no, african american means you were either born in africa and came to america or your relatives are from africa and came to america. if you are a black person in america with jamacian heritage, that makes you jamacian, not african. and muslim is a religion, not a skin tone, and has nothing to do with this topic.
what you say is totally true. And i slipped on that muslim tip, i need to educate myself more on that. But one of my bro's fam is from Britain theyre all light skinned. hes mixed with all kinda shit, now he has both irish and african blood, but since that skin is black he's marked down as african american. He probaly could find out he has more irish blood than african blood, but that black skin to certain extent makes him african american
my french fam in the boot are considered afro american just 'casue of they got darker skin. And they'll tell you theyre not black, just brown frenchmen.
my grandpa is black but i sure am white as fuck lol. although, my girlfriend and her 4 kids are afro american...and i live in a 50% bl 42% wh city...used to live in the fuckin hood and bout to move back, i was the only white guy in the projects and 1 of 3 white guys working at my job. in LA my middle school was,according to my yearbook, over 70% hispanic and 10% asian. i think i'm actually kind ofused to being a minority? in a way.
i cant stand it when i ask someone what nationality they are or what their heritage is and they just say "black". there is no such thing as being "black". there is no country called "black" that anyone comes from. im white and if you ask what nationality i am, im not going to say "white". lol
Just curious is this thread cuz of black history month? Possibly? Sent from my SM-T210R using Grasscity Forum mobile app

I work for a call center and one of the clients called and requested assistance for a home service, she asked me if we have African-American employees, so I responded "Yes... but what does it have to do with anything?" She hung up.
