"Yellow is mellow""Negro" is Spanish for "black." It was also a race, like Caucasian, Oriental, and Austrailoid. Of course now we don't believe in race, so...
American descendants of African slaves (of whom Our Beloved President is NOT one), have always proprietary about what one may call them without giving offense. When I was growing up, such people preferred to be called "Negroes," but "colored" was also acceptable. Calling one of them "black" was a serious insult - especially within that community.
In the late 60's we heard that "Black is beautiful," so Black was no longer an insult, and colored became identified with old "Uncle Tom's."
African American is nonsense, on steroids, but it is what they prefer, so WGAF?
"Black is black"
Who REALLY gives a fuck what they call themselves.
