OP...

What is the proper word to describe a Black person’s nationality who was born and raised in the United States by parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc also born and raised in the United States since slavery?

Moroccan. This is Morocco. Period. That other place across the Atlantic wasn't falsely called that until 1956.

Or Moorish, that's what we fell as, Moors.

But wat is the name of the nation fam? You haven't said anything. America is a continent.
Peru is America, but they aren't going around calling themselves American....why is that?
Either you're slow or being deliberately obtuse. The name of the nation is "The United States of America" which is often shortened to "[The] United States" or "America". By extension, people from The United States of America are American. People from Peru are not from "Peru of America" because that's not the name of the nation.

So, I am a moor? Cool. I wanna call myself a Phoenix Moor, but I have to step up my knowledge of self game first. If I was a goon, then I would call myself a Dragon Moor.

I see what OP is potentially getting at here i think. OP do you personally recognise the 'authority' of the American Judicial System over you as an individual

U can call yourself wateva u want, evidence by us changing wat we go by every 20 years its seems.
From colored. To negro. To African American. To afro american. To black . To now ADOS....point is, you have to be tied to a nation in order to do anything really.
Black people cant own land, because identifying as such is placing yourself outside the human family of NATIONS. Black people are things. Adjectives. Property. And adjectives cant own. I'm speaking status here.

And Morocco is this nation....problem is, we dont know that collectively for good reason because if we did it would put alot of these other Nations living off our land in their place.


The point of this thread is to get people asking questions, challenging the identifications people place on you and why they do it. Just want yall to start thinking....critically.
Enough of this circle jerk white man this black man that shyt.

Is it de facto or is it de jure tho? The judicial system that is
