My Ethiopian friends who live in America are always picked on by African Americans who taunt and tease them that they aren't 'black' because they don't 'act like black people' meaning they don't conform to how African Americans dress and act, but my friends are by far the blackest people I have ever seen (in terms of skin color).

My Ethiopian friends have an African ethnicity and as for what race they are according to African Americans... Well...not sure because African Americans say they aren't black.

News flash to African Americans I love all of you, but not all black people in the world act and dress like African Americans and that does not make them not black. Please respect people who are all shades of black and who have all types of ethnic backgrounds. Just because someone, in your opinion, doesn't 'act black' according to your African American ways doesn't mean they aren't black. Black people in France act and dress different than black people in South Africa, who act and dress different from black people in Russia, etc etc - it does not mean they are not black

(I am using the word black as a skin color and not as a racial slur just to get my point across in such a small text space, please don't take that the wrong way, it is just solely to try to be clear about my point in this text).
