I noticed that whenever I talk to other African americans and i ask them what they are, they say "im just black". What the hell is that supposed to mean, Im black too!
I'm Haitian, But ive noticed AA's substitute black in for their ethnic group and they dont realize its a racial group, whenever people ask me if im black I always say no "Im Haitian" cause i dont want to be confused with being an AA even though I know Im black.
Just in case some people dont know, Black is a Race, Not an ethnic group, an ethnic group is a group of distinct people within a race. Haitians are Black, Jamaicans are black, Trini's are black, and most tribes in africa are black.
So claiming black as an ethnic group is wrong.
HMPH!!!!
I dont think It's a big thing. When people say I am black. It's their way of saying I am African American not Haitian or Jamaican American just African American that's it. It's just a bit of slang you are saying African American by saying I'm just black. because a person will tell you if they are more than african american. so yeah
