as if that little distinction doesn't help... it's all the same to white people... it doesn't fukking matter...
Not true. Even though America is a continent (not a country *U.S. took ownership of the word America*), AA's are U.S. citizens in the USA. I get what he's saying, but no. Also, AA's have their own culture.
P.S. Black Canadians and Mexicans wouldn't be AA. Why? Because they don't have the same culture as us nor went through the struggles in THIS country like AA's have.
Still, at the end of the day, we are all 'children and descendants' of the motherland. You all are my brother and sister in the struggle

Continental “Americans” (That is, people who live in North & South America) of African descent have been called African Americans for many years. Santeria and and Obeah are classified as African American Spiritual Systems.

If you're black and born in the West you are most likely the descendant of slaves. West meaning america, jamaica, brazil, haiti, Trinidad, etc.
If you are black and born and raised in America/live in America you are considered African American. The vast majority of children of Carribean immigrants that were born and raised here consider themselves African American.

Santeria and obeah are both off shoots of nigerian spirituality systems.
Santeria = watered down version of ifa
Obeah = watered down version of odinani

In the way that diasporan peoples come into their own brand of African culture, our religious systems follow that. Watered down, mixed, syncretized- whatever, Santeria, Candombie, Spiritual Baptists, Quimbada are all considered their own belief systems (however related to their splintered roots they me) encompassing Afro American religion

There is no “American continent”. There are two continents in this hemisphere...

Only jamaic00ns see division between the African Diaspora. We should just call ourselves African. That elitist mentality is a vestige of slavery, where there are "good" slaves who are conditioned to believe they are both separate and not equal to those rebellious ******s. There is no good slave or bad slave. But I had to check my 90 yr old Grandma about this.
All Black America need is more Jamaicans to fix this country straightaway. Then why is a small island full of Jamaicans so mashed up Grandma? Jamaicans are exceptional, you and your generation born in america dont know you cultureYour kids, our parents, dont speak patois at home, dont cook jamaican food at home, dont even send a tin of mackrel back to Jamaica but visit every year and stay at the white man resort. They all relate more to white americans then both their countrymen they left behind and the africans already here. You too young fi understandSo your response to my need for a better explanation is im old and i say so? (sucks teeth) Well let me give you some bible.. .
