Negro = black en Espanol

well they’re not African so why do they refer to themselves as African American and besides whites too can be from Africa and African American.
It’s racist to say negro
wrong to say black as I was told but off others I was told they want to be called that and not African.
Infact ever ask a black person what part of Africa are they from when they say they’re African and many of them can’t even name 5 countries over there.
so what exactly is the right name because they all call themselves different names?
Guess the brothers can always disown the United Negro College Fund and the Negro Leagues baseball history, and for that matter the hispanics, since negro just means black in spanish.
I guess you could say it’s not the color of the skin,
but the thinness of it that is the problem.

I was told they want to be called black and not African but some say coloured.

According to Barack Hussein’s COLB, the proper term for race is AFRICAN.
I suggest Afroid.

I just check the box next to Exploitative/Oppressive White Christian Male, and I’m done with it.
I graduated High School in 1975 and I remember my Sociology teacher telling us how he argued with his father over the new term Black. His father, also a teacher said Negro was scientific and Black was a passing faze. At the time my teacher was Mullatto. By the way, he was one of my most impressive teachers.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would be ridden out of town on a rail if he were alive today because that was exactly the term he used.
Where then is "Colored"? I mean if it's good enough for the NAACP, then why not the Census?
Instead of negro, I prefer “entitlement dependent”
Is this person aware that the "N" word is used by Blacks to reference other Blacks TODAY? Yes, I'm reasonably certain they are.
I think the use of the word was a mistake, because it was sure to bring the race baiters out of the wood-work. It's still pretty much a lot to do about nothing, if people who are supposed to be offended by it's use, still "use" it to this day.
