Only people that go out of their way to be politically correct call us "African American." Black is simpler, and that's what I and other BLACKS I know all call ourselves.
The only blacks that want to be called "African Americans" are the ...... that think they deserve reparations and don't want equality, but want to be placed on a pedestal.
Observing the attitudes of African Americans and gaining an understanding of the drive to classify Black Americans as African Americans, I must now say that I can no longer identify myself as an African American because this classification holds several proclamations and principles to which I no longer identify with as a citizen of this country.
I don't think about Africa, or what it would be like to live there, as I have always been content living in the country of my birth, where I grew up in a small town in Louisiana.
