black american's
A term usually used to referred to Americans of African ancestry. Most in the Americas (and Caribbean) are the descendants of slaves that were brought to the
New World by Europeans during the Trans-atlantic Slave Trade. There has been some small controversy over whether to identify Black Americans as African-Americans, as a result of the little identity that many Black Americans have to Africa(e.g., in most Black families, you have to go back an ample number of years to actually find the AFRICAN ancestry; Also, most Blacks in the Americas are not just pure African, as a result of the slave trade and other race mixing throughout the years.) The terms however are used interchangeably, although Black Americans, for example are not able to aply for some of the same
scholarships as actual
Africans. This, as everyone else, is a unique group of people. Many members of this race are unfairly
discriminated against, as a result of racial
stereotyping, however, unlike many perceptions, many do not let this stop them from achieving their full potential. However, this, as previously stated, is a wonderful race of people, that has achieved much in the long struggle for equality. Unlike other definitions, ALL Black people are not
trifling, uneducated, lazy, ignorant, and other degrading adjectives.
Black-American

If you are black and
your family has lived in America for so long that
they don't know the country
in Africa their ancestors originally came from, this is you. Black-Americans are often mistaken for African-Americans.These are two completely different things.
Example:
Black American: So I hear you're from Africa.
African: Yes
Black American: So am I!
African: Really?
BA: Yeah
African:
What part?
BA: (silence) I don't know but I know my great-great-great-great grand mother moved here from somewhere in the east.

Example:
Black Americans are those black people that have those southern accents. I decided to write a definition because most people do not know the difference. Black Americans are those people that swear or aren’t afraid to speak their minds. African Americans on the other hand are typically people whose ancestors haven’t lived here long. Most African Americans speak other languages and are
well behaved. If you see a black person who is
out of line, chances are they are Black Americans. Please do not get these two confused as they are kind of different.
