UK Historian Robin Walker Explains Why Black Americans Had To Delineate.

[jboldeniv]

I tell you why FBA's decided to delineate. I started to see sharp divisions between Africans, Caribbeans, and FBAs when I was a young man. It started because many foreign blacks tried to distance themselves from FBAs. After awhile, you respond in kind. I realized that many of these Africans didn't see me as a brother. They don't want you saying a damn word to their women. They and their women look down their nose at American Blacks. These black women from the Caribbean, Africa, and other places, would rather date a white man than date an American Black Man. I dealt with a lot of stuff dealing with Africans in the Bay.
