Redefining "black"

In this article, the first paragraph is talking about their opinion on what he is. "Among African Americans, discussions about his racial identity typically vacillate between the ideologically charged options of "black" versus "not black enough" or between "black" and "black, but not like us." In that statement they were saying that how a racial identity goes. They were also talking about how many Africans came into the U.S. and also from the Carribean. They was also talking about Secretary of State Colin L. Powell's culture from when he was running for president in the mid-1990's. In the next paragraph they was comparing the differences between the Native african Americans and the Africans that came from Africa. They are also talking about how America say that black people are different than Africans. They keep saying that there is a difference in being African and African American. This Article is mainly about how society sees a difference between being African and African American.
