actually black is not a color its a shade so is white and gray. As far as I know the technical term for black people is Negro. Its an old term and no one with imagination has made a better technical name for the race and instead give us these lazy terms like African American.

1. An "African American" is someone who has the Nationality of "American". I am a European who has the Nationality of the United States so I am a European American.

Okay, the whole black is a color thing got me but when you started listing Africans that are not black as Afican American I was like, this is B.S!
I am African and I am really proud to be African but I'm not Black and I'm definitely not Afican American.
I think the term used of Africans is rather disturbing. I hate being called black, because frankly, when you look at me you'll know the color you see which isn't black. Might be really light brown but whatever.
I don't like that term, Black people! And I'm not racist.
