I have worked with and known more than a few black people that do not like being labeled African-American.

They usually say they were born here and have never been to Africa. They would prefer to be called American.

Which is what they are. The hyphen is the leftist tool used to divide and pit groups against each other for political purpose. It has nothing to do with pride and respect, which is what they claim.

I have traveled to many Countries in Africa and I have
never heard any of them call themselves Africans.

In Nigeria, they called them selves Nigerians.
In Algeria, they called them selves Algerians.

In the Ivory coast, Did They call themselves “Ivory Coasters”? Me BAD.

Thar type of black is like the Cedrick character from Barber Shop who said “f___ Jesse Jackson.”

Jesse, after all, promoted the use of that term and maybe invented it too.

Absolutely right. It's like welfare - when people accept it, they think it gives them power, but it just consigns them to dependency.
