What is an African-American?
Welp, originally I think the left did everything they could to convince Americans with family roots in Africa that they were so hated and reviled by conservatives that they would have to band together to survive and define themselves apart from the rest of the US. From there, the Byrd Democrats worked to capture the votes of that group, claiming Dems would help restrain conservatives whom would otherwise work to oppress and ultimately destroy them. Without the left and the Deep State MSM concealing the truth and fanning division, the group will be able to define themselves apart from “the narrative” and will be able to answer your question.
FAKE NEWS said that 50% of that group preferred to be called “black Americans” and the other %50 preferred the term “African Americans”. Now, I doubt there is truth in that - it was just the Dems/MSM further dividing the group so that they wouldn’t unite - easier control with division, division, division. I look forward to putting these fake divisions and strife that were artifically used to separate races, and then within races foment division, behind us. Imagine what we could do if we again became a melting pot? “The best is yet to come.” Donald. J. Trump
