I do in the sense of having a particular experience attributed to my locality and descendance. Combine those two and you get locaility (US) and descendance (African: former slave).

Growing up, I would have considered myself a person from my area of my state more than from the US as a whole, though. That was something that used to give me pride when I was young because of the particular experiences my community made it through.

I don't view nationality as much of a real issue in isolation so much as what it means in relation to other things. I view religion in the same way.
