Charlize Theron is from Africa (the country of South Africa  Does that mean she is an African-American?

This is an confusing issue, indeed. Just because a person is from Africa does not mean that they are African American. The term African-American is specifically for blacks born in America who are from black African decent (the Negroid race). The term is not used for Caucasian or Mongoloid people from African nor for blacks who were born in Africa.

America works with the governments that are in place.  It protested apartheid, but worked with the government as a player in the international community.\n\nAmerica only truly targets foreign governments if it perceives them to in some way be a threat to America.  South Africa wasn't.

Blacks do not call themselves Afro-Americans. That's what white people started putting on apps. I don't consider myself an Afro-American nor do I consider myself and African- American. I was not born or raised in Africa nor have I ever been. My mother or father has never been nor have their parents or the ones before them. That's just another way to let others know  they are referring to a dark skinned person.

TECHNICALLY speaking, there are White Africans, and if they were to come to the U.S. and become citizens then they would be citizens., thus African-Americans.  \nThe black people in the U.S. are Black... not African, just American.

The word is "country", and no - Africa is a continent, not a country; however, SOUTH Africa is a republic on the southern tip of the African continent.

Only the American Blacks, my best friend from South Africa is quiet and unassuming, but he commented about how the American Blacks were different too...  We both figured it had something to do with the 'slavery' chip on the shoulder they carry around similar to the 'holocaust' chip on the should that the Jews carry around....

I'll say any country besides mine.  Stupid question.\n\nAmerica isn't a country.  It isn't even a continent.\n-----------------------------------------------------\nI've told you about this, mavops.............\n\nWhile former South African President Nelson Mandela, 85, scoffs at rumors of ill health, plans are being made by the nation's Communist Party to slaughter all whites in the country upon his death, G2B sources say. \n\nOne of the operations planned entails 70,000 armed black men "being transported to the Johannesburg city center within an hour" in taxicabs to attack whites. \n\nThe plans are variously dubbed "Operation Vula," "Night of the Long Knives," "Operation White Clean-up," "Operation Iron Eagle" and "Red October campaign." \n\nOperation "Our Rainy Day" was to be carried out after the death of Nelson Mandela and would have entailed blacks being transported to the largest cities in taxis. \n\nThe assailants were expected to "take over" fuel points and massacre whites. The attacks would lead to a coup. \n\nSources say most blacks in the country are aware of the plans. When racial disputes occur, blacks often tell whites, "Wait until Mandela dies.” \n\n"White people in South Africa can deny it to the end of the earth, but we are in real danger," one resident said. "This is no joke and any person with half a brain can see that this rumor has spiraled out of control." \n\nMany whites are now convinced a vicious campaign of ethnic cleansing will follow Mandela's death whenever it comes. Some are making preparations for retreats. \n\n"I have prepared myself and we have a gathering place where we can fortify for four weeks after Mandela’s death," said one white South African. "If nothing happens it will be a miracle." \n\nThe Red October campaign is allegedly a Communist plot to oust President Thabo Mbeki. Mbeki would be replaced by Cyril Ramaphosa. \n\n"I was starting to think I was going nuts!" said another white South Africa resident. "'Operation Uhuru' or 'Operation White Clean-up' is definitely no rumor. I spoke to someone who told me that some blacks in Zimbabwe have also confirmed that this 'event' will take place. My cousin stays on a farm in Mpumalanga, not too far from Johannesburg. A black police officer in that district told his white colleague that they are going to kill us like flies, and there is nothing we can do about it. And that they also don't care if we know." \n\nMeanwhile, Mandela, obviously aware of the growing rumors, last week assured the public he is well. \n\n"My health is all right," he told reporters in Cape Town. "I'm doing very well. Others have gone further and said I am on the eve of going to my grave. If that day comes, I will go and knock at the door of heaven. ... They will look at the list and say: 'Your name is not here ... can you try next door?'" \n\nConcern about Mandela's health surfaced last month when he canceled a scheduled meeting with visiting German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. The former president was at the time relaxing on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. \n\nMandela joked that when his time comes, "I will look for a branch of the ANC (the ruling African National Congress) in that world (and) I'll join it." .....................\n\nPerhaps it IS a continent filled with animals.  Sounds like it to me.

Is the African American Black or White?

An African-American is a person born in Africa that becomes an American through the naturalization process as regulated by the United States Dept of Naturalization and Immigration, just like the ethnic terms Black, Colored, and Negro, they are all defined as a Negroid person born in Africa according to the United States Census Bureau, and several Federal Courts and Laws. The academic definitions have been altered or eliminated since 1989 to misleading define Afrimericans, but these academic definitions don’t have the value as do the legal definitions, and the Afrimerican Word and definition is the only term/word that accurately, academically, legally, and politically describe and define Afrimericans.
