"We are not "African Americans" because there are actual first, second, or third generation Africans in America whose ethnic histories have virtually nothing to do with ours, but they're "black" (lowercase "b") in the context of “race” because we share similar physical features."


I think a second and definitely a third generation person of african descent is indistinguishable from a young black person who is the descendent of American Chattel Slavery.
