[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] If you had said "Its so amazingly stupid that so called 'African Americans' are called Africans despite being centuries removed from Africa, that would be one thing an opinion about an identifying term with a certain logic to it, but your comment doesn't make sense. If one is talking about "Sub Saharan Africa" the other half to that would be North African or Saharan African So if Sub Saharans migrated or were taken to America centuries ago that would not transform their Sub Saharan Africaness to North Africaness African Americans are from all over Africa but primarily from West Africa. A similarly not making sense statement would be "Its so amazingly stupid that so called 'African Americans' are called West Africans despite being centuries removed from Africa" The logic doesn't work. Somebody could argue that "Blacks" in America are no longer African because they have been cut off form African culture for centuries and have their own culture. But one could not argue that having been out of Africa for several hundred years would change their affiliation to a region in Africa, Sub Saharan, Saharan, West, North, East ,South etc Of course culture is not biology and biology takes thousands of years to significantly change not hundreds. "Black" is an ambiguous social construct term therefore it not solid to take a position on as an absolute. One could say that all the people from the West, South, East and North are all Africans but Cass Connor Moon argues that similarly Chinese and Europeans are on the same continent -yet are clearly quite different. The answer to this is get away from geographic terms and social construct terms "black" "brown" "white" "red" and look at the DNA and physical morphology. E1b1a for instance [/qb][/QUOTE]African Americans are not "African" in a geographic sense, but the culture and biology still connects to people that are mostly IN Africa. AA have a unique culture, but that culture is still largely based from Africa. That's kinda going off point tho. What I meant was that African Americans are considered genetically and biologically connected to sub saharan African [b]people[/b], even though they've been separated from that [b]location[/b] for centuries. But Egypt which was in Africa, and still had access to African people below the Sahara (via the nile), they are considered biologically unrelated to the rest of Africa by the time Egyptian civilization started. Why? because of centuries of supposed isolation from lands south of the Sahara. [/QB][/QUOTE]
