I couldn't agree more, Dove1920.
Africa needs to be accepted as a continent more. Most people say "Africa" or "African" so much when they describe an artifact, cloth, song, or dance, that it negates the importance of the actual country or tribe from which the item originated.
Personally, I prefer black, capital or no. I am West Indian, so I really can't be African-American. I think that African-American is too exclusive. It implies that someone who looks just like you is somehow a different classification because he or she was born in another country. Black seems to be more unifying.
But I also ask, why haven't you accepted America, yet? It isn't perfect, but I can think of worst places to live.
