what the hell? of all the problems in the world, we're concerned about whether people are "black" or "African-American." good lord...all race is is the color o fthe skin - i don't think you can distinguish between the two. i happen to be white (something that i don't really care if i'm called) and of all my black friends, i can't think of one who minds being called "Black." i even heard Whoopi Goldberg interviewed once, and she objected to being called "African-American." She said she was born in AMerica, not Africa. so, diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks. in the meantime, why don't we worry about the fact that race relations have a long way to go; the fact that there is still an enormous amount of de facto segregation in the US, and the majority of poverty-stricken people are minorities; and the fact that minorities still face an enormous amount of discrimination, instead of worrying about politically-correct terminology.
