It’s an incorrect and inaccurate, divisive and pc term. What do you call a white immigrant from South Africa? An immigrant from Libya? A black Canadian?

Stop polarizing. It breeds more racism.

All this does is show how monumentally STUPID it was to ever start using the moronic term “African-American” from the start. You gonna call a black British person African-American? How about a black person from Canada visiting the U.S.A.?

Imagine a U.S. interviewer doing a video interview of a British born black person in England, saying, “What has your experience with racism been, being that you’re an African-American there in Britain.” Wouldn’t he really be forced to just call the person BLACK?

We've been here for roughly 500 years & we still don't know what it means..... Other than we are not quite Truly American!

You’re avoiding the point, as usual. If it’s wrong to call a black person in the U.S.A. “black,” and it’s supposed to be (we are told by black people) “African-American,” what are black Brits or Canadians to be called?
