i am so fucking sick and tired of people using that phrase. its total bullshit politically correctness. how come im not called a european american? my heritage is from all over europe, but yet im called only an american. blacks' heritage are from africa, and are called african americans even though they are living in the US and are american citizens. and they probably have ancestors that have lived in america before my ancestors did. i just dont understand it, its fucking bullshit, just so people dont sound racist.

Yes it is bullshit. They should move back to Africa if they want to be called Africans.

Confused niggers started bitching about the word 'black' and helped invent a stupid name to further outcast them from the rest of the country and make racial tension even greater. I have never met one black person that used that phrase or wanted to be referred to as 'african american'. All the niggers at my work just use the word 'black'.

I agree with OP. Not long ago, a white person born in South Africa drewa shitstorm of criticism from PC morons when he insisted --correctly--upon being called African-American.
Personally, I am a half-breed redskin--and woe to the PC-type who calls me "metis Native American."

yea, at least he was born in africa. people always think that african american is black. its not. i wouldnt mind calling him an african american if hes now an american citizen b/c hes actually from africa. did that happen recently?
yea like others have said, blacks use nigger more than anyone else and they get pissed off when a white person uses it. thats also fucking bullshit.

I only use african american if they really are from africa, sort of as a way of humor though.
I absolutely refuse to refer to any black individual residing in the United States as an African-American if he or she will not refer to people of my race as European Americans. Pure and simple. I'm white and you're black, or you're an African-American and I'm an European-American.

I'm originally from South Africa, have been living in America now for most of my life. Used to be a joke in school that I was an "OMG LUL AFRICAN AMERICAN!1" but when the time came around to apply to colleges, I half jokingly asked my counselor if I could apply for "african american" scholarships and he gave me a firm No.

White people are called 'Caucasians'.
Which must mean we are Asians, but white.

They do not describe a white person as white. Its always Caucasian.

And I'm sick of ignorant white people with tunnel-vision complaining about stupid shit. If your ancestors weren't racist, oppressive, hate-mongerers, we likely wouldn't have this problem today. So, I know it's tough, but I guess you're going to have to suffer by occasionally hearing African-American, as the country tries to repair the damage from the past.
Idiot.
Personally, I say "ethnic European" or "ethnic African" when trying to be more politically correct. It makes a lot more sense than "Caucasian" or "African-American", considering most white people aren't from the Caucasus mountain region and most black people aren't Africans who moved to the US.
There's a lot of weirdness surrounding the concept of words to describe race. It used to be there were either three or four major races depending on who was counting: Negroid (black), Caucasoid (white), Mongoloid (East Asian), and American Indian. Now, they often consider Hispanics to be a race, but "Hispanic" just means "spanish-speaking". You hear "Latino" a lot too, but that just means "Latin", which again refers to the language group rather than any race. But there is no latino race anyway, since most Latinos are either European, American Indian, or a mixture of the two.
It's all very unscientific.

the modern white man's ancestors had nothing to do with what black are today.but to some extent,i do agree with you.
if niggers werent given freedom back then,we would relly have no problems today.

I wonder if ancestry records were kept on slaves.
They were basically treated like livestock.
With some livestock, they keep track of the parents/bloodlines. Certain bloodlines have certain traits.
IE: Maybe Kenyans were considered less desirable, because if they want to escape, they would do so at an unprecedented velocity. But on the flip side, maybe they were employed as express messengers for mail delivery.

And you guys don't complain about stupid shit just as much as we do?
What my great great great grandfather whose name I don't even know may have done to your great great great aunt whose name you probably don't even know has nothing to do with what is happening today and I am not responsible for a god damn thing he might have done.
Instead of actually doing something with your (kinda) new-found freedom, you bitch and moan, kill each other and call each other niggers while complaining about the people you call white calling you black.

Of course you aren't responsible for what other white people did, but racism of the past is the cause for most of the race-related problems in present-day America. Are you really saying that you think 200 years of slavery, and 130 years of institutionalized oppression didn't have a massive effect on America?
You live in present-day America, so obviously you're going to be affected by the consequences of past racism just like everyone else. Instead of complaining about it, you should work to fix things. Otherwise, I really don't see the country making much more progress with our racial issues.

No. That isn't what I said. It has plenty of effect....obviously. All I'm saying is that I, personally, am not responsible for it and do not want to have to pay for what some of my ancestors may have done. If a man would have shot and killed my great great great grandfather, without cause, would it be right of me to ask his killers great great great grandchild to apologize for his great great great grandpas actions? Or to complain at all about what his great great great grandfather did? No. Because it has absolutely 0 to do with him.
If racism is happening now, which it is...complain and bitch and moan about them, those who are currently saying and doing racist things, not me for the actions of my ancestors...I haven't done anything. You're black, I'm going to call you black....I'm white, you're going to call me white.
Complaining about what? Complaining about black people complaining?
(I assume you're black or some other minority? No, I am not meaning to imply that you're all complaining.)

Niggers are from Nigeria.
Nigeria is in the centre of Africa.
Nigerians got pawned by the Coastal Africans & they got sold to the Spanish by 'Black Slave traders'
(they were blacks, that traded in slaves. Therefore 'Black Slave traders')
