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

The first time I heard this argument was from a black Canadian. He had a point, he isn't American so it wasn't proper to call him African-American. When necessary I put black too.

I guess you would be called Yellow, but most Asian Americans know better so I don't see that happening.

"African" is your descent and "American" is your nationality.
Not that hard fam.

But if your rather be called "BLACK" then so be it.
"Darkey" wouldn't be so bad either under that qualification.

yah so be it BLACK....
but no, James Brown never made a song called "Say It Loud, im Darkey and Im PROUD" c'mon son....earn a brain.

Negro=Spanish for black, and they didnt mean any racial connotation by saying "negro".... 

I prefer black cause thats what I Identify with, not "n-word" or anything else...I call every race a "n-word"  I consider myself Black, if you don't, more power to you...
