wow hun i really hope that bi-racial tiffany reponds to this video,because i agee that she dose seem to generalize black & white culture too much.like you said black & white are just skin complexions it does not define the way a person behaves or thier liks and dislikes.im mixed race although both of my perants indentify as black & i listen to rock,jazz,hip-hop & country music and so does many white people i know.our genral character has nothing to do with our so-called race.
Black is not a culture. Black is a colour. A black person who grows up in a mostly white suburb is not going to be the same culturally as a black person who grows up in a predominately black inner city neighbourhood. They may have the same skin tone, but their culture would be completely different.
I am from Ghana, use to live in the US, still have family there but now live in the UK, Arabs & north Africans don't call themselves Africans and it's only people of African ancestry outside Africa that refer to who they are by colour, I bet if Africa becomes as successful as Europe they would start calling themselves Africans, do you see where I am coming from, and they talk about racism, Jews would not seek the aproval of their nazi oppressors, but black people would forever want to be white
Ok, didn't know non-black Africans didn't refer to themselves as African, as I met Arab students in college from Morocco and Mauritania who were very proud to call themselves African, but u probably know a lot more about this mind-set than me. I agree I'd rather be called Afro-Caribbean than the color black as most other ethnic groups refer to themselves by their region of origin, however when people say 'black person' most people know what ur talking about so its easier to call urself black.
For the record, I think most African-Americans prefer to b called African Americans than black, because of the negative connotations that the word 'black' has. I really don't think most blacks want to disassociate themselves from Africa at all as many black Americans and Jamaicans I know r pretty Afro-centric even though they've never even been there.
@RoxStew5 I have a question for you: what would you call a white Capetown resident? If he/she came to America, what would they consider themselves to be if they settled here permanently? African American?? Wouldn't it go the same for a black (pardon my French) migrant to Sweden?
@woodie62 What wud I call a white Capetown resident? Exactly that, a white Capetown resident. There's no choice but to call people by what they look like. But it doesn't change the fact there's negative connotations to the color black & there's no getting around it. Case in point in Jamaica there's a common derogatory insult: "Yuh' black an' ugly!" "Anyting black nuh' good" People call themselves black but in the subconscious there's still negativity.
@RoxStew5 Well, that Capetown resident would be an African. . . a White African! If he/she came to America, that would make that person an African America, even though he/she were White. If blacks migrated to Scandinavia, they would be African Scandinavians! No, Africa is not a race. But Negro is, even though PC has scared anyone from saying so.
@woodie62 The correct term is Congoliod. Negro comes from the latin "niger" which means "black." (negro is the Spanish and Portuguese). Anthropologists argued that while 2 out of the 3 fundamental racial classifications were named from their region of origin: Mongoloid (Mongolia), Caucasoid (the Caucus Mountains), Negroid however is named after the black skin color. The origins of the black people we know today is the Congo and western regions of sub-saharan Africa. (Continued...)
@woodie62 East African "Blacks" tend to be from Semitic-Hamitic tribes which look like a hybrid of middle eastern/Jewish and black such as the Fulani and Berber. But yeah, if you just want to simplify everything, just call everybody black, or negro. I can't be bothered to get into that whole thing day to day
@RoxStew5 : Nice reply, lovely! Yes, you can call everyone the same in that region. I don't know that I would call them African. But hey, it's all good! Didn't mean to sound disingenuine. I was simply making the point that the country isn't what makes the individual nor does the culture. Too much emphasis is placed on externals. But some will continue to do it. PEACE!!
@RoxStew5 What you say in this vid about culture is very true. Edward James Olmos said something elementary but so profound: we are all the same just cultured differently. We can all love the same music and yet be from different parts of the world. And that's the whole thing in a nutshell. We don't listen to the same thing b/c we are cultured differently. That is seemingly changing for what I personally believe to be over a variety of different reasons. But that's for another argument.
you talk about culture and you refer to music, I am an African and it's funny how you refer to Jamaicans as black, it means Africans in the Amaericas and Carribean call themselves black, Jews and Europeans living any where in the world called themselves what they are and not by colour, there must be something wrong with black people to refer to themselves as a colour, but I am glad any way that you don't call yourselves Africans, because by culture and ancestry you are not, what's your comment
My ancestry is African. The slaves taken to the Americas were from West Africa & most J'cans r descendants of those peoples. Ther r other peoples that mixed in since then (Germans on my moms side, Scotts on my dads) so if u wanted to say we're not 'pure' African, u would b rite, but 4 the most part our family/nation is black. I say black bcause not all Africans r negro & when u say ur African u cud b nything from white/Arab/black. Its so diverse so what do u mean? ie. ethnicity/language/country?
@dtalaidback My God, you are dead on point! Asians don't call themselves "Yyellows" or Native Americans, "Reds". The term referred to Blacks in scientific circles has always been "Negro", as "Caucasian is with "Whites". I think it's "Mongoloids" with Asians but pardon me if I am wrong. Unfortunately, I don't remember what terms are given to other races than the ones mentioned. Will do more study!! ;)
