In the United States, the terms are generally used for Americans with at least partial Sub-Saharan African ancestry. Most African Americans are the direct descendants of captive Africans who survived the slavery era within the boundaries of the present United States, although some are—or are descended from—immigrants from African, Caribbean, Central American or South American nations. As an adjective, the term is usually spelled African-American. African-American history starts in the 17th century with indentured servitude in the American colonies and progresses onto the election of an African American as the 44th and current President of the United States—Barack Obama. Between those landmarks there were other events and issues, both resolved and ongoing, that were faced by African Americans. Some of these were slavery, reconstruction, development of the African-American community, participation in the great military conflicts of the United States, racial segregation, and the Civil Rights Movement. Black Americans make up the single largest racial minority in the United States and form the second largest racial group after whites in the United States. From Wikipedia under the

I would like to know how do I know if certain white guys are interested in African American women. I do not want to lose out on the opportunity of love due to race barriers. Asked by Pretty 1 - Wed Nov 26 00:10:10 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. Just put yourself out there. What I mean by that is that you should just start talking to the guys you are interested in. Don't come on to them. Just talk to them. Let them know you are available as a friend and they'll fall in line soon enough. I don't know where you live or what kinds of issues might be present in your area. But where I live racial issues have pretty much died. Whites and blacks are together all the time. I see it everywhere. So just let them know that you are ready to be a friend and they'll be knocking on your door before you know it. Answered by Jesse E - Wed Nov 26 00:17:44 2008 Why is Obama labeled the first african american President?
Q. How about we leave race, heritage and culture out of the Presidency? Otherwise, lets label all the Presidents by their heritage and make them out to be the first, second, or third in their respective categories. It's sad when you can't just call yourself an American President. You divide people by saying Obama is the first african american President. You want to unite the country, forget about labels and move on. Asked by web_trace - Fri Nov 7 08:00:54 2008 - - 39 Answers - 0 Comments A. True...the media and some of the radical people are peddling that. I think to intimidate and scare people. I really don't care about the color or religion of the President...it is policy and actions that are important!
