruri and I perceive no racism comming from him, more like realism. And when it comes to diasporans, who have lost their identity, then they should use the one of the country where they are now. There's a problem here though. The majority may no accept it. Then resorting to the black label as mean of creating union is logical, like what happened with African-Americans, many who simply call themselves black. Many whites wouldn't let them become "real Americans", same thing with other europans of non-wasp origin (italian americans, irish americans, etc) I just hope that rift will disapear someday.
