[QUOTE="snowman6251"]It bugs me. Black people are black people. Saying African American makes it seem like its bad to say a black guy is black, like its insulting or something. I'm white but when I talk about black people I say black people.snowman6251

I hate when people say that too. I mean, this:

are even related....

What do you want to be called then in terms of race? Obviously you're an American but when differentiating between demographics such as whites, latinos, asians, and balcks, what the hell else are we supposed to call you guys. Obviously black people aren't actually black but that's the term we have for it. Would you prefer we started calling you guys brown for the sake of accuracy?

I like chocolate American since chocolate can fairly describe all the colors of people without feeling as if it has some sort of racial background/history to it.....
