Why are black americans called african americans srs

[Abzu]

this never happened

It actually might have.

Never called one of my boys African American, only black just like they call me white. Nothing wrong with it. The people who pretend it’s a problem have things way to easy in life to be worrying over something so stupid.

It's probably best not to call them anything, because even if you use the correct term, in ten years that term could be considered racist, and if someone can prove you said it you could get fired.

This, just call them 'particular individuals' instead

I'm actually one of those Black Americans or "particular individuals" or "not anything" and I would love it if you guys avoided me irl, thanks!

[AWillis]

[Vrykul]

White people are called white people not european americans

Therefore black people should be called black people not african americans

Modern day historians think they know more about the natives than the first hand accounts of the "first" europeans.
There are too many things that are not explained. Like the same words being used by natives in S. America and spanish and Polynesian languages for the exact same things like the word for sweet potatoes and canoe and things. There have been discoveries of chicken bones from before chickens were supposed to have been introduced to America. There are the "white" natives and "black" natives that weren't supposed to be here before the spanish expeditions. There are things like the european skeleton found at the same strata as extinct giant sloth skeleton. Then you have the stone tools made from flint that came from a cliff in france found at 6 separate sites in strata dating from 19,000 to 26,000 years years ago. There were already "black" people here srs.

Literally, because of political correctness. It's also a communist/soycialist tactic to divide America and it partially worked.

I'd call them americans but what do I know

If someone called me German or British American (I’m white af) I’d be pissed. I’m fuking white not some foreign fuking country American.

[kaiserchieftan]

[DrumsNotDead]

How primitive is this era that color is still considered... I wonder how much progress we could have actually made without a marxist leftist-liberal media controlling the airways

I guess we will never know.
