QUOTE (Shaunsgal @ May 6 2009, 07:54 PM)

BTW My hubby and I went to the local office today to get his biometrics done. Do you know this man took 20 mins to decide which race to pick? He refused to put Black but the other options were not working either--hispanic, pacific islander, etc. Has anyone had this problem with their SO identifying themselves as Black or African American?

I think this is so ignorant and it irks the ish outta me, just because you are not African American don’t mean you not BLACK damn I cringe when I hear someone say I’m not BLACK I’m Jamaican it sound stupid! JAMAICAN IS A NATIONALITY NOT A RACE...

but is the option Black or African American? I don't like this generalization...

and plus Jamaica is mixed up..who knows what the heck they are...just because I have a darker skin tone than the next man...

it's not a generalization it's a fact being American is my nationality and ppl from Jamaica nationality is Jamaican, race is a whole diffrent category we are all mixed up but at the end of the day i know im black... Obama is mixed and he is not called our first mixed president he is called our first black president this is something i feel strong about if offends anyone sorry...

** I been to hell and back but the key words is I'm back thanks to the grace of god! **

not my hubby but I DO

Please explain it to me. I just take it for granted that everyone who is dark, of color (i don't even know what term to use) is to be classified as black or AA. I realize this might be construed as ignorant, but please enlighten me. I want to see things from a Jamaican's point of view and be better in tune with my hubby. I am a first generation African so I know exactly what I am with no question.

Love is a gift and not to be earned, therefore one should never hold any regrets for giving love regardless of the outcome...

In my eyes, I am neither African or American.

nEWLY..what i was referring to was being called African American..not Black..because that I am..i sure ain't White..and I too do not consider my self African I am Caribbean...

In my eyes, I am neither African or American.

i actually think that is more appropriate

I love being Black and I'm proud...BUT in many of US know nothing about racism..NOTHING..like i have said many times..I was never aware of this until I got America...I do not want to be grouped..just because of my skin tone...they clasify ppl from say Spain in a different category than the Spanish...

********************************************************************************

....when it hurts to look back and you're scared to look ahead LOOK beside you and I'll be there.....

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore... and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

That's understandable because being black is a majority in JA but here is is not, when applying to jobs or filling applications when they ask your race black is defined as having any type of ancestory linked to Africa, alot of spain dont consider themselves spanish but they are all Hispanics thats there race they nationality is Spaniards, its complicated :wacko:
