Svartir Bandaríkjamenn
Svartir Bandaríkjamenn eru Bandaríkjamenn sem komnir eru að öllu leyti eða að hluta til frá svörtum kynstofnum Afríku.[1][2] Enska heitið „African American“ vísar þá oft sérstaklega til afkomenda bandarískra þræla.[3][4][5]
Samkvæmt kynþáttaflokkun Bandaríkjanna eru svartir Bandaríkjamenn þriðji stærsti kynþáttur landsins á eftir hvítum og fólki frá Rómönsku Ameríku,[6] með rúmar 40 milljónir manns eða tæp 13% Bandaríkjanna.

Thus, not all Blacks in the United States are African-American (for example, some are from Haiti and others are from the Caribbean).“

The reason we use an entire continent (Africa) instead of a country (e.g., Irish American) is because slave masters purposefully obliterated tribal ancestry, language, and family units in order to destroy the spirit of the people they enslaved, thereby making it impossible for their descendants to trace their history prior to being born into slavery.“
