German people of African-American descent

The title is incorrect if you list people who were merely born in Germany but ARE NOT GERMAN. Unlike the US, Germany does not recognize somebody as German if you were merely born there. According to German immigration-citizenship laws if you are born in Germany and lived there all your life you must then apply for German citizenship on or after your 18th birthday if both your parents are foreigners, like Lamont Bryan. If you don't, you'll carry the citizenship of you parents. Until recently the Germans did not allow dual citizenship if you came from for example Turkey, even if all you knew was Germany and the German language. You included Lamont Bryan. There is no way he would be considered "German people" as both his parents were foreigners. He is merely German-born. If you change the title to German-born, he could remain on the list. You should either remove all who could under their laws not be "German people", a sloppy term or CHANGE it to GERMAN-BORN PEOPLE OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN DESCENT. I. M.
