| has gloss | eng: Foreign-born Afro Americans are Americans who are not born in the United States but are of Afro American descent or have assimilated into Afro American society. Foreign-born Afro Americans have slave ancestry and are sometimes of direct Afro American descent. The difference between African immigrants to the U.S. and foreign born Afro Americans is that foreign-born Black Americans are of North American or Caribbean slave descent. Foreign-born Afro Americans can also be a term used to refer to the Americo-Liberian population of Liberia, who are direct descendants of Afro American slaves who settled in Liberia. Foreign-born Afro Americans are not immigrants as they are of Afro American ancestry in most cases; or they have an American grandparent (whether naturalized or not) through which they can claim American ancestry. |
