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".

Occasionally.  Not very often though.

When ever it fits in the sentence, though.

But, never that one racial slur, though.  I hate that word.

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.

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.

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)
