why do you call all blacks "African-American ' what if they African-Brazilian?, or African-African?, or african-Cuban?

If they are born in the U.S., they aren't African-Cuban now, are they?

Hmmm... I don't recall stating that "all blacks" were African-American... the post was about Tiger Woods.


In addition... to get technical about it, Cubans, Brazilians, and even Canadians are Americans too.

Why can't we all just be AMERICAN CITIZENS?

That is the f***ing problem with our country now anyway. We all want to be something our ancestors used to be and not what we are now.

For what its worth...naaa never mind. To many small minded people outside of the Southern States anyway. :D

the US goes by the one drop policy(left over from pre slavery). if you have one ancestor dosnt matter how far back or how mixed they were  that had african blood. your black in the united states.
