Original Ape,
The last form I filled out, I recall checking "Black" and that was last week. No one is running from our heritage. Who decided it was politically correct to refer to us an African-American anyway? No one asked me my opinion.
Obviously, everyone has an opinion and to each his own. I will continue to use black or African-American whenever I want and if I choose to do so because it is my choice.

Don't get me wrong; I respect people's right to define themselves. No matter what you call yourself, there is a basis for identity. You have Alphas, Deltas,Kappas, Ques, Sigs, Zetas, Bloods, Crips, European-Americans, Asian-Americans, Native-Americans, African-Americans, Latin-Americans; in any event, there is a basis for identity. You choose the basis and hope to receive the identity that comes with it. Think about it.
I'm sorry you misunderstood my intent.
