Pot - kettle - dense

Ice, um, Northview is right. There's a lot of complication to the issue that you're missing. Typical African Americans do not represent the full range of racial characteristics among "black" people worldwide.

Just as a super obvious f'r instance ...

Its quite obvious that when I say "black people" Im talking about standard black americans since thats what started this whole conversation.

OK, wait, I guess now I have to define "standard black people" as being the majority of black people in the US to mean people born here, not 1st generation immigrants from Africa or any other country.

Come on people...give me a friggin break.

You all are arguing points that have nothing to do with what I said. I didnt say all black people of the world are the same. I know people who are as black as night but who are more hispanic than "african american". Wait...."African american" is the official race identifier of the "negro" race here in the US but the vast majority of them have never been to Africa. What do we do about that?

You guys just want to argue. How about this.....I dont care anymore.
