This raises an interesting point. Is someone like Idris Elba considered black excellent with his prominence in Hollywood despite not having the American black experience? Are Carribean immigrants like Rihanna held under the same light as well?
There's definitely a clear distinction between those who have been here for generations.
Black excellent is simply a catch phrase. Being black american is your lineage. Marcus Garvey wasn't black american either and to this day black americans praise him.
