Theyre not Black..not everyone with dark skin is Black
Same as dark skinned Indians are not Black in any shape way or form.
This insistance of suggesting anyone with a tan and dark hair is somehow Black and immediately invited to the cookout is how Black Americans keep conceding property and intellectual property to non Blacks.
You didn’t read my original post. Race is NOT ethnicity OR nationality.
Black =/= Black American.
Why? Because Black American is an ETHNICITY NOT A RACE.
Black = Negro = Negroid under race as a social construct created by Europeans in the 1700z
If anything it’s been used by non-black diaspora as an insult.
There are Black South Americans, Black Latinos, Black Europeans, etc.
I get what you’re saying but you’re misunderstood. Black people in America do not have a singular identity to unify under, therefore we identify as black out of necessity. In reality, it’s no different than identifying as a Negro as harsh as it sounds.
When in reality, we should be more specific. African American was a start, but it was too broad and basically included the diaspora by definition.
A better term is ADOS (African Descent of Slaves). That would eliminate others hopping in and out of our ethnic group because we have no clear definition. That is the consequence of us being a people with no clear terminology to define us.
