We can all trace our ancestry to Africa. We are an African species.

good lord, i hope so. if you werent born in africa, then moved to america, then you are not african american. i am just american. that should be good enough if you are black, white, latin, asian, or of any decent. until 'African American' becomes politialy incorrect, i will refer to myself as 'German-Norwegian-French-American'.

If by redbone, you mean a fair skinned african american, you can test your heritage via kits sold at http://africanancestry.com/shop.htm. I plan on doing it.\n\nLots of people are doing this now and have discovered fascinating things about their backgrounds. For example, Prof. Henry Louis Gates, who is head of Harvard's African-American Studies program, found that he may be 50% white.\n\nIf your dad says you are, why don't you believe him? There are plenty of fair skinned people with black heritage: Mariah Carey, Wentworth Miller and more. See www.mixedfolks.com for other examples.\n\nAnd I'm curious to know what acting white or acting black is in your opinion. We're all products of our environments.

My grandfather told me about a cousin who did this back in the forties. The cousin went up North to live and didn't contact anyone.  My grandpa went to visit him one time; the cousin made him come at night and he had to enter the house through the back.  After that no one ever saw the cousin again.  My mother told me about some Blacks who "passed" for a time in order to get a better education, but then returned to their families once they were done.  I can see why some Blacks would pass in earlier times, but not now.  I don't agree with what they did, but to some extent I understand why.  Personally even if I could "pass" I wouldn't; I love my family, my people and my culture too much.  People who "pass" had to stay away from all Black people.  Can't take a chance on someone's "Blackdar" finding you out!

I am an African-America whose grandfather was from Ireland. My mother is Black Irish and I was told as a child that I could gain a passport and/or citizenship from Ireland by checking with the Office of Emigration in Ireland. I believe you can find that info on Yahoo Ireland.

I think you mean the South African term for a black person.  I could be completely off.

the reasoning behind using african american is that people of african descent across the globe are one of the only groups in the world (along with the gypsies) who really cant pinpoint a place where our ancestors derived from (true they came from africa, but africa is a continent, not a country).  so a couple of years ago in the us, in an attempt to say that we have a heritage too, the term african american was coined.  nowadays tho, most african americans call themselves black because not only does it connect us more with other people of african descent across the globe but it also distinguishes us from white africans.  hope this helped.  oh yea, i think you'd technically be african american.  i had a teacher in highschool from south africa and he said that he does have the option of checkin african american down on applications and what not but he usually puts white or other.

As a proud Black American (yes I said BLACK American NOT AFRICAN American).....We are not Africans. We are Americans and even the Africans will tell you that.  For millions of us our blood is way too diluted to consider ourselves to be solely African. To answer your question, I could really care less about what blacks in other countries and other cultures think of and say about us.  We have been through hell and back for the past 500 years. Our People (the generational Black Americans) have struggled and thrived in the United States for Hundreds of years.  Over the years race mixing has occured between our African Ancestors and Europeans and our African Ancestors and Native Americans.  Most Authentic Black Americans are of diluted blood and aren't pure African at all.  Our features, culture and heritage has evolved into something different than that of our African Ancestors to make us who we are as an ethnic group today.  We have our own rich history, culture, and heritage.  Many of us Black Americans don't even realize how rich our heritage is.  We don't need the approval of Africans or Carribeans or any other blacks to feel good about ourselves and confident in who we are.  We may have our problems, but what ethnic group doesn't?

I will apologise to any black person who wants to move back to Africa. \n\nSince I am Native American, you can leave MY country any time you want to- AFTER YOU'VE SPENT YOUR MONEY AT ONE OF MY CASINOS! : P

Yes they are and I can prove it, The whole bible prophecies the history of blacks, blacks have always seen the similarities but never made the connection. Didn't you know blacks during the slave trade was know by Muslims as "Yahoodee" meaning tribe of Israel? Did you know at of all the people on the face of the Earth who claim to be Hebrews would envy the Ashanti's. The name mean people for the land of Ashan in Judah? Did you it was a place during the slave trade call the "Land of Judah" by the french? Did you ever hear of the Falasha's or beta Israel, Ibo's, Lemba, Yoruba, Fanti, etc. Were call Israelites by Muslims over 1000 years ago? Look it up the Hebrew/Jewish customs in Africa, you will find lots of info. Especially in on the west coast of Africa.
