When I was a boy, the term negro was used, then colored, then it was black, then afro american, now african american, to describe the "race".
Before anyone busts a spring, look at the monikers of the racist (or is racial more correct?) organizations: United Negro College Fund National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Ironically, the people of that race have referred to each other using the "slur of all slurs" the entire time. What will be the next term to identify the "race" with politically correctness? Non-caucasian american? What about interracial children? Do they warrant a separate identifier? Africaucasian american? Caucafrican American? All that being said, no matter what a woman (still referred to as "woman" right?) chooses to name her race, if i think she's groovy I'll hold her hand. Even if she has only experienced European discrimination. |

Why would someone say blacks want to be separated?
Why don't you also blame the government or every other race but you target the blacks? That right there is racism. |

mightymoe stated >>> seems to me that the blacks are the ones that want the distinction... we are all Americans, but yall prefer African Americans, even tho a very low percent actually even been to Africa... msharmony stated >>>
lol.. ur funny for hundreds of years , blacks weren't americans or even people,, just property that wasn't what blacks 'preferred' and due to a history of being defined that way,, we learned to embrace our ancestry since our country didn't embrace us and due to a history of being seen and labeled as something other than American (negro) and the effects of that on anyone appearing to be a negro,,,,,we are going to remain 'negro' as long as that distinction is something others can define simply by having eyes mightymoe stated >>>
my point is, if blacks really thought there was an inequality, they wouldn't separate themselves from everyone else... what happened 200 years ago is no different from something that happened 1000 years ago, it's history... i have no problem calling you an American, but calling you an African American is just demeaning to blacks... msharmony stated >>>
my point is the blacks didn't separate themselves,,those who brought them here did and after slavery there was still segregation and jim crow, which allowed the UNITED STATES to keep blacks separated,,, which only ended in the last half century and my parents who as African americans had me, by definition, had an African American,, as I have, and as my children will calling me African American is not demeaning anymore than calling me a female American, its an honest reflection of my ancestry, my roots, my heritage,,,etc I was born in America I have African ancestry I was born with uterus and vagina my skin is not even close to 'black' and 'colored' is too vague a descrption when defining RACIAL heritage(which is based in ancestry) so describing my race as African American is far from demeaning to me my nationality is American,,, You are an amazing woman and you've answered some of the most disgusting stereotypical degrading barbed POV's with patience and remarkable fortitude --- I applaud you! I've found it so highly amusing when discussing my Native American ancestors - something we can talk about freely now but were never allowed to do outside of the family growing up. Now we're often asked...'well just how much percentage of that bloodline do you carry with you?' and for my closest brother it was never a question it was always a 'hey, you � breed' - native's don't grow facial hair or body hair like white's do! The USA Census was the classifier for our identities and how we put our RACE NAMES into categories and for 'WHITE MEN' to make such statements like >>> but calling you an African American is just demeaning to blacks  proves how many just can't grasp the concept that they are clueless; hopelessly and utterly CLUELESS!!!
What's that ole' clich�; 'it's better to be thought a fool then to open ones mouth and remove all doubt'

I'm from Germany, the racism in Europe is nothing like America's racism Fib to people who haven't lived in Germany. During my time there, I heard as many German slurs for black people, as I've heard in the u.s. that's what I thought!
