Please Don't Call Me African-American....Im BLACK

[faint dj3]

I don't know about my fellow NikeTalk black brethren...but I hate filling out applications, and when other races refer to us as "African-Americans". Its like they trying way to hard to be politically correct. I consider myself and all of my "black" friends who aren't first generation Americans: BLACK.

I have never been to Africa, and neither has anyone in my family for the past four generations.


Your feelings??

Black/African American/ Nigerian American works for me....I aint picky.


Ironic, how African Americans complain about their culture and roots being stripped from them....yet insist on taking measures like this to erase all traces of their origins.
