Tf would they have against AAs?

Nothing really, but to kiss up to white people they would have to distance themselves from us.

You nikkaz again with this thread .
Search up "Rafael Trujillo" and read up on the history so you can get a good understanding on why a lot of dominicans are ashamed of their blackness.

black=black American descendant of American slavery. As a social-cultural identifier

I don't know what part of this cats don't understand

Lol no.

The word black is a persons race.

I dont know why you want to change the meaning so badly lol.

Nobody was using black as a cultural identifier prior to the black power movement of the seventies not even americans.

Black took the back burner to Negro and Colored

After that movement the word was associated with Americans. In the modern context black is reference to American black culture

Its still just a name for a certain race. It is used to replace negro and the offensive colored as the name of the race.

Cultural identifier for black americans is African American or Afro American culture if anything.

What about black on black crime?

You're one of those people that must be right and refuse to concede.

 

[Tommy Knocks]

the real question is why do you want them to concede to your definition of black, which is a western social construct, so bad.

I know I'm right.

This whole "blacks are only African Americans and other parts of the diaspora aren't black" is a tactic that some non AAs use to distance themselves from us.
