How do black people feel about african americans? and whats the difference?

I recently heard that there is a huge difference between black people and african americans. Supposedly its the african americans who are behaving in all the stereotypical manners, such as the crime, gangs, violence, poor public behavior, poor language, making fatherless kids, blaming racism for everything, etc. Is this true? How do black people feel about african americans tainting their image? And how do you tell the difference between the two kinds of people?|||THE TRUTH: not all black people are african americans. just like people assume people with chinese eyes are all chinese but some are asian, east asian, cambonian, chinese, veitnamese. the same goes with "black people" there are black latinas, jamiacans, carribean, dominican and so on|||I cant believe the other answers actually said it was the same...and they call you dumb @ss for just making a simple question...people this is yahoo answers for a reason and if you cant answer them dont even bother.



Anyways, its not the same, there is a difference and its because african american its specifically a born american who has african ancestry. A black person has african ancestry but it can be from any country other than america. So yes, thats a specified and detailed difference.|||Black and african americans are the same thing.
