Some members honestly believe that African Americans (even those with overwhelmingly European genetic admixture and completely Western mores) plus the once-colonized peoples of sub-Saharan Africa form a single "black race." Some even lump impoverished Andaman Islanders, discriminated-against Australian Aborigines, and East Indian Dalits into the vast global "black race." If you express such a belief in this site you will be expelled.
Of course, there are ways around this... and it's done everyday around here. Instead of "black race," it becomes "those of predominantly Sub-Saharan African ancestry."
Same idea, different words... though it seems that the former is the easier to say of the two.
