Email address

It's up to you, but we discourage editors from making their email address public. You can set up your account so people can email you without knowing your address. I have the ability to suppress it so that even other Admins can't see if if you so wish. Doug Weller talk 10:53, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

ok. please remove it. thank you. Sociology In Action (talk) 04:57, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Done. That editor was blocked for continuing to make some very unpleasant personal attacks. Which they continued after being blocked, so I, who hadn't made the original block, removed their talk page access. A real shame as I think they had a good point. And if when blocked they had agreed to stop the personal attacks, they could have been unblocked. But that last post makes it extremely unlikely.

Mind you, I'm not sure why they were creating an article so similar to American Descendants of Slavery. Perhaps they didn't know about it. Doug Weller talk 08:23, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

ADOS is more a movement that underscores why it's important not to classify all black people in America as African Americans, as each ethnic group has their own history & culture. However, I concur with that person that it is frustrating that persons who are not African American are preventing the distinction from being made and most likely unaware of current public discourse on the topic. Many recent African immigrants in particular have questions as to how to identify. The reason the recently banned editor created a separate page was to distinguish that it is a separate ethnicity, as it is currently being used as a racial category & synonymous with black, which is extremely confusing. Every black person or African that becomes an American citizen isn't African American. They retain their ethnicity and nationality, but our now American.

They don't retain their Nationality. Doug Weller talk 16:34, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
