The Difference Between Afro-American, Black People, And That Other Word
After Medium readers demand, here is my take on the 3 entities of the Black being
The only way you can be defined as a “Black” person is if you act accordingly to the stereotype of what a “Black” person is. And that definition is usually by the standards of “White” people and other cultures.

The Afro-American Being
Around the world, the Afro-American is loved-and he/she is hated. Afro-Americans are exactly what the terminology is: “Americanized Black People”. Ever seen a Black person born with straight hair? Of course not, you will never see a Black person BORN with straight hair. But you see Afro-Americans all over the country with straight hair; some even with blonde hair. Some even have blue eyes ooh!
Africans are not fond of these “Afro-American” people. It is like we are looked down upon by African people. When I traveled to South Africa, I learned that Africans were not very fond of Afro-Americans. They called us “Black Americans”. I guess we were like the sell-outs.
