Just fed up with people calling black Americans "Africans", which they are not. That would be like me calling chassidim in Bourough Park Hungarian Americans or Polish Americans, or Lubabs Russian Americans. Most of these black people were born in the US, to my knowledge, that doesn't make the Africans. Furthermore, I dare any white person to go into Harlem or Bedford Stuy and start calling people "Africans", I doubt he would come out in one piece. Black people have no problem calling us white even though our skin color is more of a beige tint, so we shouldn't have any problem calling them black even though they might be brown. Bsamim,

If she wasn't using an African accent what made you think she was from Africa? How about black southerner or black woman from the south.

Is it: a) A person from South Africa that moved to the states (such as my wife)? b) A person from South America that moved to Africa? c) An American living in the Southern US that came from Africa? d) A black person from a former confederate state? As far a yeshiva kitchen hygiene, why is it that almost all were roach infested? When I was in LA, we had some the size of chicken wings. Aren't bugs one of the worst categories of non kosher?
