The labels used to describe Americans of African descent mark the movement of a people from the slave house to the White House. Today, many are resisting this progression by holding on to a name from the past: "black."

I'm not "Scottish-Cuban-American," I'm white, but my people have been labeling other races for years, and not in a nice way most of the time, so I make it a point not to be sensitive regarding fair-skinned labels. My "African American" friends refer to themselves as "black" (all two of them), but I'd like to know that the consensus is from a larger pool of people.

What say you? "Black" or "African American?"
 
My black neighbor calls me "you white nigger." I'm not sure what I should say.
 
I'm Dutch. I have no way of answering, except I'm an insensitive cracker.

I don't take any normal black guys seriously who calls them selves African American.
I lose all respect for them if they claim African American and can't name more than 15 countries in Africa....Most people get 6 or 7.( I could name all of them 3 years ago...and their capitals!(The ones in the textbook at least. Didn't keep up with the countries that were added/destroyed on a weekly basis))
