    Can we please stop calling them “African American??” Nobody likes that. Not even black people like saying or being called “African American,” for several reasons.

      We do need some way to qualify them. They’re not just regular Americans, like us, due to the excess of pigment. Perhaps, Black-American? Negro-American?

        Black. They call themselves black. And everyone else is safe to call them black too.

            Because if I was black I would’ve said “we.”

              Probably shouldn’t be speaking for them then…
