Just because someone is black, that makes them african american
Discuss if you think so. I want to hear why.

Going with the logic "ancestor from africa then im african american" would put EVERYBODY as african american. Our roots have been traced to africa.
-
Calling black people African Americans is the equivalent of calling white people European Americans. You just sound like an idiot if you say either one.
-
How many people agree that blacks are propogating their own stereotypes?

They prefer negro.
-
Of course they are.. whether you like it or not it's what they are
-
I when say black people, I mean people with black skin. When I say African American, I mean people who had family back in Africa who live in America.

I know that just because your black you don't have to talk like a gansta.
-
Why is this here lol? You have black Irishmen, black Frenchmen, black Mexicans, black Koreans. Anyone can be from anywhere.

-
Because that's usually the default. If you're in America you're usually American
-
Racist! You cant say black!
-
Race isn't even a biological reality...
-
I think people just tend to say it to be more polite then just saying black, but get mixed up

Could ask the same question to them "do you look at someone white and only think white" How is anyone meant to know your nationality by the colour of your skin? If a black male is born in England he's English. If an Asian person is born in America he's American. You can see where I'm going with this
-
Isn't it the same thing
-
I'm white therefore I'm German-British-Irish American. You racist -blam!-.
-
That's why I just say black
-
Why would you ask two questions at the same time? Those are two different things.
