The Quaker meetings here in Cville are awfully godfearing compared to the ones in Philly, where they have the inner light in a big way. But I'm not a Quaker myself.

Certainly looks as if I'm the only African American (no hyphen) here, and that there are no Africans. There may be Americans of partial African ancestry here, but c'est pas la même chose and current skin color is really irrelevent to this thread. And yes, if you go back to mitochondrial eve or Lucy or what have you, yes we all came out of Africa, good point! Sure and I'd have to amend my above to "recent African ancestry..."
