"Black person" is slang for "African" or "African American" or anyone else with very dark skin. You need to learn your slang, dude.
A "race" is a real thing, in this world. We have:
"White or Anglo"
"Black or African"
"Yellow or Asian"
"Red or Indian"
"Brown or Hispanic".
Sure, there are those that don't fit into this category... But for the majority, this is what we have. Not everyone KNOWS who their true ancestors are. I'm aware that I am 1/8th Cherokee Indian in blood, but I do NOT associate with the Cherokee Tribe. That's just silly. (Though I do like their ways and customs...)
Please stop repeating yourself, it's painful to watch.
NeuroNeptunian is an awesome user, leave her(?) alone! :P
Actually black isn't slang for African or African American...there is no such thing as an African american, or an Asian American, you're American. The current politically correct term is black.
I live in KY, USA... I don't think we've really ever made up our minds as to which one we want to use. I think it's just that different groups of people have different opinions as to which term they want to use... but to me they're just "black", just like I'm just "white".
Yeah it makes more sense I think. African American is presuming someone's heritage based on their skin, whereas black presumes nothing. Also, as you said, we say we're white, not European American or European British :D
Nope, no I don't. Because it doesn't concern me, and that's not my area of expertise. If I ever truly NEEDED to know anything about that, I would consult the Almighty Internet.
Google "African Person". Just use your computer mouse, click and drag the little icon to highlight the two words... and right click, then look for "Search Yahoo for "African Person"" (or whatever browser it says).
You're somewhat a dogmatist with your criticism of the use of -ist and -ism, seeing there are 887 dictionary entries for words ending with -ist and 1201 entries for words ending with -ism not including antiismism and antiistist which are obviously not valid words. but should be given honorary exertion to describe your aversion. At the risk of being an exhibitionist, could I interest you in a link to words in your blacklist, my favourites being moronism, schism and egotist?
Is it normal To think black people are the most racist of all?

There is no such thing as a 'black person'.
From which tribe(s) do you belong?
Use of 'race' in this context is now Archaic. It is not a 'race'. Please describe yourself and others by your or their tribal identity.
Please do not use -ists or -isms.
Violation.
Please see Rule #8 & Rule #10.
Infringement; inciting others.

I remember when "black" was considered offensive, I wonder when it changed? :|

It must be a cultural thing.
In the UK, black has been the accepted common term for decades.
When was it offensive where you are?

That's the only thing I can think of, too.
Teehee. "African British"... that's funny, :D

Meh. Fuck science. :P
Just kidding. That's a nice fact right there. Could have done without the sarcasm though...
Please describe an 'African' person.
You need to learn the diversification and intergradation of the human specie (Homo sapiens sapiens).

You realize you are acting like a complete dork, don't you?
Thank you, but I do know the journey of humans. I have studied Paleoanthropology and Anthropology.
If you wish to remain ignorant, please do not inflict it on others.

Negative. It does not specify what you're 'sucking on', but I'll leave that to your imagination!
