Americans ancestors who were slaves are African-Americans.

Blacks from every where else Caribbean, Europe, Africa, South America - who came through immigration are Black Americans.

No where they mix and have kids then...fuck it who cares don't know

 

[Young Stef]

@marcusgarvey What about the slavery that occurred throughout the Caribbean as well as the Southern US states and u do care cause u wouldn't have posted if u didn't

 

[Young Stef]

@MarcusGarvey The Caribbean and surrounding areas also experienced slavery & indentured servitude which resulted in racial mixing but American blacks we act as if that is not plausible tho it is as well as those who act as if u can't have a fair complexion and be African American

 

[MarcusGarvey]

@Young Stef

I think you misconstrued my point. I'm saying what would you call a kid with one parent African American (as I defined it) and one from Caribbean as I defined it. That's when I said I don't know who cares.

My overall point is I consider Americans who are ancestors american slaves as African American and those who immigrants and assimilated as Black Americans or [whatever country your from]-American

 

[Young Stef]

@MarcusGarvey Which is also plausible without having a diverse ancestry we will dictate what our fellow man's ancestral background without knowing our own John Singleton hit the nail on the head we will feed into media portrayals but not do research into our family history or just research it on our own because we don't have the resources.

 

[Young Stef]

@MarcusGarvey Some will practice self hatred which is deplorable and sad cause If everyone is created uniquely why destroy what makes u an individual Black Is Beautiful Stokely Carmichael aka Kwame Toure Peace

 

[MarcusGarvey]

@Young Stef

True. I hear what you're saying. Due to slavery a lot of people considered black or African American Negro or whatever is in vogue have European heritage as well. My point is that I consider black people who roots in America goes back to slavery as African-Americans and those who came cuz of immigration are different. Maybe I'm ignorant to that. I have no problem hearing what you have to say and change my view on the matter.
