They are considered arabs on the continent.
collectively? If that's the case then it's not true. They are Black but have an arabized culture.
Are North Sudanese considered black?

What's so funny? What I do find funny is that Western Africans can adopt Christianity and European culture to the point that they have a European language as the official one, and adopt European names, etc but when East African countries are slightly or full out arabized culturally or Muslim nikkas then call them c00ns and shyt.
Northern Sudanese people are Black but arabized culturally, I have never seen Africans collectively dismissing them as Arabs (arabs are not even a race), I have lived in Africa myself.

Even when talking about color African Americans arent the only people with the black skin color and our group has people of different skin colors from light to brown to black.
To only call AAs black people is wrong and doesnt make sense whether you subscribe to the social construct of race or not. That is something that some of you wont admit.
Our ethnicity is African American so if you dont believe in race then you would refer to us as AA and thats it.
Its pretty much known by most that some people outside of the US ignore race and only focus on ethnicity since race is newer than ethnicity.

I didn't say that only to call AAs black, I said that when someone mentions black people in general it's usually about AAs. Obviously AAs range in skin color didn't say otherwise.Even when talking about color African Americans arent the only people with the black skin color and our group has people of different skin colors from light to brown to black.

Its still wrong to mainly call AAs black and not other black groups especially since there was a bit of admixure when we were brought here and those in Africa are less admixed than us.
Something people who do that fail to admit.
You said black is just a color so I mentioned AAs other colors.

yea it's unfortunate but AAs will mostly just say they are black over AA.

Its better to be that way because it united people all over the African Diaspora here in the US and allowed us to rise.
Different ethnicities uniting has been proven to be very beneficial.
I'm south Sudanese. ...Sudanese people confuse me, some look like Somalis, some look like Ethiopians, some look like Nigerians, some look biracial, and others stereotypical Arabs.
I guess it depends on what category ur features fall in.
I look like a Somalian. .. but lighter brown skin.... with some AA traits (Nigerian looking) I feel like me and my family look like gods, tbh. The mix is the best on Earth.
Its not a social contruct.
And even if it was, it's reality. So that fakkit ass claim, doesn't negate the social impact of race.

South Sudanese like the tall dinkas? Is there another group besides them?
Yup
