African
An individual who has ancestry from the continent of Africa. It does not matter how many years since a family has left the continent of Africa. In the same way that a person may have 3 generations of Nigerians in America, he will never lose his ancestry.

Joe:
Even though many generations of my family have been born in America, I am still African just like Chinese people who have been in America for generations are still considered Chinese.

John:
But you've never been to Africa and don't speak an indigenous African language because they only want to teach Spanish and French in school?

Joe:
In the same way that some Latinos don't speak Spanish and some Chinese people don't speak Chinese. It's about your ancestry and the need to be feel united with my people, although slavery deprived me of the ability to know exactly what country my ancestors originated from.

African
The most educated and top earning immigrant group in the United States. Research found that of the 1.4 million sub-Saharan African immigrants who are 25 and older, 41% have a bachelor’s degree, compared with 30% of all immigrants and 32% of the U.S.-born population. The New American Economy study found that 1 in 3 of these undergraduate degrees were focused on science, technology, engineering and math That report also found that African immigrants were significantly more likely to have graduate degrees. A total of 16% had a master’s degree, medical degree, law degree or a doctorate, compared with 11% of the U.S.-born population, African immigrants were more than twice as likely than the U.S. population overall to work in healthcare, Lim said. There are more than 32,500 nursing, psychiatric or home health aides, more than 46,000 registered nurses and more than 15,700 doctors and surgeons. Most African immigrants are raised in very strict religious households and their parents tolerate zero bullshit.

Damn, I wonder who got the 100% on our Physics test and messed up the curve!

Well of course it was Jeremiah! He's the only African in our class!

Africane
Noun Af-ri-keyn

A derogatory term used against black African-Americans. It is used to describe the often violent riots and buffoonery that occur in mass scale when entire communities of colored people of African descent feel a racial injustice has occurred against them.

The word is derived from the combination of African and Hurricane because these events (which are exclusive to people of black African descent) share similarities with a severe storm. Many of the signs of an "Africane" are shop fires, overturned cars, mass looting, and severe violence against weak white men and pregnant white women.

Most Africanes occur on at least a metropolitan scale, but are known to have spread at a both regional and national scale.

Examples:

1. "Earl, get the popcorn ready. There is going to be an Africane after the jury deliberates on the Ferguson case."

2. "Boy, were those niggers chimp'n the fuck out. It was a good thing it didn't turn into a Africane, we wouldn't have made it out alive."

3. "Sharon, don't leave the house now you hear? There's an Africane going on out there. I don't want you to lose the baby."

4. "Today we need to board up the windows and if there's any left buy some additional paramilitary gear and guns for this Africane that is coming."
