Black or African-American?
There was a major disagreement among several CNAs today. Which is correct, black or African-American, was the subject.
I grew up hearing about colored people and we had friends of my parents come over for dinner. My folks belonged to the NAACP. They were darker than us but otherwise, just normal people. Then the word became negroes. That was bastardized to ni**ers. It changed to black and was accepted for decades. Now it's African-American.
Do you have a preference, if you're uhh not white? If you're white, what's your preferred word?
I'm American. Not Russian-American (mom's family traced back to the early 1800's), Polish-American (the same on my father's side) and not Jewish-American (religion, not race).
I'm curious what others say.
