I really don't like how people assume because how I look i'm african american
Most of the time I just lie and say i'm african american because I live in america
and I look black I guess 0_o
I don't even think most black people in america are even african american
no one calls white ppl euro american

What do you want to be called?

Well a lot of white ppl call themselves Irish-American, Italian-American, German-American, etc. The reason why ppl don't call African Americans by their specific ethnicity is because it's mostly unknown & varies.

What are you, bengali?

Get your DNA traced boinky... judging from your pic i would say your ancestors came from Congo or maybe Côte d'Ivoire

stick with gender confusion honey

Boinky, just boink yourself. You are a troll.

Yeah we should start calling white people Euro Americans.

For some reason that's kind of offensive to White people. I tried telling some white folks at my school that and they got offended. I'm like WTF?!

I am pure black

U thinkin2much somtimes lol.....but anyway i mn not black or white either

for the most part, people are conditioned to stick labels on people.

most black people aren't even 100% african in america yeah I'm talking to you black people

Be we distinguish here between African and black. I hate it when people say "african american" to refer to black Americans. That's like me calling myself Spanish-American.

i'm half black,
but in the end it's all traced back to Africa, ain't it

Like that's going make any difference whether it's traced back to Africa or not... Evolution is the key to success.

Ever thought about why the mini giraffes died while the really long necked ones survived ? go do your research upon the evolution of species if you have no idea what I'm talking about.

lol

people from the north african countries are considered "white" by the US census, but technically they are african american

I try to avoid labeling people unless when I'm typing in a topic like this.
Anyway, when I was in college, we were talking about racism. This guy said that he didn't like to be called black. He said that he preferred African-American. But judging from this thread, I understand how people wouldn't want to be called African-American. It's better to avoid labeling altogether. Even if you don't mean it, the other person might not like it.
