Pele is Black, but he would never be African-American. That also applies to many Latin players from other countries. Sammy Sosa is clearly Black, he is not an African-American.

So, once again... Why aren't Sosa or Pele considered African Americans? It really was a simple question. Care to answer, or do I have to endure yet another reply peppered with veiled insults?

Here is a link to many about many "Black" people in the entertainment industry and their ancestry. Most of these individuals I have seen identify themselves as being Black when interviewed (like Halle Berry) and the types of content they might put participate in as well. Also my maternal Grandmother is part Native American so I can trace some of my ancestry to the Native American people. I found this link interesting considering the people that are on this long list.

It would be nice if I included the link.
