I am a black man inside and outside and you are white men on the outside, but inside, you are Africans like me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's no question that I'm African-American. OK? I'm a black man. We're not going to escape that.
I am proud to be an African.
I'm an African American.
Because I am an African, I am a Ghanaian.
We all evolved out of the same three or four groups in Africa, as black Africans.
One of the things that's really, really present in 'Between the World and Me' is, I am in some ways outside of the African-American tradition.
Sure, I look like a white man. But my heart is as black as anyone's here.
When you say that you are a race man, it means that you embrace the entire black community regardless of the hue, whether somebody is very light and could pass for possibly white or someone is very dark.
I am not an African. I am an American.
We're all Africans, everyone - black, white, yellow.
