That 'Black vs. black' nonsense has always been ridiculous and invalid.
>That arguments ("we're all black!") works until one considers >African-Americans (capital Bs) as a unique and separate >culture Which a lot of people apparently loath to do)
What you are speaking of right ^^there is *nationality, NOT ethnicity. Black people in North America need to learn the distinction. Because that type of ignorance is what had Charlamagne confused about Amara La Negra on breakfast club, but I digress.
Semantics be damn, here is the facts(as opposed to opinion):
We are all Black(as in: African, of the indigenous African ethnic groups that have been dispersed into the Americas involuntarily< < <that is a fact, not an opinion)The disconnect is, a lot of Black people in America don't know the difference between ethnicity and nationality(<this is where the disconnect is).
So when I say, Bruno is Black, I'm not talking about his nationality(you are), I'm talking about his ethnicity(of which, Bruno is poly-ethnic or multi-ethnic since he has African, Asian and European blood in him).
