You must forgive me right at the start, I don’t mean nothing bad at all. Why do black people want to be called African American? Most have never been there and their father, grandpa or great grandpa never stepped a foot in Africa. I know and I’m friends with black men and they don’t use or want to be called African Americans. Somehow the term is more widely used it seems. They have no desire to even go to Africa. Maybe I’m out of the loop. I don’t call myself German or French or Australian American. I’m sorry for my ignorance and never have intentions to offend on this subject. I’m really close like I already mentioned to black people. Does anyone know?
