Do you guys see African Americans and Africans/Carribeans as a separate people?

Anywho Florida is a really big tourist state + we get a lot of residents that come from the areas directly below us

+ the old birds retiring and college students who decide to come here and stay permanently.

It's pretty diverse.

Culturally yes.

I think alot of times people just like to ignore the diversity of blackness and act like we're all the same, but culturally some non black Americans don't understand why we do and say certain things and we likewise don't understand other black cultures like we want to beleive.


Sinpool

I also think it's interesting how we accept the term black as a signifier happily despite it being a colonial term like "Nigger, Negro, Colored", but Asians and Native Americans sure as hell won't accept being called Yellow and Red.

Great point. I've seen people from both "races" use the term to describe their people though.

I can't look at most people and tell what their ethnicity is. I can admit maybe we aren't really conditioned for that in the U.S, which is unfortunate.

White people will just be white people to me, all over the damn globe. Idc where they're from. When I used the term "Black" its more so talking about a lived experience although there are definitely variations in how that plays out based on culture.  Basically what Lew and Vonc [unfortunately] said.

I also see you & Lonz point though and agree.

Sinpool

I think most people don't see black as being special either that's why nobody really cares.

I mean how many times do you hear people say they're mixed with British, Irish, Blackfoot, Choctaw, Japanese, Polynesian, Mexican...and black.

But idk I personally like researching different cultures so that's maybe why I like identifiying black identifities.

That's true. This is why I think people really want to be other'd from the term. I also recognize the importance of culture though, so I guess im ambivalent about the whole thing.

Culturally, yes. There is a difference.
Race. No.

But that's obvious, I think?

White ppl use it for themselves. And I think the classifications of white and black were bound to be made.

I find it just interesting that whiteness is exclusive and that's not questioned, but everybody gets to be black... There must be so many underlying issues to this.
