I know you said you go by nationality but she is an island girl. I really wish AAs had our own visual symbol we used to differentiate ourselves from other black folks.

Fixed.

And this why I KEEP saying that AAs need to have a pan ethnic movement like other minoirty groups like the Kurds, native Americans, Berbers or Palestinians to specify our ethnicity, history and culture.

And I only go by nationality for Africans.

The Islander IGs be fukking me up because they all have pictures of themselves drapped in American flags amongst other AA cultural signifiers :russ: so I look at last names, pictures of cultural foods, birth place, and often on twitter is where you will see them tell you what they are:ld:

Yeah I do the same thing. Key indicators I look for is hair(yes, because most curly hair I've seen are afro-latinas), surnames, city/birth place, clothing attire, looks(like I said a good number of AAs have a look not seen anywhere else), music and culture.

I know you're going to disagree 100% with this but this is why I argue even more that AAs should mostly go by African-American(not the red bolded dash) and not "black" when labeling us as an ethnic group. Knowing who is who gets harder because AAs online/social media don't bother to specify but just say for example "black girls" while including other black groups. So then everything gets mixed up.

I actually agree but I see immigrants Blacks using AA as a label at times even. Just a tricky situation all around.
