By your logic they are proud of their heritage then they should be celebrating their own countries, i.e. kenya, ghana, angola, etc... and not skin color either. White skin relates back to European heritage and culture just as much as black skin relates to African heritage and culture.
What I'm saying is that the slave trade did, in many ways, cut off their connection to their countries.
That said, I don't disagree with you. I just don't feel any affinity to white countries to which I have no connection. My family comes from like 6 or 7 white countries so I feel a connection there.
