This is where that whole we all black thing fails .Why should african american males care who a dominican chick is dating?
Dominican is a nationality not a race
black in the american context means black american descendant of american slaves. Zoe saldana is not black in that sense. Black is very much a distinctive cultural identifier aswell

you'll have plenty of them say im not black im jamaican,haitian etc. I dont know of any "blacks" that chose the term BLACK as a way to identify culture and their people. Black has been a way to describe americans of african slave descent since the seventies
This dude lives in a world where Usain Bolt, Idris Elba, Kardinal Offishall etc. aren't black.
You think black is only a term used for African-Americans? Are you really this fukking clueless?you'll have plenty of them say im not black im jamaican,haitian etc. I dont know of any "blacks" that chose the term BLACK as a way to identify culture and their people.

me being mad or jealous that zoe saldana married a cac, is like a nigerian being mad that a barbadian woman married a cac. Its like who cares we have our own set of women
Using the term black to describe brown skin people of african descent has been around for thousands of years. But in the modern age no culture has embraced the word to identify and prescribe culture in the way that americans have. Culturally afro caribbeans are jamaican,trinidadian etc they are not blackYou think black is only a term used for African-Americans? Are you really this fukking clueless?
Every single country in the world uses the word black. Afro-Caribbean people identify as black. Yes even in the Caribbean, not just in the US.
You're making yourself look like an idiot.
Just fukking stop it. Have you even been to the Caribbean before?Using the term black to describe brown skin people of african descent has been around for thousands of years.

Exactly my point. Nobody before american blacks embraced the word black like that. A jamaican will tell you to your face that hes not black hes jamaican same thing with dominicans. And they're absolutely rightJust fukking stop it. Have you even been to the Caribbean before?
There is no universal black culture.
Stop it. You're embarrassing yourself.
That's bullshyt. Yeah, Dominicans will say that, but not Jamaicans. Go to Jamaica and tell them that they aren't black. FYI I'm currently in the Caribbean and every single person that's black identifies as such.Exactly my point. Nobody before american blacks embraced the word black like that.
