    Secondly, when you're referring to someone's nationality, you would not use the term "African-American".

    Again, the term "African-American" is used to describe a certain group of people. Not someone's nationality.

    Seriously dude, you are making this too easy. Are you really that ******?

    No he wouldn't he would say black British, because African is not a race.

    Not an argument, but it implies that you refer to someone's colour before you call them an American. That is if you use the terminology that most American's do. That brown people must be African


    No..... like i said African is not a race. If you filled a form out it in Europe it would say White British,Black British etc etc. Nothing about being African unless you were stating that is your NATIONALITY.


    "Seriously dude, you are making this too easy. Are you really that ******?"

    Man you really think you have a grip on this LMAO, I just Julian Jackson'd everyone of your WEAK ass points of view.

      YOU said he was a mulatto..which means one of his parent is white.

      That is not the case.
      mulatto means mixed.. his parents are mixed with something, thus his light skin. Therefor he is a mulatto.
      No, he is a mulatto. Antonio Tarver is a black man.. he hasn't been mixed with anything. Ronald has.

            The last time I checked "Black" wasn't a race, either.

            The next part is really important, so I'm going to bold and capitalize it.

            AGAIN, AFRICAN-BRITISH AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN IS NOT A TERM USED TO DESCRIBE SOMEBODY'S RACE. IT IS USED TO REFER TO A GROUP OF PEOPLE.

            That's the whole ****ing point of the term, Einstein. Again, it is used to describe a group of people. These people happen to be black.

                How can it describe a group of people that happen to be black when the term African is not race?

                  Not its not. Not when you are using it to describe a person BECAUSE they are brown.

                  Idiot.

                    Because that group of people have predominantly African Ancestry ARE BLACK.

                    The term African-American is not used to describe someone's race. Nor is it used to describe someone's skin colour, that's what the word "black" is for.

                    IT IS USED TO DESCRIBE A COMMON GROUP OF PEOPLE FOR THE LAST ****ING TIME.

                    No wonder Puerto Rico is a 2nd world country with an education system like that. You have to be the dumbest kid person alive.
