Black or African-American?

I've pondered that as well, though if I understand correctly, many of our dark-skinned Caribbean friends actually arrived there as first-class passengers on the beautiful ship, Slave Trade. So, would they be African-Whatevercountry?

Or what of the very mixed heritage of the Puerto Ricans?

Perhaps, but how many generations do you go back? Technically we're all African American - or well, the Americans on this board anyway...
