At Turf Dinner this year, I was gathering emails for the Black Womyn's Collective's mailing list. One of the members was setting up the music, and I asked what song she was going to play. She responded: "African music. You know because this is the Pan African Student Association." The student is Nigerian, and I am Black. Her response was problematic for several reasons, but what made me feel most uncomfortable is that she emphasized "African" as if I, too, am not of African descent.
