Moroccans/Maghrebians

Some of the European entries are apparently counting people from the Maghreb. Those are North Africans, not sub-Saharan Africans - i.e., they aren't "black". 69.129.36.50 (talk) 20:42, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Read the title; African diaspora not Black. The same as Haitians are black but not African. But yes I think they meant to say Black not African coz most Blacks in US or Brazil haven't been to Africa 197.186.1.245 (talk) 16:00, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok right, is African immigrants to Italy!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.35.245.25 (talk) 21:08, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please is true, in Italy there are 2,670,514!! Demo ISAT Statistiche!! don't stop me now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.35.245.25 (talk) 21:18, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that article cites http://demo.istat.it/str2006/ as the source for the number, which reports 2,670,514 non-citizen foreign residents from African countries in 2006. The original cited source http://noi-italia.istat.it does not quote numbers, only percentages and numbers per 1000 population. I can only conclude that the number from that source was derived.

I am disturbed by the subdomain 'demo' in the source that provides a number. I'd like to see some other editor's opinions. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:24, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you vary much=)!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.35.245.25 (talk) 21:31, 8 June 2010 (UTC) NO is immposible!! is http://demo.istat.it/str2006/ please now, the black paople are 2,670,514 i don' t think soy 800,000 is vary long for now!! in Italy today there are more black people. plesa!! in france there are 3,000,0000 not 4,200,000!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.36.10.128 (talk) 00:38, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite. That 2 million+ figure at http://demo.istat.it/str2006/ is a reference to all immigrants to Italy from Africa, not blacks exclusively. And most immigrants to Italy from Africa are from North Africa, not Black Africa, as that same website makes clear. 74.12.222.239 (talk) 01:23, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I find it strange that the article refers to "Africans" inclusively, yet the table of figures has a column for "Black Africans". I wonder why. I suspect many of the other numbers in that table represent all Africans rather than just Black Africans. The entire table may be flawed in its implementation.

So the original 800,000 figure is questionable (derived via original research), and the 2.67 million figure is also questionable because it includes non-black Africans.

In any case, the source breaks it down by country, so it's easy to eliminate all the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea (Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, etc.). Pretty much everyone south of those countries would be considered black, I think. ~Amatulić (talk) 03:47, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I lighten the text a little bit by removing the constant use of the "Black" before the word "African". I think the fact that those Africans were black is abundantly clear by the context of this article and is considered the common use of the word. See the AU definition in the current article for example. Analyzer99 (talk) 12:28, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Accepted terminology in reference to African diaspora groups

I'm not sure if this point applies to diaspora groups in other countries but in the U.K. it is now generally preferred if we refer to African-Caribbeans as opposed to Afro-Caribbean, as used in the article. This is similar to African-American, whereas one would not hear the term Afro-American and the use of the prefix Afro may be seen to have offensive connotations.

Overuse of the rarely used black african expression

I think within the context of this article it's pretty clear we are referring to people of Africans origin which are black, especially since the article make a point about it. Even census canada is using the common use of the term during the recensement. http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2006/dp-pd/tbt/Rp-eng.cfm?A=R&APATH=3&D1=0&D2=0&D3=0&D4=0&D5=0&D6=0&DETAIL=0&DIM=0&FL=A&FREE=0&GC=01&GID=837928&GK=1&GRP=1&LANG=E&O=D&PID=92333&PRID=0&PTYPE=88971%2C97154&S=0&SHOWALL=0&SUB=0&TABID=1&THEME=80&Temporal=2006&VID=0&VNAMEE=&VNAMEF= Analyzer99 (talk) 12:56, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll give other few examples: http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=37442&Cr=slave&Cr1= http://www.canadaviews.ca/2011/01/24/february-proclaimed-african-heritage-month-in-nova-scotia/

What is important for Wikipedia is the common use of the word and when people refer to Africans and African descent they use black before it because it is understood withing the context. A simple Google search of "African descent" can convince anybody that people rarely used added the word black (much less Black) before it. What is important here is the common use of the words and frankly it's very cumbersome to read that way especially when it's repeated over and over again. Analyzer99 (talk) 18:14, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps some reading on the topic will change your mind.Moxy (talk) 19:19, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for those links. It clearly demonstrate my point. They use the term "African" without any constant references to the color of the skin of the people preceding the word. It's the common use of the word "African". For example articles about the slave trade would use the word Africans to describe the people who were enslaved. Analyzer99 (talk) 19:36, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

???Pls read the books...let me give you some links to pages and terms usedMoxy (talk) 19:57, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Even in the text you provide they generally use the expression Africans without any qualitative regarding the color of the skins. Making a search (or browsing the book) with the word African or Africans can clearly show that. Same result would be provided by doing a search in google or current news sites. I gave an example by using the United Nation link above. It's the common use of the word. In fact this very article was written using the word African at beginning. Analyzer99 (talk) 20:08, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can also state the African Union definition of "African diaspora" quoted in this article to consolidate my point: The African Union defined the African diaspora as "[consisting] of people of African origin living outside the continent, irrespective of their citizenship and nationality and who are willing to contribute to the development of the continent and the building of the African Union." Analyzer99 (talk) 21:03, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think we have to be careful to specify "Black African descent" because by your definition, every human being is part of the African diaspora. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 04:29, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't see what your beef is. African or Black African, they can be used interchangeably, but there is nothing wrong with using "Black African". The vast majority of people in North Africa are not Black and shouldn't be lumped together with people of a different race. Blackjays1 (talk) 05:30, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Analyzer99, the subject is intended to be people of Black African ancestry, aka Subsaharan African ancestry, throughout the world. It is to them that the literature on "African diaspora" is devoted. The subject shouldn't be misrepresented, either by commission or omission. SamEV (talk) 01:28, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Let's use a definition and choice of words as the sourced definition by the African Union and African Diaspora association of Canada (http://www.africancanadiandiaspora.org/eng/), among others. Which are line with the earlier version of this very article and in agreement with common use.Analyzer99 (talk) 02:35, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your point of view but Wikipedia is not the place to express personal quibbles about semantics but strive to use reliable sources for its encyclopedic articles (Verifiability). Here I provided sourced definition of African diaspora which are in line with common use and earlier version of this article.Analyzer99 (talk) 10:50, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I want to recall again the core principle of WP:V in the editing of Wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Analyzer99 (talk • contribs) 18:54, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dont not change this again..as you see noone thinks your right. You do not have consensus to change the wording. If this continues i will report this behaviour. Pls read Wikipedia:Consensus Moxy (talk) 19:08, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a low viewed page so consensus is easy to come by with multiple or a few accounts. I will seek external dispute resolution if the non-sourced wording of the African Diaspora definition is constantly changed for an unsourced one. Wikipedia talk pages is non-proper source. Still I encourage editors to consider the core WP:V principle above personal quibbles about semantic and discuss it on this talk page. Because WP:V is a core principle of wikipedia to prevent that type of arbitrary edition (even by so-called consensus which is not a core principle as the concept of Verifiability). As I said above, the wording of the definition of African Diaspora is the one used by the majority of the African Diaspora sources and association and it's not the place of Wikipedia to redefine expression. Analyzer99 (talk) 20:55, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are free to seek outside opinions at any time for anything - Perhaps outside help will solve this edits. We have explained Y the word is relevant and have provided references to this fact. If you believe outside intervention is needed please see Dispute resolution requests which details the various different methods used in dispute resolutions.Moxy (talk) 01:40, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see any sourced definition of African Diaspora using the 'approximate' skin color of African people as a qualifier. The African Union definition African Diaspora didn't use it. Nor is the New Dictionary of the History of Ideas or the Unesco encyclopedia. In fact all the contrary. Of all African Diaspora association http://www.africancanadiandiaspora.org/eng/aboutus.aspx all use the term African without any qualificative on the color of African people. Here the African Diaspora association of Europe: http://www.auads.info/ And: http://www.aswadiaspora.org/ African diaspora museum: http://www.moadsf.org/about/index.html. All those completely contradict personal opinion about it not backed by any sources. In fact, in contradiction with all the main sources, common use and earlier version of this very article before it was modified without any source to back the change. Analyzer99 (talk) 02:02, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Analyzer99, you're being a major pain in the ass, and I think you know it. You really want sources that say the African diaspora consists of Black Africans and their descendents? Take a look at these:

http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&biw=1152&bih=724&tbs=bks%3A1&q="african+diaspora"
"African origin of blacks"
"dynamic interactions among black communities and cultures"
"Black political movements since the 1960s"
"Africans who lived south of the Sahara and were dispersed by free will or forcefully to the non-African lands"
Becoming Black: creating identity in the African diaspora
Black theatre: ritual performance in the African diaspora

There's more, but you can see it for yourself. Enough already, or I'll see to it that you're blocked again. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 03:59, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The contentious is about the terminology used. This article is about "African Diaspora", your sources aren't, and all sources cited about "African Diaspora" which defined the concept used the term "African" without any qualifier about the color of the skin (which is not needed). Why should Wikipedia be any different? Why you're taking up upon yourself to change the term used by all African Diaspora associations, common use (like most news articles), African Union definition of African Diaspora. Personal quibbles about semantic, or fringe original theory, not backed by any sources is hardly any reason to do so. In fact, earlier version of this very article used "African" as the cited in the sources for many years before it was modified without any sources to back up the changes. People on a Wikipedia talk page hardly constitute reliable sources about personal quibbles and fringe theory and offer no proper sources to back up their claims. In fact, the 3 sources in the article intro simply mention Africans. Isn't that true? So why do you refuse to accept the terminology for the African Diaspora used by the African Union, African Diaspora/Museum association in Europe, Canada and the US and Unesco encyclopedia and the dictionary of new ideas? Wikipedia is not the proper venue to change common terminology. I think the terminology used should be the one used by all major African Diaspora associations and the African Union. Analyzer99 (talk) 08:18, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You keep saying the same thing over and over. This articles is about the "Black" African Diasporas - just like this paper is about the "Black African Diaspora" as represented in its title (note y there is a distinction). If you were to look at The World African Diaspora Union's manifesto you would see it also makes the distinction The World African Diaspora Union (WADU) having been created for the unification and solidifying the various associations, groups and individuals of the Black Diaspora and having accepted the Pan African Africancentric philosophy as the means of establishing a new global order of justice and equality for all by African empowerment for the accomplishment of the African Renaissance. I can only guess you think the word "Black" is bad derogatory term and is y you want it gone. Pls be aware that many nations like Canada for instanced use the term black proudly and is in fact a legal term used for statistics Please Note: that 'African origins' should not be considered equivalent to the 'Black' population group or visible minority status, as there are persons reporting African origins who report a population group or visible minority status other than Black. Conversely, many people report a population group or visible minority status of Black and do not report having African origins. For information on population group and visible minority population in the 2006 Census, refer to the appropriate definitions in this publication.) In the 2006 Census, the 2001 ethnic origins 'African (Black), n.i.e.' and 'African, n.i.e.' were combined into one aggregate group: 'African, n.i.e.' Prior to the 2006 Census, the ethnic group 'African (Black), n.i.e.' included general 'African' responses as well as responses of 'African Black' (as provided on one line of the census questionnaire) and African origins not included elsewhere. In 2006, the group 'African, n.i.e.' includes general 'African' responses as well as responses indicating African origins not included elsewhere. A response of 'African Black' provided on one line of the 2006 questionnaire was considered to be a multiple response and was counted in both 'Black' and in 'African, n.i.e.', an approach consistent with the treatment of multiple responses of 'African' and 'Black' written over more than one line of the census questionnaire in 2001 and in previous censuses. Moxy (talk) 09:01, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you take the time to read the definition of African Diaspora in the link you provided: http://www.wadupam.org/about It reads:

Q What is the African Diaspora? A The African Diaspora is mainly those persons of African descent dispersed from Africa into Europe, Asia and the Americas during Arab and European commercial slave raids.. Again showing my point strongly, and disproving yours about the absolute need to put "black" in front of "African", which is not surprising since it's the common definition (and common use of the word "African" which refer especially to black) and terminology used for it by almost all sourced definition of African Diaspora.Analyzer99 (talk) 09:17, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So again we are showing the term is used but you are simply dismiss it. You did noticed the word is on the page right? I think i see the problem now - Do you believe all Africans are black? .Moxy (talk) 09:34, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I took the portion of your source which define African Diaspora which is the subject of this article and the current point of contentious. Don't put that on me. As if it was my personal opinion. All reliable sources about the African Diaspora agrees with the terminology. Which is the essence of WP:Verifiability. Analyzer99 (talk) 09:54, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

O well i am done here. Will let other respond from now on ..Quote ="All reliable sources about the African Diaspora agrees with the terminology" Like the 14 refs on this page are not not there? Good luck in the future on your endeavour to rid the world of the word black -->Encyclopedia of the African diaspora. Moxy (talk) 10:13, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The sources I used are about the definition of "African diaspora" and the terminology used which is the contentious here. Even your own sources agrees with it and only use "African" in the African Diaspora definition. Hard to believe all African Diaspora associations, the African Union, the Unesco encyclopedia, news articles (including the United Nation), earlier version of this article and dictionaries are on a personal mission against your quibbles about semantics and personal theory.

France

there are only about 350,000-400,000 blacks in the european part of France but if you include the black populations of the overseas departments then the black population for France as a whole is over 1 million for example there are 200,000 blacks in the paris region of ile de france(population 12,000,000) but in comparison the city of london england(population of 8,000,000) has 1,100,000 blacks,that means london has way more black people than all of the european part of france. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.250.236.192 (talk) 14:04, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neanderthal slur

Isn't the use of this term just a cover for the Neanderthal slur, painting other people as being not pure Homo sapiens sapiens, even though no firm evidence of crossbreeding has been offered? Hcobb (talk) 18:54, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Putting a tiny note in the lead to handle this. Hcobb (talk) 04:45, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neanderthals aren't mentioned. The page is on historic migration from Africa (mainly to the New World), not the hypothetical and debated Out-of-Africa exodus of around 70,000 years ago/prehistory. Middayexpress (talk) 11:25, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of biological factors

Take a map of the Americas and draw lines at the north and south ranges for Malaria. The Mason–Dixon Line is a good estimate on the north side.

Now factor in Yellow fever, and Vitamin D and Folic acid issues from sunshine.

Given all of this, where would you expect the Africans to move to in the Americas? Why isn't any of this even mentioned in this article? Hcobb (talk) 12:51, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brazil

First off there is no category in the Brazilian census labeled "multiracial" and even if there was that doesnt necessarily mean African + other race, it would also include Amerindian + European. The category is called "Pardos", which mean brown, a phenotypic description. Many people who identify as Pardos are mixed Amerindian + European, and a good percentage of them are unknowingly almost full blooded Amerindian. You cant claim that every single person who identifies as Pardos has African blood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.85.3.79 (talk) 18:34, 30 July 2012 (UTC) 4 months later still no explanation and still not fixed...... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.85.3.79 (talk) 02:53, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Emigration from Africa

The lede states the following: "In modern times, [African diaspora] is also applied to Africans who have emigrated from the continent in order to seek education, employment and better living for themselves and their children." According to this I propose merging the contents of the Emigration from Africa article (which is hardly more than a stub) into this article. FonsScientiae (talk) 20:45, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That sentence is misplaced and should be removed; changing the scope of the entire article based on it is unwarranted. The Emigration from Africa page is reserved for discussion of recent immigration from Africa and can be expanded. The contextually very different historic migrations that formed the New World communities (who, in any case, no longer have just African ancestries) and the prehistoric, hypothetical Out-of-Africa exodus are separate topics for their own respective articles. Middayexpress (talk) 15:10, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point, but the lede states that the article is particularly about "the descendants of the Africans who were enslaved and shipped to the Americas by way of the Atlantic slave trade, with the largest population in Brazil". In that case the title is misleading.
My other source of confusion is that the article often talks particularly about black people, but the definition includes anyone of African descent (regardless of skin color). So is the article only about dark skinned people or everyone of African descent? FonsScientiae (talk) 16:21, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Though perhaps a little ambiguous, African diaspora is a common term for the historic migrations that formed the New World communities [1]; c.f. Music of the African diaspora. Middayexpress (talk) 17:18, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If so, why are there 'dispersal through migration' and 'emigration from Africa' subsections? And my previous question again: is the article only about black Africans in the New World, or emigrated Africans in the world generally? FonsScientiae (talk) 16:10, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article is about the various New World communities that were formed by the historic migrations of peoples from (mainly West and Central) Africa. While these population movements originated in certain parts of Africa hundreds of years ago, the communities that today descend from them have through time developed their own unique cultures, languages, personal names, and multiple ancestries due to intermarriage, miscegenation and other factors. Most of those population movements were also involuntary. However, the dispersal through migration sub-section is there to discuss the additional instances of voluntary historic migration (viz. "From the very onset of Spanish activity in the Americas, black Africans were present both as voluntary expeditionaries and as involuntary laborers.[4][5] Juan Garrido was one such black conquistador. He crossed the Atlantic as a freedman in the 1510s and participated in the siege of Tenochtitlan.[6]"). Discussion of recent emigration from Africa as a whole, while briefly touched on in that particular sub-section since it too is voluntary, is generally out-of-place and belongs on the Emigration from Africa page devoted to it. Middayexpress (talk) 14:11, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The first sentence of the lede contradicts that: "African diaspora ... historic movement of peoples from Africa — predominantly to the Americas, Europe and the Middle East, among other areas around the globe." It doesn't talk about involuntary migrations or migrations to the New World. This article should be either about New World migrations or general emigration from Africa which are two very different topics. At present state, it is confusing what the topic of the article actually is. FonsScientiae (talk) 19:44, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The topic is quite clear: "communities throughout the world that are descended from the historic movement of peoples from Africa — predominantly to the Americas, Europe and the Middle East, among other areas around the globe." The second sentence mentions historic involuntary migrations to the New World. I just added another on historic voluntary migrations. Middayexpress (talk) 15:41, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. In that case it should include emigration from Africa; as emigration is voluntary migration from a place (here: Africa). FonsScientiae (talk) 16:28, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article is on the global communities that were initially formed by historic migrations from particular parts of Africa, not recent movements from the continent as a whole. Though not exclusively the case, most of that dispersal was involuntary as well. Middayexpress (talk) 16:55, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This source defines African diaspora as solely migration through slavery to the New World. (1) But I believe that it the term can be mean any historical migrations from Africa. The definitions I found of the term are quite vague: some implies only New World migrations, some historical but involuntary movements. Because of this vagueness I propose changing the title to 'Historical migrations from Africa' and redirecting 'African diaspora' to this article. FonsScientiae (talk) 12:25, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with 'Historical migrations from Africa' is that it could be mistaken as encompassing, say, the Moorish expeditions in Al Andalus since they too were also historic migrations from Africa. But that's ultimately not what is being discussed here. The article is about the actual global communities that were formed by the largely involuntary historic migrations from specific parts of the continent; mainly West/Central Africa [2]. Middayexpress (talk) 15:47, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

According to broad definition Moors living outside Africa are part of the African diaspora. According to the other definition, African diaspora is involuntary historic migrations, and doesn't include Moors. The problem here is that the term 'African diaspora' can mean many things. The problem is the inconsistency: the article includes communities which were formed mostly by voluntary movements of African people (Europe, Asia, Oceania), and not only New World communities. The article should only discuss historical, involuntary movements of Africans, or should talk about general African communities around the world. How do you feel about it? FonsScientiae (talk) 15:18, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article should discuss what it's about. Namely, the global populations descended from the historic and largely involuntary movement of related peoples from mainly West/Central Africa, not from the continent as a whole. The involuntary historic migrations themselves are discussed in the various slave trade articles. This community is commonly referred to as the "African diaspora", however imperfect the term (esp. given the peoples' multiple ancestries at this point). Middayexpress (talk) 17:48, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then the lede, the general description should include this, that it is mainly about the movements of West and Central African people. FonsScientiae (talk) 08:55, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The page is not mainly about the movements of West and Central African people, but about the global populations descended from the historic and largely involuntary movement of related peoples from Africa; primarily the Western and Central parts. At any rate, I've added a note to that effect. Middayexpress (talk) 16:10, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Diaspora and Modernity

The Forgotten Afro-Spanish

I do not know if this relevant enough to be included in the article, but I find it interesting. Although most of the african slaves captured by Spain in the middle ages were sent to the Americas, a sizeable number of them ended up in mainland Spain, specially in Andalusia to the South, and they were relevant enough to have their own guild in the sevillian fair (see http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermandad_de_Los_Negritos_%28Sevilla%29).

In the the XVth century we have the example of the Duke of Medina Sidonia (based on Niebla, a town in Huelva, Andalusia), who freed the slaves that he had "employed" to build his castle, and settled them in Niebla, with the right to choose their own major. We have records of the complaints of the white inhabitants of Niebla to the son of the Duke, a generation later, claiming that the former slaves had been given "Too many freedoms and gifts". The noble rebuked them, saying that given that their inhabited his village, they were also his vassals. At any rate, it seems that they started to mix with the local population early on. Their descendants were called "morenos" (literally "swarthy") but continuous intermarriage meant they were mostly assimilated. By the last century just a few families with noticeable black features remained, mostly in the town of Gibraleon.

This is a pretty obscure topic (pun not intended) and I have found only one book dealing with it: "Arcadio Larrea (1952) Los negros de la provincia de Huelva". There are, however, several articles on the net about it like this one http://www.elmundo.es/magazine/num124/textos/esclavo1.html . It is an article from El Mundo, one of the major spanish newspapers.

The problem being, this topic does not seem to have attracted much attention outside of Spain, and I have found nothing in english about it... May I include this information with the citations I have provided?

I also doubt that Spain is the only country in Europe that has some kind of half forgotten minority remaining from the slavery years. I think that maybe information about that would belong in this article more than the data about the black population currently living in Europe, because the vast mayority of them arrived during the last century, and their presence has nothing to do with the African Diaspora of the Middle and Modern ages I think this article originaly intended to cover. Maybe talking about that original diaspora and the current african emigration in the same article is a bit confusing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.143.50.94 (talk) 00:03, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Coming soon: updates

My interest in the plight of African Americans in the US has inspired me to contribute to this page. My work for this page will be driven toward insuring that the page is non-bias and inclusive. The page is currently filled with driving forces for diaspora and numerations of how certain countries have been affected. I aim to make sure that the article also includes the social, psychological, and economic effects on diasporic people. I hope to update the article to include this information with supporting references from peer-review sources. The Wikiproject: African Diaspora lists this article as top-importance but it only has a B-class rank. I hope my improvements give the article more depth in order to increase it's rating.

These updates will take place over the next few months. I welcome edits and advice. This will be the second Wiki article I have edited; I could use all the help you guys are able to give. Looking forward to working with the Wiki-community. Ratilley (talk) 01:33, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Beginning in the 8th century, Arabs took African slaves from the central and eastern portions of the continent (where they were known as the Zanj) and sold them into markets in the Middle East and eastern Asia.

It would be nice if "took" was changed to an entire sentence of it's own describing how this was accomplished. Took is unnecessarily vague, in my opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.115.147.94 (talk) 13:35, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

African Diaspora

There are over 100 million Black people in Brazil https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/br.html and a little over 4 million Afro descended people in Cuba https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/cu.html. Where did you get 55 million from? Stop omitting information.--GodSentMe22 (talk) 01:53, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Even if we were to take the World Factbook figures at face values, how did you manage to arrive at "black 9.3%" of the 11,179,995 total population of Cuba as being over 4 million. As regards the Brazilian population, you are (as with Cuba) conflation the concept of a 'diaspora' with those who do not identify as being African/Afro-'something'. The majority of nation-states in South America use different terminology for mixed race, and these terms are often considered mutually offensive. Throwing the World Factbook (which does not provide their sources for the 2010 estimates) and replacing the reliably sourced figures with your own preference is misinformation and intentionally misleading as you've introduced your WP:OR a few times now despite what reliable sources used say. If you dispute the numbers presented, the WP:BURDEN is on you to demonstrate that you have better/more recent/more reliable sources for any content changes you make. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:31, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lead is whack

I came her to figure out what that d-word meant. Instead it's used again without definition then poorly written self-definition. The very first sentence should clearly and unambiguously define the word diasporsa (found as a misspellt word in chrome dictionary, something I've written up in Chromium bug reports in the past about so don't bother). I got confused quickly then came here. Technophant (talk) 21:01, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should North Africans be included in this article?

The term African diaspora is usually used to refer to people of sub-Saharan African descent outside of their native lands. However, in this article North Africans are included in the numbers for African diaspora in France, Italy and probably some of the other European countries as well. Thus, my question is if we should include North Africans in this article or not. Pastore Barracuda (talk) 12:12, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We should not. There was already a discussion here on what the African diaspora encompasses. In my opinion, these numbers should only include Black people of sub-Saharan African descent anywhere, including North Africa. Therefore, these numbers should be revised for France, Italy and Spain. Maxxies (talk) 23:34, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, you guys are idiots and racist. North Africans are still Africans and this term should absolutely not be defined by skin color 2601:8C:981:A3C0:6883:6362:600:D7C5 (talk) 02:08, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not idiocy not racism. In Brazil for example, people of North African descent, mostly Moroccan Jewish, self identify and are identified as white. Therefore they are not considered Afro-Brazilians.

Brazil's afrodescendant population figure

The data for Brazil has been edited to keep consistency with the article to include multiracial afrodescendants as that is what is included in the UK and US' population. the US and UK's multiracial figures include people like Rebecca Hall who have biracial/black parents and she's not even 10% African in ancestry via her test results, so if someone like her counts for the mixed black population then why is Brazil suddenly different?

- Black and Pardo Brazilians have substantial African ancestry. White Brazilians, despite also largely being afrodescendants, were excluded from the population figure

- All Brazilian Pardos have significant African ancestry, even in states like Amazonas that have had historically less to do with slavery. The averag African ancestry is about 17%, such as seen here https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3779230/

- I gave multiple sources showing that with the exception of first and second generation immigrants and showing across the board African ancestry is prominent

Please try not to use ethnocentrism about what quantifies someone as being an afrodescendant or not and be instead partial and fair. If you are going to include multiracial American and British figures in this article then do the same for Brazil Kyogul (talk) 22:02, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to reiterate my response

I have given plenty of sources, particularly in the notes section here, here, as well as other ones that correspond with what I said about Brazilian pardos having prominent African ancestry. All regions of Brazil basically have prominent African ancestry, even the ones where indigenous Brazilians are the most prominent such as in Amazonas where the average African ancestry is almost 1/5, as seen here.
The self identification of being mestiço/caboclo (indigenous+Portuguese ancestry) does not preclude someone of having African ancestry as seen in the sources above which are in depth genomic studies covering the entire region. It's also very disrespectful to erroneously dismiss the legitimacy of these sources, especially mislabelling peer reviewed collaborative efforts by multiple scientists and researchers as well as university-sponsored publications as simply being some blog articles written by "undergraduates"
I even specified in the notes distinguishing the amount of self-identified black Brazilians versus afrodescendants/pardo Brazilians. This is why we have notes. I also intentionally avoided including White Brazilians in the figure even though they also technically would apply, so no, I am not including people with merely "one percent of African ancestry" as I was erroneously accused of earlier. I also never ignored the census. Literally the Brazilian census board, as seen here, agrees that pardos are afrodescendants: ^{"Among the hypotheses to explain this trend [of black and mixed-race Brazilians now being the majority], one could highlight the valorisation of identity among Afro-descendants," Brazil's census board, the IBGE, said in its report."} So who's ignoring the census now, actually?

Again, if you have differing opinions, keep the talks in here and not the edit notes and please present your sources AND reasoning (not just the latter) if you disagree instead of giving emotionally-charged disagreements like the users @2804:6f80:c069:4e00:6568:8860:afa6:590b + @2804:6f80:c069:4e00:9587:f399:5777:c888.
