Its not about the individual cases of people saying it, that would of course be very petty, since its a commonly used term. Again its the end result of it. Calling black people black basically means that their ancestors came from Africa. I do also understand that there are a ton of different countries and cultures in Africa, not just one. But the difference is that "Black" also has a very different connotation, because African Americans chose to turn it into a statement of power, to be proud of their "blackness" and I applaud that, because of what they have had to deal with in this country. But we all know "white power" has a very different meaning that I don't subscribe to. So its apples and oranges on that.Eh, I call my black friends "black" and they call me "white", none of us give a fuck.
