It didn’t. The phrase has been used MUCH earlier.I believe “African American” came around in the late 80s.

This fool here....
“If you notice, John McCain, he [sic] dead,” Peterson continues, listing other people he believes God has killed while playing the role of hitman for Trump.
“Charles Krauthammer, he dead,” he continues. “And Elijah Cumming, now he [sic] dead. They all didn’t like The Great White Hope, they went against him, they talked about him, now they all dead. That’s amazin’.”
Conservative host says Cummings' death was God's punishment for opposing Trump
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson included the late congressman's name in a list of people he believes were punished by the Almighty for going against the presidentthegrio.com
There are fools, you right...but wow, the level this guy is on is almost unreal.
The mans body isnt even cold yet.
I heard about Jesse Lee Peterson a while ago but never really looked into him.
Had no idea he was a pastor!
Was he the inspiration for Unkle Rukus?
No he (Jesse Jacksons) spearheaded the term in the late 80's & as tay1 mentioned the term was used much earlier w/ documentation as proof back in 1782.Jesse Jackson spearheaded the move back in the 60s.
Yes in a historical sense, but as in calling me "African?" No.marikomorose so you dont want the term "African" associated with your identity?

You a Repblican/Conservative arent you?
And you're trying be something you're not dawg. YOU "THE OH SO PROUD AFRICAN" brought you butt over here to THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN to get a citizenship instead of Ghana of something. You literally had option and you choose here. You're the biggest hypocrite in hereI kinda get where yall coming from. However, even though I recently became an American citizen my people back home in Jamaica are on the same wave length.
Ill be the first one to love Jamaican culture, and I see nothing wrong with you all loving your black American culture, but at the end of the day our culture derives from AFRICAN culture. There is absolutely nothing wrong in recognizing your nationality while also embracing your culture.
I think its wrong for yall seek out validation that you are stricly "American", being a part of a historically oppressed group of people as black Americans I was hoping that you all will take pride in being of African descent.
No one is telling yall to saying yall are from African. Im not from Africa, my nationality isnt one of the African nations, like im not "Nigerian", "South African", or Kenyan", however I take pride in my African descent and wear it proudly.
I'm slightly disappointed that yall want to be grouped in more with the average white "American" as opposed to "African-American" because to be "African-American" you are grouping yourself with other great black Americans like MLK and Malcolm X.
It;s just crazy to me how we all damn look the same, same rhythm (lol), same skin color descent all from AFRICA, but we try our best NOT to associate with it. I dont know its just weird to me.
Until all descendants of Africa, actually love Africa we aint going nowhere. Trust me, I get it our grandparents are not from Africa and we should take pride in our nationality and our upbringing, but a pig being borm in a horse sty is still a pig got dammit.
So in conclusion all of you black people in here, whether you wanna say "oh, im black" or "oh Im Dominican" or "oh, Im American"
Guess what...YOU A DAMN AFRICAN...whether you like it or not. Peace brothers

Youre not going to thank me for Marcus Garvey then?
Oh the irony...
"Although his legacy as a leader and activist lives on, Garvey’s separatist and Black Nationalist views were not embraced by many of his peers. In fact, W.E.B. Du Bois of the NAACP famously said, “Marcus Garvey is the most dangerous enemy of the Negro race in America and in the world.”
"However, Garvey’s supporters prefer to focus on his key message, which was steeped in African-American pride.
After all, he is credited with coining the phrase “Black is beautiful.”

Marcus Garvey was a Black nationalist and leader of the Pan-Africanism movement, which sought to unify and empower people of African descent worldwide.www.history.com
IJS.

Don't you ever fix your lips on fingers to down me.
Malcolm & Martin referred to themselves as "negro." Malcolm & Martin referred to themselves as "black." Malcom adopted "Afro." I have never heard either call themselves "African American." Don't you ever in life try to school my something you don't have the facts to back.
That's the problem w/ a lot foreigners. My N****R, NEGRO, COLORED, & BLACK ancestors paved the way for ppl like your ungrateful butt to come here and down-talk us & them. Don't you ever disrespect Black Americans and then try profit off of the things we built and made accessible to you.
You're literally an immigrant that went out of his way to be indoctrinated into this here white society, to be excepted by white people, & likely is working for white people, and you want to look down on me? Kick socks kid and go somewhere in Africa

Black American culture has influenced many places throughout the world to embrace their blackness. I've seen people holding up "BLACK LIVES MATTER" signs in Israel. That came from Black America, and I ain't giving that credit to no one but us.
Don't you ever tell me what I am or what to call myself; do you understand? *This is me poking you in the chest if we were in person. Seriously.*
I'm Black and I'm Proud.
Opposite sides of the same nonsensical coin. Many people left their homeland(by force or on their own accord) and came here to and helped fight for civil rights. To sit here and say this was strictly done by Blacks who born here is some foolishness. In case y'all haven't noticed, blacks as a whole are looked at as inferior throughout the world. No need for us to further cause division amongst ourselves.marikomorose yoooooo
Homeboy mad angry, I came here when I was a teen, Damn. Youre not going to thank me for Marcus Garvey then? Jesus you sound mad.
All Im saying is that black people should be proud of their ancestry from Africa. Whether you from Canada, America, Jamaica, Brazil, or England. PERIOD
You African booty scratcher.
I guess that is why damn near everyone in the entire world IMITATE Black american culture, right?Opposite sides of the same nonsensical coin.

You'd better act like you know.
This is simply not true. Black culture as a whole is imitated. To say it's strictly black American Culture that is imitated would mean your uninformed. And that's fine. There's nothing wrong with that.I guess that is why damn near everyone in the entire world IMITATE Black american culture, right?
