It might depend on where the person is from. I know many black immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean despise their American counterparts.
Elon Musk is more African American than Tiger Woods
I’m so scared of using the wrong label I got bit by “chegroes” while berry picking!
Kamala Harris is NOT African-American...
She is Indian-Jamaican...
She is NOT black...
She is brown...
The word black is not the N word.
Black is the N word.
All those Americans of Afro Heritage are not Black. An increasing number are of the Afro Heritage minority-minority. The minority-minority is where the Trump support thrives
No.
If you claim to be “African American”, you are neither.
not every black person is from Africa! So stupid.
Why is it an issue? Why do people work so hard to make sure a particular race is okay? If a race is so spectacular and gifted, why can’t it just not stand on its own? Better yet, where is the historical record proving ingenuity and brilliance?
I try to treat people as they are not as I think they should be!!
Non-melanin-challenged?
The Left does this to keep you off balance. At any given time, the “acceptable” language for anything can become a sign of incipient, if not outright racism, sexism, or some other “ism”.
They utilize their “control” of language (via media control, education, and government fiat) to set the tone. At any time they have a ready-made tar to spread on people they disagree with.
In his recent interview on BET, Joe Biden couldn’t remember the name of his Secretary of Defense, so he referred to him as “the Black man.”
I wonder if African Americans might be happier if they all went back to the home land they cherish so much?
Ya really want to rile them up? Refer to the colored maintenance man.
Elon Musk is an African American, and he isn’t black.
The sad thing? Your loved one is held hostage by these racist slugs. If you push back, your loved one gets spit on their food... or worse.
even democrats have given up on the stupid African American thing. That person was just being an ass.

Not all black people are African American. Some are, some aren’t. There are African (from Africa), African British etc. African American is a subset of all black people.
Ironic considering the actual word “nigger” is used more now than ever probably
It was a white trash word where I grew up in the deep Deep South and forbidden by must white bourgeoisie
In the delta I did hear planter class use “nigra” for cultivation hands
Martin King etc said Negro and a few so called enlightened also used nigra
I’m 67
I don’t know why we’re taking about but it given we’ve moved on to pronouns
The left are masters at language control
Novel idea...how about if we just call everyone “people” and not describe them as anything else? In God’s eyes, we are all one people...
