Defining the "African-American"

[Blackout]

It's because the "concept of Race" doesnt exist outside of the Americas. America is literally the "belly of the beast" when it comes to White Supremacy thus the concept of "Black" comes into play. Someone born in say Mali, has no concept of "Black" unless they have had interaction with non "Blacks" but even then in Mali they would still be referred to by their Tribe.

IMO African American is to the US as Yoruba is to Nigeria. It is an ethnic group native the the land it is in.

IMO someone who's parents are from say Ghana, but they are born in the US is not an African American they are what ever their Tribe is ethnically, but Nationally American thus they are Black American.

So if you have a hospital with 5 kids who's parents are from Harlem, Lagos, Kingston, Haiti, and Atlanta they'd all be Black Americans, but ethnically each one is different.

We are all united by our Blackness and the history of all of our ancestors is what unite us.

I know all of this though lol.

Yet that is why foreign blacks tend to wrongfully say they arent black because they do not fully know about the concept of race.

'Their not wrong, they are just ignorant to the rules of White supremacy. The Concept of Blacks didnt exist until non Blacks said so. If it wasn't for White Supremacy, the terms NEgro, Black, Colored, etc would be meaningless to our history.

They are wrong because they say only AAs are black. They do not say that the concept of race doesn't exist.

You either subscribe to the concept of race and follow its rules of its classifications or you do not subscribe to it at all. Like religion.

They say AA are black because Black is what they see AA referred to.

If you have been called Steve your whole life but in France everyone your skin color is called Mike, and you go to france and refer to these people as Mike and when asked you say you are Steve, who is right?

Quit using blanket statements also, you have immigrants who understand the concept of Black, and you have those who do not. To say they are wrong is to say they are wrong because of what a white man told you is law.

Racism White Supremacy is a system that doesnt follow logic, so we need to stop trying to apply logic to it. Black doesnt exist, our skin is not black, there was never a tribe called black, Africa is what unites us all we are only using the term Black because we are in a system in which we have to play by the Rules of White Supremacy.

The concept of race is something that you either subscribe to or you dont.

If you dont subscribe to it then nobody is black. If you subscribe then AAs arent the only ethnicity that is black.

So for anybody to say that only AAs are black that must mean that they subscribe to it and therefore they must follow its established rules. According to the rules AAs are not the only ethnicity that is black so they are wrong when they say such a statement.

Either you subscribe to it or you dont. There is no in between.

If you want to play the rules of the concept of race then understand them.

Nobody is Black. You are only Black because White People called you black, why is this a hard concept to grasp?

An African American and someone from the Ivory Coast can be similar genetically, and for bonus points they are 8th cousins due to a common ancestor, cool lets call them black.
An African American and An Ethiopian are not similar genetically, share no ancestors via Slavery, yet both are called Black
An African American and an Indian share the same skin color, but the Indian is not Black

Black is a Color, nobody is the Color Black, your ancestors never called themselves black.

When your ancestors came to America they did not say "a bruh I`m black", a white person told them they are Black.

How can you and other "blacks" around the world be something that they never defined as being?

Are you telling me White people are so superior that what ever they say is Law?

The concept of Black is illogical and idiotic, the same way the concept of White Supremacy is idiotic.

Literally if White people called us Du Rag instead of black we would be arguing if the concept of being a Du Rag was valid or not.

Africa is what unites us, not a Color called Black. It is more logical to call us all Africans instead of Black being at least at some point in history we all had an ancestor in Africa, we have never had an Ancestor the color Black nor an ancestor from a place called Black.

Do not put words in my mouth.

If you do not suscribe to the concept of race then say that.

This whole AAs are the only black people is wrong even if you subscribe to the concept of race or not.

Christ your an idiot.

You have no proof that I am an idiot.

I know what the concept of race is, I know that it was created by white people and I know its rules.

What we are discussing is its rules and you are going off topic.

Correction: The concept of race came from white people.

Yet my point still stands.

We are discussing the concept of race. Either post proof that Im wrong about its rules or sit down.

Then take a seat dumbass.

In your post you said this:

we are only using the term Black because we are in a system in which we have to play by the Rules of White Supremacy.

How do you expect to play by the rules if you dont even know them?

Because you have people who dont know much about basketball thinking its ok to double dribble in basketball. Yet when I bring it up that its against the rules to double dribble in basketball you call me an idiot.
