Thus, not all Blacks in the United States are African-American (for example, some are from Haiti and others are from the Caribbean).“

Sótt 7. mars 2018. „African American refers to descendants of enslaved Black people who are from the United States. The reason we use an entire continent (Africa) instead of a country (e.g., Irish American) is because slave masters purposefully obliterated tribal ancestry, language, and family units in order to destroy the spirit of the people they enslaved, thereby making it impossible for their descendants to trace their history prior to being born into slavery.“
