africans are not black people.


in the movie Zee mentioned its his people too (or something like that).
well its not.
black people live in in USA for over than 200 years, black people are part of the american civilization as much as anyone else. africans are not americans(his people).

Aren't black people also known as African Americans?

reply

No

Could Zee not have been the son of a man and woman who'd immigrated from Africa, to the United States just before he was born? That would certainly make them "his people."

Bthr, there's a difference between nationality and race. Yes he was an American, but he was a black American.

OP: soooooooooooo wrong.

You could've fooled me.

You are one of the biggest morons I have yet to encounter on the Internet.

OP has a point. I'm Canadian with French ancestry, but I feel no association at all with France just because of my ancestry. I am a Canadian.

Why couldn't Zee have felt some kinship towards the people he was protecting?

reply

yeah, you're right. Just because I don't doesn't mean no one does, or can.
