Of course they are.

Why do you think the British Blacks keep crying and complaining here on Topix?

The main problem there, as opposed to here in the US, is that the British blacks want to be included as British citizenry but the snobbish British society will not accept them. Ever notice how quick the British Blacks are to say that they are British?

Just the opposite here in the US, the country is disgusted that the US blacks do everything possible to set themselves apart from American citizenry. Ever notice how quick the American blacks are to say that they are African? But not so in England.

Where are the British blacks complaining here I have yet to see even one so that to me is not true, yes British blacks do at times experience discrimination but it is NOTHING compared to the US.

Also most white British do accept blacks as British but NOT English only those on the far right refuse to see blacks as even British let alone English. What is wrong with the term African American, people born here in Britain call themselves Asian if their parents come from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh or china, however they do at the same time see and call themselves British many black British were born to Nigerian, Ghanaian or Gambian parents and immigrants so they see themselves as African while at the same time see themselves as British and will SAY they are British.

They use both their ethnicity and their nationality to define themselves.
