It's stupid, really. We find it more offensive being called african-americans because now you're just a white guy thinking just because we are black we are ultra-sensitive and we have to be called african-americans, so we won't be offended. BLACK IS NOT OFFENSIVE.
Black people. Black people. BLACK PEOPLE.
I don't really care, none of my friends are black anyway. But if I am talking about someone, I just say "black".
I do. :-X
Occasionally. Not very often though.
When ever it fits in the sentence, though.
But, never that one racial slur, though. I hate that word.
No, I call them by their names.

Oh, clever! I do that too... if I know them.
No.
I don't and it really annoys me that people are picky about retarded things like that. If anything, African-American should be the insult rather than black. Calling them black is a physical observation while calling them African-American seems like saying the individual is from Africa.
PC Name I Say
African American Black
Hispanic American Latino
Asian American Asian
Caucasian White sonuvaninny
I say black..
Not every black person is African..
I call them coons.
...really though, I call them black.

BWAHAHAHAHA!
Just because we kidnapped and enslaved ya don't mean ya can't go back to you're own country and feel completely like an outsider.
Not all black people are African, so no.
If I know someone is african-american I'll refer to them as such, otherwise I'll use black or even more appropriately describe them in other ways than by their skin colour alone.
Ha. I know someone who said "Most black people (he was from the ghetto and was referring to that) couldn't even point to Africa on a map"
There could be some truth, but not as bad as white people (the trashy ones). Lol "is europe a country?" (Search youtube, some white chick was one are you smarter then a 5th grader)
Meh if im talking to one of my black friends I'll jsut say black, but if tis a stranger i'll say african american cause some people pull the race card too much
I don't. I think that whole sensitivity thing is bull poop. Next it'll be the minorites.
well sorry, it's kinda hard because every time one of you shouts "racist" we get our asses sued, it's easier to play it save.

No, white people stereotype us as always shouting racists.
Don't use a derogatory term, say the n word, and we won't yell at you for being racist.
No, it's not playing it safe. It's insulting us Cockasian.
I'm lazy, so I call us black and whites white.

No, I put the "say the n word" using say in the form as "here's an example".
Only trashy gansta wannabes who are far from gangsta and don't know what the hood is like use the n word, plus it's not as bad when a black guy, who isn't racist against blacks, to say it as a white guy, who a whole freaking lot of them are racist against black people, to say it.
