you wanna talk semantics..there is no such thing as "more black" and you clearly have no understanding of race science and where it came from which is what the terms black and white (as we use those terms today) are derived from. Since you don't understand then you need to stop speaking on it since you have idea what youre talking about. Using the term black africans is as dumb as saying yellow japanese or calling a native american indian. In fact heres an explanation of that:
Avoid the term "Indian," if you are non-Indigenous.
Not least because it's confusing: while Merriam Webster still
secondarily defines it as shorthand for American Indian, the term
Indian is more commonly used to describe the people, food, and customs of India,
the South Asian country. While the term "American Indian" has historically been used by both Native-run organizations and the U.S. government, "Indian" evokes a dark history of negative stereotypes.
Colonizers call Africans black to differentiate them from European settlers who claim rights and ownership legally in their land and you accept that??? Not only that but you perpetuate and defend it??
The enslaved Africans were stripped of their identities and called black by their slave owners. In this case Black is a skin color designation that has nothing in terms of culture, language history etc..you know the things that make a people a people. And that was done on purpose. It's a basic component of how to control a person or people. Any institution that's designed to control people whether it's the military, prison, or slavery the FIRST thing they have to do is strip a persons/peoples identity and individualism away from them and replace it with what YOU want them to identify as. It makes them easier to control. It's the main reason why African Americans aren't broken down into pockets of individual African cultures....hell the term African American itself is a generalized term that speaks directly to that. That's why immigrant Africans AREN'T designated African Americans because they come from a specific place in the continent like Nigeria or Ghana and therefore would be called Nigerian American, etc. And you can clearly break it down even further from that to tribes and clans....all of which are cultural things they retain intact. African Americans..BLACK Americans CANNOT do that due entirely due to the effects of the chattel slavery institution.
So my question is WHY would you even want to be called a skin color designation when you KNOW you're more than that?
And if you're looking for a unifying element between peoples then that term should be African and not black as we know that African Americans derived from the slave trade in west africa.
It can be debunked because you are using made up terms like “black” which actually refers to so-called whites if you look into etymology (blac — blanc/blanco — white).
