I like being called Black or African American. Either one can be used offensively depending on who says it & how they say it. It would be great if we could all be thought of as equals but we are not quite there yet. We need to accept who we are & not allow anyone to disrespect us or treat us unfairly. I think it is sad when Black people are ashamed of being Black. Everyone should be proud of who they are & be the best person they can be.
