How has the experience of African Americans and the relationship with the American Government shaped and affected the attitudes of African Americans?
First, I would like to ask you a question. Are you of an African American background or are you African American? I was kind of confused in your initial entry. Most African Americans understand that our ancestors were raped throughout history so your skin color is no mystery. I believe the American media has led African Americans to try and change, and at times deny or hate their own (darker) skin complexions which I, bythe way see as a symbol of dominance and strength. Love the skin you're in. After all its yours for life! Coming from an African American background I think that slavery of African Americans in this country still has a negative affect on black people. The things that were taken away from our ancestry, has an affect such as the number of poor blacks in America compared to even hispanic. Since we were here before them, I would think that we should at least be a step ahead right, We are not ahead of them because we never received reparations for the things that we went through during slavery. Many blacks feel bad that our ancestors were not strong enough to overcome the American government and get what was owed to them, however we don't know exactly what things were like back then, my point is there could have been a good reason things worked out the way they did Hispanics have their own wealth that they worked for many blacks have a strange feeling about that, envy. My skin is very light and to most black people I am not black because my skin is not dark enough. African genes were taken away from my ancestors during slavery, that is the story that was passed down, I have visible European genes. BOTH OF MY PARENTS ARE AFRICAN AMERICANS AND TO BLACK PEOPLE i AM NOT BLACK, BACAUSE MY SKIN IS YELLOWISH TAN, NOT LIGHT BROWN NOT DARK BROWN. SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY

You can tell if you perform an ancestry DNA test. Sometimes its not enough to go by appearance alone. But African American is just one category of 'African'. You can be of African ancestry and not be American. In the USA, it's no longer important to be of African ancestry since the Jim Crow era is in the past and no longer applies today.

What made african americans bow down what was promised to them to become us citizens?
What initially caused African Americans to bow down was a whip in the hands of slave holders and overseers. After slavery was abolished it was repressive laws of a wide variety or sorts and ignorant people who did not see their value (and in some cses did not even see them as people). After slavery they were promised "40 acres and a mule" (enough to feed their families) but few received that. They were promised equal rights but that turned out to be a long road.
