This letter acknowledges the validity of the term Afrimerican. The E-mail it notes of Nov. 9, 2005 states all then current research on terms had been concluded for the 2010 Census but, Afrimerican would be included in the studies for the 2020 Census.
In addition to the above, Afrimerican has not always been redirected to African-American as was stated in the talk back section to my recent inquiry. It was only redirected after I refused to let Wikipedia staff redefine it.
Below is a copy of the last post I made before they began the redirection.

After this response it was redirected.
I said it then and I say it now, an African-American is a person born in Africa, an Afrimerican is a person born in the United States of enslaved African ancestry.
When this was first posted it was immediately marked for deletion, in fact I have had post deleted within 5 to 10 minutes, so the line about not being monitored is B.S.
Secondly, I have also accused Wikipediaof being funded, and directed by the C.I.A., and yesterday the news confirmed it.
Lastly, just as Wikipedia has seperate articles on Black, Colored, Negro, that it refuses to allow an article on Afrimerican is indicative of racist bias based on Whites wanting to control what, and how Afrimericans are identified, as opposed to being an open forum where matters of less relevance, but of, in White interest get Carte Blanche treatment.
I had this running debate with ikipedia staff in 2004 throughout 2005.....nothings changed
