You may be right. By today’s standards, MLK was almost a Klan member. When everything is racist, nothing is. The word is so diluted now, calling people racist has lost all meaning.
To: Red Badger
The correct term is Negro.

Africa originally just meant the area around Carthage in what is now Tunisia. So maybe "African-American" should be restricted to immigrants from Tunisia and their descendants.
I think Jesse Jackson was the one who demanded we use the expression "African American" back in the 1970s. I guess by now he has passed the torch of Conscience of the United States to Al Sharpton. So someone needs to ask Rev. Al what term we honkies are supposed to use.

I always liked the word darkies. It’s a general term which can be applied to a broad spectrum of people without pointing the finger at one particular variety.

I wonder what is more offensive. Is it African or American? I agree with Teddy Roosevelt though that there are no hyphenated Americans.
To: Red Badger
Which part is offensive? The African part or the American part?
To: Cailleach
Probably American......................

It’s time for thin-skinned pity party groups to make up their mind... and I’m not talking about black people - I’m talking about white liberal ‘elite’ University know-it-alls...

Of all the black people I have known they always referred to themselves as black, And of particular amusement was supervising a new college graduate from Bahamas had to check off boxes with “African American” as race. He is neither African or American. And Africa and America are locations. This stuff is so stupid,

How about calling them by their names?I remember a cartoon many years ago in which a white kid asked a black kid if he preferred to be called colored, black, African American, etc.; he responded that he'd rather be called Randy.
