If a person with African decent from Jamaica moved to America, do you Americans consider them black?
Some dude at my job tried saying my dad isn't black because he wasn't born in America. He tried saying that "black people" is only an American thing.

But what about society and what's on paper?Originally Posted by latverian41
When I fill out applications, the part that ask for race always has "Black / African American" and I select that even though I'm not African American because I'm black. Not all black people are African Americans.

I'm talking about treating people then way they treat you and the way they treat others! Judging people on their merits and decency alone and not the color of their skin!Originally Posted by Trillical
