My cultural background is very odd due to the fact I have a few different racial bloodlines in my veins. From what I know and seen I have a lot of African in me from my ancestors. Later during slavery time we were brought to America where we were known as African Americans. Another part of my heritage comes form Native American or Indians as they say. One of my great-grandmothers was ¾ chiakata Indian. Her husband my great-grandfather was ½ Blackfoot Indian. On the other side of my family which is my mothers also have some different cultural backgrounds in them also. Her grandpa which was my great-grandfather was a man from the islands. Although I never met him just seen photographs was mixed with two different races. One side of his family was from Haiti. To be exact it may have been Port a Prince’ I believe which is the capitol. The other part comes from the Virgin Islands. Although I’ve never been there I’ve been told that it is a very beautiful place. So this my ethnic background on both sides. Although it may seem like a lot I think or consider myself black. Yes black, a black man.
