That's a cute question, but no honey. Technically, you would be African-American, but that definitely would not make you black. Now you have me wondering if I am African American because I'm black, but I'm not from Africa.

You were born in Africa, but are of some sort of european "white" heritage? If you're white skinned, then I guess you're white, but you are still African American if you were born in Africa, just not "black." Doesn't really matter much anyway, does it?

Funny you should say this because I know a white man that moved here from Africa and he, himself says that he is truly an African-American. Also my brother-in-law is from Morocco and he has children with my sister-in-law, I guess you can say are African-American. I guess, right?

you have got to be kidding.....to be black, you have to be black to some extent. there are lots of Africans that are not black, like the Mediteranean country arabs See Map from Morrocco east to Egypt. Also Many White people have been in Africa for generations, like the Dutch (boers) in South Africa....They may be African, But they would never be considered black.
Black (negroid) is a Scientific Race Designation...To be black, you have to have the DNA of this group

not sure i understand the question....it's all jumbled up. Are your parents white? If so, since you were born in Africa, you're African by birth but your race would not be Black, you're still Caucasian.

No but you would still be African, and if you became a citizen could be classified as African American
