The ancestry of African-Americans is ALL colonial. They were part of the founding of the U.S - there's no historical reason why they shouldn't be considered Old Stock or Colonial American. 2603:7000:9306:F025:DDA:B3CD:FDED:8955 ( talk) 03:51, 25 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Is pretty much a racial term but if you can provide a source we can talk..... But I suggest you read the sources here and over at American ancestry Moxy- 04:07, 25 November 2023 (UTC) reply

You will not win this argument. There are many sources that define "Old Stock Americans" as all people of colonial descent white or black. Black Americans are a quintessentially American ethnic group that were here since the founding of this nation. There's no logical reason why they would not be. 2603:7000:9306:F025:DDA:B3CD:FDED:8955 ( talk) 04:10, 25 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Show us one pls. I suggest some basic reading... Building the myth of Black inferiority. Moxy- 04:17, 25 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Ohh, I will. There are many. You've started a war. Who was here in the Colonial period? Think about it. You cannot erase black Americans. They're more American that whites. 2603:7000:9306:F025:DDA:B3CD:FDED:8955 ( talk) 04:22, 25 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Article is not about who was here but a term of art for the old white majority that dominated politics with the suppression of visible minorities and those of a different religion.

The term old stock American is defined as Americans with Ancestry in the colonial period. I already found 3 sources that include black people in the definition "those Americans, both black and white, whose ancestry dates from Colonial America" - from a Texas genealogy book 1976. You are going to lose this argument. I'm also going to add a subsection for Black Americans - who are the most American ethnic group by ancestry. 2603:7000:9306:F025:DDA:B3CD:FDED:8955 ( talk) 05:07, 25 November 2023 (UTC) reply

You might as well get ready - it's coming. LOL. 2603:7000:9306:F025:DDA:B3CD:FDED:8955 ( talk) 05:10, 25 November 2023 (UTC) reply

It's not about winning or losing.... it's about regurgitating the sources. Moxy- 05:21, 25 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Will do. There's even sources that call black people "old stock Anglo-American" from the 1950s. These are typically genealogy books. Don't be surprised when this page changes to rightfully include the MOST American ethnic group in the U.S. 2603:7000:9306:F025:DDA:B3CD:FDED:8955 ( talk) 05:25, 25 November 2023 (UTC) reply

@ Rjensen: anyway you can bring some insight or sources either way to this conversation? Moxy- 06:06, 25 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Moxy has by far the best of this little argument. Anon has not found any published sources that support his imaginary case. Rjensen ( talk) 10:55, 25 November 2023 (UTC) reply

@Rjensen "imaginary"? So I just imagined that black people were here in the Colonial period? LOL. OK. This is going to be funny when it drops. 2603:7000:9306:F025:78A6:E091:BDDF:D23 ( talk) 00:41, 26 November 2023 (UTC) reply
