If we identify as "black", why do we get uneasy when white people say it?

I wouldn't mind be called a Black African.

I mean I'm black and of African descent.

Umm ok

bbbbb

It just sounds so matter of fact.

"That Black African sittin over there!" :dead: :dead: :dead:  :plzstop: :plzstop:

Like, excuse me? :hmph: :plzstop:

I know it's to differentiate between White & Black African people.
Here in the US I barely hear that term. So it kinda catches me off guard. No shade.
I see what you mean

But I think so many of these things have to do with the way we've associated these terms within our own community

For instance, say the term "dark skinned" and people are giving the side eye...say the term "light skinned" and people are rolling their eyes...and don't you dare fucking say "mixed".  :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:

I don't mind black (schwarz), I hate colored (farbig) with a passion.
