[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a feeling I'm going back and forward with the same two Jamaican/something else women. This is no longer an exercise in education, but rather one to argue and nitpick.

So.......I'm out. But in the meantime, READ people and for the love of God, LEARN. [/quote]

*back and forth[/quote]

I am one of the ones you've been going back and forth with.  I'm not Jamaican or other West Indian (at least directly) myself - but both of my parents are of West Indian descent and neither of them have ancestors who were US slaves.  They have been in this country for generations.  My point is not about whether people who have immigrated to the US can call themselves AA.  I am not trying to nitpick, but just really want to know where you got this definition from.  I've seen references to City Data and ebsco made, but I don't readily see the references that support your defintion, so I'd just like to see them.  I went to an HBCU, took several African American history classes (and was actually a history major) and I have never seen this stipulation that AAs must have had US slave ancestors.  That is the point I keep harping on, and one that so far as I can tell, you have not answered.[/quote]
