    We all know what people mean by it; they mean “black” but are scared to say it for whatever reason.

    I think criticism of the term “African-American” is valid. Most black people in America today have never been to Africa.

      oh absolutely, i’ve seen enough criticism of that term from Black people (americans or not) to know not to use it.

      still, pretending to not know what it means just to push a half-baked message about racial colorblindness is… why. why would you do this. the elon musk shit on top of it, why

        Just pretending to be an obtuse moron instead of taking a comment as the criticism it is shows your shit riling instincts at work, not the validity of my criticism. Also, learn some proper capitalization, it makes your comment look like it sounds.
