Thumbs up African

My grandparents hail from Kilkenny Ireland..i am an American. My grandparents are Irish Americans. My friend Enrico copolla has italian Americans parents but rico is 100% American. NEVER do we say we are Euripean Americans. I believe black Americans is the appropiate term. Ther are so many countries in Africa and such a muttled past that very few black Americans actually know what country they are from. Hensforth "black American" is the correct term to use.

Also....must say I have not seen that PC term "African American" in news print, on line or stated in news broadcasts. They are referred to as "black"!
