Do you or anyone else have any background info on this beef? I hear it often but never knew what it stemmed from/Originally Posted by StylishStef89
A lot of us West Indians/people of West Indian descent don't like being called African American, mainly because they established and created their own culture in that region. That's what they are familiar with so that's what they wish to be recognized as, which is why most of them prefer to be referred to be called black. It could also be because of the "beef" between West Indians/Africans/Black Americans
Thanks
