Legit question! Why do we say it? People use it like its an entire race, when really its just a nationality... The proper race name to say is Black and not African American. Are the Black people that are born in Germany African American? Lol no.

Well I am an American of Italian descent from the 18th century. Does that make me an Italian American?

Yes.
But thats not my race. White people are clearly defined as caucasion or white. Not Italian American and so on.

Then I'd say that back during the time of slavery, we just scooped them up from wherever, took them to America, and their previous identities were forcibly erased. I've been to Africa, and Africans act a great deal different than blacks in America.

Depends where you are in Africa. I was in South Africa, so I guess so. I don't see how they're uncivilized at all. We threw 500 years of technological advancement at them out of nowhere, and we kind of raped their continent and their local established cultures, so their current situation is understandable.

ITT: massive racism

You say "racism", I say "justifiable conclusions based upon study in the field and conjecture utilizing the scientific method."

because most black people in the USA don't know where they come from in Africa



from my experience, my black Haitian friends would always call themselves/be identified as Haitian while those descended from the slaved trade who didn't know their own ethnicity would formally be called African Americans and casually as "niggas"....  they would even draw a clear distinction between Haitians and African americans


interesting to see the impact of culture on personal identity. the Haitians I knew were on average far more respectful and "white acting" than most of the African Americans.


TLDR/Too Loaf Didn't Read- if slavery never happened this wouldn't be the case
