The Pointer Sisters are not Cape Verdean. They are from Oakland and are black Americans.

Thanks, Jamara. Who are the Dominickers and Brass Ankles? That last name sounds like “Tar Heels.” Are both Black Indians? I wonder were we once called colored because we consisted of these various ethnic strands? BTW the Pointer Sisters are Cape Verdian, and I do not believe they deny their Black heritage. Your thoughts, Jamara?

Interesting article though I don’t believe Gullahs and Creoles should be included with Cape Verdeans and Bahamians.
Those small races you mention include interesting groups like the Dominickers, Brass Ankles, The Jackson Whitse and many other groups who fought hard not to be considered black. Many of them have disappeared melting into the whire race largley and into the black race to a lesser extent.
