I thought black was the diaspora


Those who went through trans Atlantic slavery


Africans seem to only be black when it’s convenient
Like immigrating to the US and taking up all the resources fought for by ADOS

If they integrated and knew their place I wouldn’t even mind but they come entitled and arrogant and ungrateful. Telling us they aren’t black and sucking up all the benefits like the end of legal segregation scholarships jobs etc. Pretending to be black for Cacs for opportunities.

I've got a question for African Americans who are hellbent on claiming "Black". What do you think Africans who reside in other Euro/Asian nations are referred to?? Individuals of Sub-Saharan ancestry are for all intents and purposes black. Be it from phenotype, political and cultural identity If the need is to create distinction between all African derivates - Anglo, Caribbean, Latin versus African American. You'll have to find another word that isn't "Black". This is the second place I've heard and continue to encounter sentiments from people proclaiming Africans aren't Black. The first was when I heard of "stromfront" and decided to see what that was all about.

Afro would be a better descriptor than black.

Afro = descendant of Africa or of African descent

there were many thousands of hebrews (blacks as you know them) in medieval europe.

they were expelled from england, france, italy and so on to portugal and spain.
