What do black people who aren't from Africa like to be called?

Answer 1

Black?

Answer 2

I'm not sure, because some of them don't even have root in Africa. Some are of European descent, and others hail from Jamaica and the like.

The only way to tell is to have a DNA test done. A black man in CA did this years ago, and found out he wasn't African after all. Africa is not the only continent that bears black people.

Answer 3

Some like to be called African Americans, in America, i dont know what they liked to be called anywhere else....there are different origins of black everywhere around the world like Jamaican for example

Answer 4

It really depends on the country you are talking about. Blacks in Africa are not called "Africans". There are many different ones, Zulu, etc.

Answer 5

Were all from Africa - black and white

Answer 6

Liked to be called what? African? It's because they aren't! That's why some people say "African-American". This says (to me) that they are African as far as ancestry goes, but they are culturally American.

I never understood white people who call themselves "Irish" or "German" or whatever. Unless you were born there, you aren't!

Answer 7

They like to be called by there name

3) I still hear older ones say: "Colored or *****"
4) People of Color
