Are the African Americans moving to other parts of the US? Other parts of California? The Inland Empire? Middle class suburbs? Doubling and tripling up on living accommodations?

Please give me your opinions about where all the African Americans are going.

Can you tell me are they Africans or are they Americans? they can only be one or the other. But their maybe a few that can say I am African American that have duel citizenship.

But its not all about you now is it?

No, most who live in South Africa are Zulu, Xhosa, and Tswana, and had lived in the region for thousands of years before the arrival of any troublemaking invaders from the Netherlands, and Great Britian.

So I don't think the descendents of Dutch and British invaders are in any position to say how African/American terms should be used in America, in regard to African-Americans.

Here in San Antonio, Houston and Dallas the same things are happening. the African Americans are moving on up , I said moving on up to the East side

Speaking of the term "African American" I was wondering if a child born in the USA to white South African parents would be considered an African American??

I assume not, because the US government doesn't consider Arabs or Berbers to be African-Americans it would probably not consider the descendants of Europeans who lived in SA or the old British, French, and Portuguese colonies to be "African-Americans".

Well Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morroco are part of the continent of African. Technically speaking a Libyan American for instance is also an African American.

*Some* are going to Southern states, usually Louisiana, Texas, or Mississippi.

But *most* are moving to the Inland Empire, Antelope Valley, and Las Vegas. Palmdale, Moreno Valley, and San Bernardino seem to be particularly popular.

Black Americans have a lot of white ancestry i think. Look at people from west africa and African Americans. most african americans are from west africa. I think that'
s a valid comparison. Some(many?) Indians do have black skin. a small %age even look east asian. most non-indians (or even indians perhaps) don't know that.
btw i'm indian-american.
