Just wanted to clarify something. I am of Haitian, have lived in the US for over 30 years and call myself either Haitian American or African American. Klee stated "There are certainly groups of minorities who may identify with being "black" (for example, persons of Haitian, Jamaican, Antiguan roots, etc.) whose roots may not necessarily be from Africa".
All Blacks, whether they be Haitian, Jamaican, Antiguan, etc., are of African descent. The country of origin does not matter.
