Leslie Alston I do not want to be labeled anything. “Leslie” cannot be labeled. I am a human being. That is what God chose me to be a human being or a female. Do not use words to describe my outer appearance.

successful_tony I prefer African American because it describes our roots and where our ancestors came from

mrchevyent Either or but African American is more appropriate
bigfredcomedy Doesn’t make a difference, its about the regard you have for the people.
_renee.s_3rd No we are not African Americans that would denote an African who is now nationally American in addition to 2 continents. But black is a color, we are the indigenous/aborigines
tmodemkilla I’m human just treat me as such! @drejohnson1
capricornchevymeka@drejohnson1 I am an American, not black because my skin color is brown. Just call me an American.
