your being dishonest as hell with this reply
the meaning of black that we and others go by here was made by us,
But if your goin by the context of black meaning someone who is dark. Well no shyt we didn't create that but that was just referring to someone's skin tone same reason why aboriginals were black, and someone like Michael Eealy and Steph curry would be referred to as white.
But as you can see we do not go by this rubric , otherwise a Huge portion of ados people wouldnt be considered "black" because of that.
there are two different contexts for the word "black" and ours is what we go by, and honestly what people see as. Given alot of others outside of us even view us(ados) as the "black people" and not themselves they view themselves through their ethnicity. Black is simply just the tone of their skin.
White people made blackness a legal concept in the 1600s after bacon's rebellion
They decided who was black and who was excluded from whiteness
before they made that policy there was no such thing as black people or white people in America
They used our dark skin and descent from africa to label us as slaves
This is historical facts
Even til this day they can label none Ados people as african american because they created the concept
I do not know why that bothers you
We did to blackness what we did to the N word. We made it our own and embraced it but it does not change the fact that white people made us black to lock us into chattel slavery and as a underclass
the very label of black in america locks you into a underclass. Thats why some africans and other black peoples who maybe be more admixed (ala north africans and Dominicans) dont want that label
blackness in america is something that has nothing to do with skin color either tbh
because tons of mixed raced and creole african americans were locked into a lower status because they were considered tainted with blackness. Black in america is a class just as much
as a race
why do you think white people created the one drop rule? It was to exclude black people from whiteness

Don’t pay these dudes in here no mind. We’re going to all have similar backgrounds. AfAms are mostly Nigerian and Ghanian, and we have 10-30% non-SSA blood. Is what it is. I can officially tell these cacs to kiss my ass about Ancient Egypt though as I got remnants of North African in there
