Because In the 80s Jesse Jackson said we should call ourselves African-American and it made white people feel better about their guilt so it became the PC name for Black person.

That’s why you’ll find even in the UK or Other countries People will call the Africans there African-American even though there not American whatsoever.

White people never needed to call themselves anything else because they’re seen as the default Americans most people (outside of America) don’t even know natives exist.

African American is an important ethnic designation, when it comes to history and sociology.

edit: read thread wrong

european is a term for whites sometimes tho, it just depends entity to entity. some "fill out race" sections i seen have european.

that and white was used as a class to distinguish them from us. and those that just got here who werent considered totally "white" had something to aspire to and eventually got it being accepted into whiteness

Isnt that just because they will confuse them for us. I heard from some people alot of those africans/caribbeans/latinos copy our identify?

that and you have your usual ignoramus who will just think anyone of african descent- African american.


outside of those circumstances i hardly heard of africans called African Americans.

It’s not. It’s anyone of African descent that lives in America

Which is why it’s trash
whats funny is, those people pannies try to incoporate with us dont even want the "african american" title

straight from the horses mouth




....same way Porn is standard "White" and its specified when there is another Race involved.
i mean isnt most porn consumed by "whites" and wasnt it made by them?(only right something degenerative was made by them)

thats kinda should be expected.

African-American is to broad a name when discussing the Ethnic origins and history of Black Americans it’s a terrible name for that purpose.

African-American is the PC replacement for Black, Negro, Colored etc.

We are the biggest “Black” representation on earth in terms of visibility and so the terms we use get used In other places by guilt ridden whites when trying to have a name for black people.

So they’ll sometimes call non-American black people African-American because it’s PC.

They’ve even done studies showing white people prefer the term African-American because it helps With guilt they’re such a silly bunch:mjlol:
