Are blacks not called "African American" anymore?

Post by CleveTown™ »

Obviously Im out of the loop of current American lingo trends (thank God) but Ramzpaul keeps making the joke in his videos that you can't say AA anymore, now they're called "blacks."

True?

I'd like to know too. It seems you hardly hear African American anymore and hear "black" frequently. I never liked the term African American anyway.

There was an old show I used to watch called Boston Public that had an old-old bigoted Jewish teacher.

Said teacher got in trouble for calling his Black students "colored", so to his (Black) Principal he said "It changes every day...first it was Negro, then it was Colored...then it was Black..now it's African-American...I should just stay safe and call them all "Black colored African-American Negros".

The Principal was not amused.

At least N1gger has stood the test of time of being offensive.

Come to think of it whites never had such an enduring slur as n1gger that could be used against them. None of the racially offensive terms such as honky, whitey, white trash, cracker, etc. have ever stood out and lasted.

Honkey and Cracker are my favorite. Yes I honk my horn when needed. Summer sausage and sharp cheddar on a cracker is delicious.

Correction, the Irish were originally called nijjers by the British. In current times, most people are too stupid to study even basic American history

Yes, but I was trying to educate you nonetheless. All of those slangs you mentioned were enduring or you wouldn’t have mentioned them.

I like Black people, especially when you show them magic tricks.

If your trick is a good one, they immediately start screaming, running around, and grabbing their genitals in excitement.

Uodate: they now go by FBA (foundational black american) which has picked up steam in their battle with African or Jamaican immigrants who do not share their experience as black ppl - allegedly).
