You seem very upset by this. Why are white dudes so angry about who is Black and who isn’t? White folks get to pretend they invented the entire planet and you’re upset at how folks choose to identify based on criteria you don’t understand nor do you care to learn.Their citizenship is American, born in America, spoke English, eating American food, listening to American music, dressing American, and nothing African about them. However, they call themselves African Americans.
If they are so charming about Africa, why don't they go back to the land of their ancestors? Why do thousands of Africans travel to America or try to obtain an American visa every year? Do they think of America as the evil that enslaves their ancestors?
African people can be Black, White, Asian, Arabs and the list could go on. These fools think that their skin colour defines who you are.

What do you get out of these endless race-baiting threads? Just curious.
If they are so charming about Africa, why don't they go back to the land of their ancestors?
May as well get right to the crux and ask everyone if they want to change themselves to another color/ race et al
I sometimes call myself Italian or Italian-American even though I’m 3rd generation American. Should I go back to Italy?
Black people started calling themselves African-American because it beat the **** out of being called colored or negro or any of the derogatory crap they were called.
Today’s gonna suck if one of the first things I read is idiocy like this.

I had a realtor who was an African American. She was white and she had a British accent. Charlize Theron is an African American. The list goes on and on.
Putting a country or continent before American indicates where your ancestors Originally came from.

Precisely. I willing to bet the OP has no problem with Irish-Americans or Italian-Americans.
Race is much more than skin color.
Yes, but morphological differences are just as telling as if you correct for either bone structure or skin color separately, you could still tell between races.One of the major characteristics of race is skin color
Caucasian races (Aryans, Hamites, Semites)
Mongolian races (northern Mongolian, Chinese and Indo-Chinese, Japanese and Korean, Tibetan, Malayan, Polynesian, Maori, Micronesian, Eskimo, American Indian),
Negroid races (African, Hottentots, Melanesians/Papua, “Negrito”, Australian Aborigine, Dravidians, Sinhalese)

There's a huge difference between society referring to Europeans as hyphenated Americans (we don't) and the compulsory naming of black people as AA.
AA has become synonymous with race, not ethnicity.
Name one time either Cuomo was called Italian-American. We just don't do that with white people, as a society.
But we do it with black people.
Europe isn't "my people". Americans are my people.
Yes you do; you call yourselves 'Anglo-Saxon' despite not having being born in either Britain or Germany. And why don't you call folk American-Italian? I would have thought the surnames like Cuomo or Giuliani might give people a clue as to their heritage.
