yah so be it BLACK....
but no, James Brown never made a song called "Say It Loud, im Darkey and Im PROUD" c'mon son....earn a brain.
Negro=Spanish for black, and they didnt mean any racial connotation by saying "negro"....
I prefer black cause thats what I Identify with, not "n-word" or anything else...I call every race a "n-word" I consider myself Black, if you don't, more power to you...

What about those who are from light-skinned African countries (Egypt, Algeria, Libya etc), should they put African-American?

Are Whites called European-American? No they are not ... they're called AMERICAN. That's it.
That's the problem I have with it.

I would prefer black too, though I don't care. It's just a matter of accuracy, as well as consistency since rarely do they get called European American. Nobody in my family has been in Africa for almost 3 centuries. At what point do you remove the hyphen and become "from" here?

this is a strange topic..
my ancestors are african.
they were taken to the caribbean islands, where I assume a slave master named "Waterman" raped one of my great-great...grandmothers
my grandmother migrated to the U.S, and i was born here
this makes me an african american..i think "black" is an insult because my skin is brown, and it's a complete misrepresentation

Um like myself, I know exactly what part of Africa I'm from....I honestly don't care what people call me. But I'd prefer Ibo/ Nigerian American. Egyptians are Egyptian Americans....so on and so forth.
Some of my Egyptian friends actually call themselves African American for lulz.
Black is an all-inclusive term for "dark-skinned" people of the African diaspora. It isn't specific....I guess some African Americans want to be referred to as Black Americans.
