Dear Slimey... Am I African American? I am English, Scottish, Chickasaw Indian, thats my dads side... my moms people WE BELEIVE came from a group of People referred to as Melugeon, which can be a mixture of native american, portuguese and African American sometimes!!I have no idea!!!! Whatever I am, I accept it. I have alot of very close friends that are African American, but not wholly, since a couple of them have g-grandfathers who they know were white of some kind. We laugh since they think they maybe part white and I may be part black! I identify more with my N/A side. My girfriends say "She doesnt know she isnt black" I do have a girfriend who is NA and African American. The thing is the African Americans went to live with the NA's, and some were on the trail of tears.We have alot in common with them, in alot of ways... God Bless Nancy "not sure who I am somedays"
