The Distinction and Preservation of Negro American
Introduction
As a Negro American, I am increasingly frustrated by the tendency of Sub-Saharan Africans and newly identified Black-African American immigrants to conflate their identities, cultures, and experiences with those of African American heirs. This conflation disregards the unique history, achievements, and struggles of Negro Americans, and undermines the rightful legacy that belongs to us as descendants of American chattel slavery.
Issues with Federal Classification
The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has played a significant role in this issue by removing the terms “Negro” and “Negro American” from official classifications. This bureaucratic change has contributed to the misclassification of Black African Americans as a distinct race, grouping us together with Black foreigners and immigrants. Such conflation not only distorts our history but also violates the constitutional and civil rights protections specifically afforded to Negro Americans and their heirs.
Legal Action for Preservation
In response to these ongoing issues, I have recently filed a lawsuit in my capacity as the Negro Ambassador of the Negro Black Nation United-World Government. The suit seeks a declaratory judgment to separate and protect the preserved history of Negro Americans and their identified heirs—known to all in the United States as African Americans descended from chattel slavery. It is imperative to clarify that we are not Afrikaans from Africa who are now claiming the historical accomplishments of another group through distortion, cultural infringement, and misrepresentation based on superficial similarities such as skin color.
Impact on Civil Rights and Reparative Justice
These issues extend into anti-discrimination efforts, educational and socioeconomic patterns, and institutional practices within learning environments. Such practices are often designed to undermine the authentic struggles of Negro Americans and dilute the true legacy of civil rights. The demand for freedom and reparative justice is rooted in the unique experience of Negro Americans and must not be compromised or misappropriated by those who do not share this specific heritage.
Black is a term, Negro is a ethnicity of a group of people who was stolen from negro-land and put into slavery.. I am a Negro-American freed from the punishment of evil doers and on my birth certificate wish is a vital record that tells the less informed people that I am a “Negro American person” that will not be reduced to a term despite of the shameful actions of American slavery.
