In the United States, "African American" is the term uber politically correct people came up with for Black people, even though "black" is a perfectly acceptable and polite term in the rest of the world, and "African American" has more syllables and isn't even always accurate, such as when a black person is from Jamaica, or when a white African emigrates to the US. I've even heard Americans use the term "African American" when talking about black people in France, and I had to point out to them that there was nothing American about those people.

I understood the black part, didn't know that I was suppose to imagine a hole.

Seriously? You didn't get the post? please go back to school so you can learn how to read and use your brain correctly.

Well got damn you guys are cut-throat on here. Shit, excuse me or having a question and asking the shit. I normally get the other ones first try, all that other shit you said wasn't necessary. Should've jut explained the fml to me.

Or you could have used logic or looked it up online. No one has to explain anything to you. And yes it is kind of stupid not to get what a black man means by clenching his black hole. Welcome to the internet.

Well, this is an international site, so its quite possible that American colloquialisms might not be well understood.

Nahh, I must admit I'm American. I guess I should admit that I'm black too.

I am American and I understood this.

Showed this to my friend in Germany, and she understood what the student said. Only a dumbass wouldn't understand the kid was talking about his ass

Ok, I'm sure he gets the point now. I'm all for ridiculing people who deserve it, but once the point is made, anything more is just overkill. Let it go and move on, folks. I'm sure there are other people who need it.

I'm Black & American but I hate being called "African American" because I'm not from Africa. I was born here so I should just be American like everyone else.

I honestly thought that he might be from a country other than America, and therefore wasn't familiar with the term "African American," hence my explanation.

I hate when I call someone black and people get offended. Like I called them the "n-word" or something horrid. I have friends who call themselves "black" and ask that others do the same. I am referred to as white and do not get offended. So I am not sure why it is only with black people that you have to say "African" instead of just American.

101- it depends because maybe they're from Africa or they know their ancestors are. Some older black people prefer African American. Maybe they just don't like you or they're racially over sensitive. But like I said before I think "African-American" should be reserved for people actually born in Africa

Also they could deject from the term "Black" because we're not Black we're Brown

Reminds me of my friend's little brother who started a club called "Little Brown Children Club" for people who were anything from Mexican to Black. Was pretty funny, he took the club seriously. But, the people who complained to me were originally from Jamaica and Haiti. When I asked what they wanted to be called, because they complained about "African American" they got attitude and said "you should know." When I asked them how I would know and how I was being racist asking them what they wished to be called, they said "all white people are ignorant." So it kind of confused and pissed me off.

Actually you should know what they should be called if they told you their country of origin. People from Jamaica are Jamaican. People from Haiti are Haitian. They have the right to be upset with you about that because it is kind of ignorant.

Actually, they did not tell me their race until after ten minutes of them yelling at me. I don't like to argue with people, my parents were verbally abusive to each other when I was a kid, so screaming and yelling puts me on edge. I always try to be calm and level because I never got that as a kid. I ask people what they wish to be called and when these people did not tell me where they were from, and only said they detested being called a color,I settled for the old "African American."

*sigh* don't be an idiot. White people have pink or yellow undertones just as we have olive, brown and literally black undertones in some cases. Does it make sense to call them yellow or pink people?!! Really?!! And before you have a go at me I'm fully black. British ofcourse not American.

122- Did I say I wanted to be called Brown? No I didn't. I said some people don't like being called black because they're not technically black. I don't care if you're British if you want to argue about pigments & undertones find someone who cares.

I could not agree more. By that logic people from South America should be called South American-Americans, Right?

back in the day, you didnt fornicate with a certain garden tool
