The biggest difference is CULTURE; yes both are of the same race, which is understandable but culturally Africans(traditional tribal culture) and African Americans(westernized American culture) are very different. As a result both communities see things differently when it comes to many things that make up culture when it comes to language(which is different from one African country to another), customs, traditional practices(engagements, weddings, naming ceremonies), how the children are raised, traditional family practices, education, certain community beliefs(certain beliefs & influences African Americans do or except are not accepted in the African community) and etc. Not to add that by nationality African Americans are born in America and Africans are not, except the first or second generation Africans(or American born Africans). so in conclusion both communties are different, just because both communities are black is irrelevant(the only similarity that the race may bring between both of the communities is that both communities have experienced racism in westernized world's but the way it has been dealt with within each of the communities has been different).

from ƝɨѕhҠѡe on yahoo answers:In the 1800's -1900's there was little understanding between Native Americans and African Americans.Firstly because generally Native Americans were an unknown population just as they are today, and African Americans were not able to freely form friendships/relationships with people outside their local area/residence. So basically they had very little contact.Secondly anywhere the 3 populations (Black, White and Native) were in close proximity, the White settlers tried to create friction between the Blacks and the Natives.For example in some areas (southern coastal US) Native Americans where paid to recapture runaway slaves. Which they did to prevent their people from being taken by the slave traders. Most people are unaware that there was an active trade in Native Americans slaves in the US. Regiments of African Americans soldiers were used to hunt and kill Native Americans. The Native Americans called them Buffalo Soldiers.The friction was created between the African Americans and Native Americans because the settlers feared if the African Americans and Native Americans united they would outnumber the White settlers and would wipe them out in an uprising.The story of Native Americans protecting African Americans slaves is not entirely true. Historically like today, Native American society did not have the "concept of difference" based on race or skin color. Difference based on skin color is a Euro concept. Tribes often extended tribal hospitality to both African American and White people who chose to reside with the tribe.Secondly the story that Native Americans protected runaway slaves and intermarried was promoted by African Americans to explain why some didn't look fully African American. It was seen as somewhat better to be part Native American than to be part White.That's why today some African Americans believe they have Native American blood, even though DNA has proven only about 2.9% African Americans actually have Native American blood..4 months ago (10-09-2011)
