Black covers the whole African diaspora, in my view anyway.
I'm Black, and I'm American. Two different sets of qualities.

I feel sorry BUCK-O
African-Americans give African-Americans a bad name. I'm glad that he is just an American. Did you get that gem from an "African American Teacher" or maybe "African American Leader"?
You say "African Elders" like there was one set for the whole continent. That is as bad as the "Generic Native American Shaman".
Thanks guys. Although any diatribe that ends with BUCK-O can be safely ignored.
