Would a Moroccan be allowed to be called an African-American if they moved here? They are more African than any black person that was born here.

Just think what a jackass you'd look like if you called a black person from South America who's immigrated to this country an African American.

His ancestors were slaves from Africa too.

Senegambia 600 years just ended 117 years ago.

Songhai empire just under 400 years

Bornu 500 years


Many of the slaves that came to America werr slaves in Africa from some of the above places.. thats just Africa


There is also a good bit of slavery going on today.

Oh dear. Easy isn't going to like that answer one bit.

I know what his narrative is...and he knows it's bullshite which is why he's ignoring my rather pointed question.

Why do we refer to a segment of our population this way? It's divisive. I am referred to as "White" - no biggie. What's wrong with "Black?"
Fact - there is no such thing as a white Black person.
Fact - there are many, many white African - Americans.

Not meant to create strife...just an honest question.
When we ALL be considered Americans?


Black people are fine with being called black people. You're inventing shite to get outraged about.

An industry devoted to skin lightening in the Philippines is equivalent to slavery and Jim Crow?!?
When a poster like you can't reply intelligently you resort to twisting someone else's words.

YOU were asking what other countries practice racial discrimination. I gave you examples.

The US technically only had slaves for under 100 years.

Using your standard the numbers of years of slavery skyrockets in other countries that passed slavery on to the state that succeeded a failed state. The biggest reasons its not worse is due to overall turmoil in Africa.

Im not even understanding this 400 year math. Thats an end at 1892 if it started with Columnus. So a math lesson is obviously needed here.

And let's not forget about Spain, you know, basically wiping out an entire Continent.

But no, the U.S. is the only place with a tarnished history.

shite, alot of people don't know that Spain still occupies a small portion of Morocco and fights like hell to this day to keep Africans out.

African Americans/blacks are the most self entitled group in America.
