You're clueless.

1. Haitians(before AA's were even freed)
2. Jamaicans(see 19th century)
3. Afro-Brazilians
4. The Moors were referred to as "black"
5. People south of Egypt was referred to as "Ethiopian" which means Black!
6. South Africans(during early Apartheid period)
7. People of the Mali Empire
8. Basically every black person of Latin America(negro anyone?)

I can go on, but everyone gets my point. What you're saying is as stupid as White Americans making the term "white popular" since Europeans refer to themselves as their nationality before race.

Fact is groups refer to themselves by RACE when they lose cultural/heritage from their homeland as generations go by. Which is why New Zealanders, (white)South Africans, Australians, Americans and Canadians refer to themselves as WHITE, because those groups lost cultural heritage to Europe similar to AA's and other Afro diasporas losing connection to Africa. This isn't even exclusive to America, its just a natural thing that happens!

None of these groups used black as a cultural identifier. Not even AA's used black like that prior to the black power movements of the seventies.
When referencing "black" culture, its almost always implied that your speaking of AA culture
Plenty of caribbeans and africans will tell you to your face they're not black but "insert carib/african nationality"- American

Dude please just stop trying to argue. All those groups always called themselves BLACK.

And the irony is "black culture" would be bad for AA's because that would mean AA culture is the same as Nigerian, Somali, Jamaican and Afro-Brazilian culture since those three groups are majority BLACK! Stop arguing...

As for the bolded that's not even true and I already explained that a million times to you. Why the heck would a country that is majority black(say 90%) choose black over their nationality????

Breh im not even arguing with you.
Im just telling you the reality of the situation. Which is, to most BLACK= BA/AA. Even to Africans
Black culture is mostly in reference to our culture. Nigerian culture is nigerian culture
Kenyan culture is kenyan culture etc

Good for you but I've met way too many dominic00ns who just refuse to acknowledge that they have any ounce of African heritage.
