Change begins one person at a time.  Individuals must, of their own volition, decide to end all that divides us.  We are the survivors who represent the fifteen percent who survived the Middle Passage.  We must take the lead to save our posterity and preserve our history through the power of unification.  Those who despise us do not know us; do not share our history or our pain; have no desire to empower us; and, through systematic engineering, have relegated us to permanent underclass status. We must save ourselves.  The first step toward unification is adopting a mindset of unity by registering as a ddAea.  Step two is to stop promoting the race myth.  There is no need to halt between Black or African American.  Simply use the �?Other’ slot to proudly write-in ddAea.  We are greater than our skin color; greater than our varied patterns of hair; greater than our hips and our lips.  None of the ethnic slurs define who we are in America.  They do not tell, nor can they ever reveal the essence of our being because we are Sui generis and must define ourselves.
