The cultural roots you choose to identify with is...your business. You might say, "I'm justa 'mercican!" That's your choice. Or you might identify with Slavic roots, again, that's your choice. Who would I be to judge you for either choice?

You have no say.
According to our society he is black regardless of his heritage.
If he called hiself white the black community would call him a sellout.
Obviously you have no idea of our cultural imbalance and racist biggits.
If a man was half black and half white and stood in a pulpit at a white church and called himself white.
He would be called a biggit for tearing down his black heritage.
When we are told by society that anyone who has one black parent is black that is racism.
