It's all well and good to be african, but that is dominican republic, and those faces you see is a combination of many different races and cultures, not just African. Sorry!

that's the Dominican face, lol, and those are just the ugly people.

@kentarikhapri

Dominicans are descendants of mostly Africans not Africans Americans. Stop spreading lies.

You are right my Brotha, so are Blacks in the U.S. That what I'm saying, that's all

@BlueHerself

And it's 'your' right to do so.

However, be advised that many people in the world of academia will not be in agreement with or adhere to the same choice that you have made on this matter. =D

[APGifts]

Let's also NOT forget that the "first known use" of that (or any other) term is *not* the same thing as the "definition" of the term.

[BlueHerself]

@APGifts I don't care what your advice is or was. My dictionary is telling me otherwise and that's the term *I* use.

@BlueHerself

My advise was for you to "take it up with the academic and social institutions who are "credited" with having invented the term in the 1920's" -- not to take it up with the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

[BlueHerself]

@APGifts Merriam-Webster:

Definition of AFRICAN-AMERICAN

: an American of African and especially of black African descent

— African–American adjective

First Known Use of AFRICAN-AMERICAN

1855

@BlueHerself

This is NOT an issue of "what 'I' say" (as 'I' am not the one who created the term).

If you have a problem with the definition, then 'my' suggestion is that you take it up with the academic and social institutions who are credited with having invented the term in the 1920's.

To clump everyone under a term designed for one specific & unique Ethnic group is, in 'my' opinion, as racially, culturally, ethnically-insensitive as .... referring to all Asian people as being Chinese. =D

[BlueHerself]

@APGifts Someone who was born in the US (or America - w/e) from African parents is an African American, no matter what you say.
