White is a pseudonym that only applies to British,French and Germans.
Or what was perceived to be a high stock of Europeans
Irish Slavic Italians etc were not considered to be white!
Africans never called ourselves a color. We are igbo Yoruba etc.
And skin color from dark chocolate to pale skin.
Once you accept the term negro you accept being wiped out of history
There is no negro names place of origin culture or language
So, how shall we identify on the census?
@tredubois african is your race take a dna test african ancestry.com to find out your ethnicity
@kemetic-dreams this is where I’m divided. While I hate to get into semantics I shall. While my ancestry is from Africa my “race” is human. My “nationality” is USAmerican as I am a citizen of this country. My “ethnicity” is (for lack of a better identifier) is Black/Afro American as there is a specific history of us who are decendent of chattel slavery; there are specific contributions and legacies. These are things I’m proud of and don’t want to distance myself from. If I identify as Ghanan (fully knowing that my ancestry traces back to the original 13 Colonies) then am I not erasing the pain, blood, sweat and tears my direct ancestors experienced and shed to build this country? When they captured my ancestors, bred them like animals across ethnicities (i.e. Ghanan with Nigerian), did they not create a new ethnic group collectively known as the “American Negro”, the “Afro American”, the “Black American”. A people who share a common experience and culture. While I am most certainly an African decendent, I believe my identity is more nuanced than the African nation my ancestors were stolen from.
@tredubois maybe you read my comment wrong. African is a race European is a race Asian is a race
You can’t say your human without saying your african that doesn’t make sense
What are you ask? What race are you? What nation do you come from? Or what is your ethnicity?
How do you distinguish a African who Yoruba that lives in the Americas. Hmm Yorubas were a major ethnic group that was apart of the slave trade.
So, some Africans were sold or stolen during this time. If that was a daughter of mine her experience is my experience doesn’t turn us to negros.
Omowale said it best because africa has been depicted so badly. We didn’t want to have anything to do with africa, let alone for someone to call us an african- Malcolm X
Hmm ok your logic cool what do we call Asians and how long does it take Asian to become a color?
Have Asian not be discriminated against?
Do you really understand the history of the word black,which means a person with no rights
What do police officers say hey we have a human running down the street.
Hmm I work in a laboratory 🔬 what correlation does GFR test have with African people?
Africa is a continent of racial origins!
Africans is a separate word that describes the ppl.
African is not I repeat not a nationality
Africa is not a nation
What race was Bruce Lee?
Hmm Bruce Lee was born in the USA. So because he was born here he can’t relate to his homeland?
What race was Bruce Lee’s grandma?! Hmm
This always seems eerie. Africans ppl who have been taught to hate themselves don’t wanna identifies
Ppl that was taught to hate africa and their culture don’t wanna identify as african.
Any term nigga nigger bi racial Dominican black negro colored ppl of color
Then have the nerve to speech about racism
By the logic that race is human. Ok stop saying trump is racism he is human to
There is no such thing as racism
Europeans are not gods or the standalone authority what ever they say goes.
Afro or african American means Your race is african in you live in the Americas
That means your African
