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 basically look for surnames and then other cultural things like national flags and maybe food. Clothing attire and music doesn't work that much because foreign blacks on the net be using and are 100% immersed in Afram pop culture from music to slang/jargon/hashtags and fashion.

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.

you can only sort these things out when aframs and foreign blacks are dealing with each other because as you know, foreign blacks in the USA will often identify as "afram" and obviously "black"

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.

true it makes things alot easier when the afram specifies they're american and their roots (from the south..born in the north or west but roots are in carolinas, virginia, texas etc..)

The diversity can't be beat by anywhere else in the diaspora. Any type of Black woman you want and we got it

What I meant with clothing is that if I see for example traditional African clothing then I will know for the most part that female is not AA.

There is a such thing as "African-American" culture but not "black."

An African can not come to the states and call himself "African-American" same way an African can't go to Brazil and call himself "Afro-Brazilians."

true it makes things alot easier when the afram specifies they're american and their roots (from the south..born in the north or west but roots are in carolinas, virginia, texas etc..)

Not only that but just have an ethnic movement that the Native Americans and Kurds have done. Basically a nation within nation. Kurds and Native Americans even have their own flags. HELL Creoles even have their own flag!

Mind helping out sis?

AAs are literally mixed with every ethnic group in West Africa. While some of our phenotype can be found in other diasporans, ours for the most part can't be found in theirs.

true for the most part

yes and yes. There is a "black" culture but there isn't a singular "black" culture

An African can not come to the states and call himself "African-American"

yes and no because "african american" really just means a person of african descent in america but that's why I use the term "ethnically afroamerican" to make the distinction from foreign blacks who use the terminology

same way an African can't go to Brazil and call himself "Afro-Brazilians."

different system in play but you're correct

Not only that but just have an ethnic movement that the Native Americans and Kurds have done. Basically a nation within nation. Kurds and Native Americans even have their own flags. HELL Creoles even have their own flag!

Which is my main point there IS a singular African-American culture but the same can not be said for a "black" culture. Anyways for stronger ethnic identity AAs should not solely go by a racial term.

Ethnicity=/=race.

yes and no because "african american" really just means a person of african descent in america but that's why I use the term "ethnically afroamerican" to make the distinction from foreign blacks who use the terminology

Again the hyphen makes it ONE word: African-American. You're referring to the one without it.

Then there should be a strong movement to make those our ethnic flag.
