Who Decided To Change The Names of Black Americans To "African-Americans"? Why Did The Government "Cooperate" So Eagerly By Inserting The Meme In Schools?


According to Wikipedia "African-American history is the portion of American history that specifically discusses the African American or Black American ethnic group in the United States. Most African Americans are the descendants of captive Africans held in the United States from 1619 to 1865. Blacks from the Caribbean whose ancestors immigrated, or who immigrated to the U.S., also traditionally have been considered African American, as they share a common history of predominantly West African or Central African roots, the Middle Passage and slavery."

LOL--they are descendants of captives who were released from European jails--indentured servants.

DV--at what point in history did the people you are referring to become known as Black Americans?

They were. Oliver Crommwell in 1649 enslaved 40,000 to 100,000 Irish royalist soldiers and shipped them to the Caribbean and to the now U.S.
