[MikeyC]

Only jamaic00ns see division between the African Diaspora.

[Emoryal]

They are black... not African-American... as if that little distinction doesn't help... it's all the same to white people... it doesn't fukking matter...

So all that matters is what white people think huh? In that case do you consider there to be a difference between black people and monkeys? Because its all the same to white people, right?

 

[Scottie Drippin]

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 culture
Your 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 understand
So 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.. .

Your Grandma ain't shyt (rest of your family too for that matter) but that has nothing to do with the rest of Jamaicans

Even the worst of Jamaicans fry up some plantain and festival on the weekend and send atleast one barrel back a year

Your family quite clearly has some deep rooted issues with whatever family is still there. I can't stress that enough. You have lived the polar opposite of the Jamaican--American experience.

Did your people's even not want to bother dealing with the logistics of looking after you on school breaks and ship you off to Jamaica for a few weeks when you were a kid?

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.

Coli nikkas need to feel like everything is a war on The Confederacy so this should b good tho

So technically I’m African American

I’ve never heard Santeria be referred to as a specifically African American spiritual system

The Americas comprise the totality of the continents of North and South America. Together, they make up most of the land in Earth's western hemisphere and comprise the New World. Along with their associated islands, they cover 8% of Earth's total surface area and 28.4% of its land area.

• North America—the continent and associated islands of the northern hemisphere and (chiefly) western hemisphere. It lies northwest of South America and is bounded by the Atlantic, Arctic, and Pacific Oceans.
  • Middle America—the territory between the southern Rocky Mountains and the northern tip of the Andes. This isthmus marks the transition between North and South America. It may also include the Caribbean.[3][4]
    • Central America—the narrow southern portion of mainland North America connecting with South America, extending from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to the Isthmus of Panama; alternatively, the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt may delimit the region on the north.[5][6]
    • Caribbean—the region between southeastern North America and northern South America consisting of the Caribbean Sea, its islands (most of which enclose the sea), and the surrounding coasts. The islands—composed of the Greater Antilles, Lesser Antilles, and the Bahamas—are also known as the West Indies (or, in some languages, the Antilles); they are often included in the region of Middle America.
• South America—the continent and associated islands of the western hemisphere. It is chiefly in the southern hemisphere and lies between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, southeast of North America.

If you want to make sub-division, go by language (Anglo, Latin, etc) or subdivision (N.A., S.A., etc). Yo soy negro de Estados Unidos. Big ups to the Americas!

[Secure Da Bag]

A poster here once told me white people were black. Since that day, I ain't surprised of nothing

He may have been confused. Black men are the white people of black people. I also let out a "color me shocked " when I heard of this.

 

[3rdWorld]

I thought African Americans didnt like the title of African American..

you understand your country's name is a sentence? the continent AMERICA was named BEFORE united became the united state.. and the AMERICA part is to differentiate from other United States

i.e.

• United States of Belgium, a confederation that existed during the year 1790
• Republic of the United States of Brazil (Portuguese: República dos Estados Unidos do Brasil), the official name of Brazil between 1889 and 1937
• United States of Brazil, the official name of Brazil between 1937 and 1967
• United States of Central America (informal name), or the United Provinces of Central America and the Federal Republic of Central America
• United States of Colombia, name held by Colombia between 1863 and 1886
• United States of Indonesia, name of the country from 1949 to 1950
• United States of the Ionian Islands, former British protectorate from 1815 to 1864
• United State of Saurashtra, an Indian state between 1948 and 1956
• United States of Stellaland, a short-lived political union of Goshen and Stellaland proper in southern Africa
• United State of Travancore and Cochin, the former Indian state of Travancore-Cochin between 1949 and 1950
• United States of Venezuela, from 1864 to April 15, 1953

when Amerigo Vespuci had his name given to the continent. it was not about USA but the whole continent.

you guys just decided to name everything USA..America..

 

[BlackAmerican]

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.

The truth is that most see themselves as Caribbean, however, they will say they're "AA" when it's convenient. Besides, they have a different ethnic background from us anyway.

If anything white folks act like we all the same but we not. It’s so many different cultures, backgrounds, languages and ethnicities. You for example are British, I’m American.
