than African American because not all black people are from Africa. So it'd be annoying to constantly be put into the same group cause you have the same features.
But I don't like the word Black as a word. It gives me a bad image and I feel others feel the same.
If some white boy said "Mom, i'm dating a black girl" she'd get this image of this stereotypical ugly ass chick twerking and talking in slang.
If he simply said "Mom, i'm dating an african-american girl" she might think of a confident, pretty, well-spoken girl with beautiful chocolate skin.
So yeah. #RandomThoughts
