Well, from my time in Brazil, I can say they are called pretos which means blacks. In English, I always say Afro-Brazilian because it sums it up easily and effectively. \n\nAs far as England...you got me there.

If you want to know the language they use, try searching for:\n\nAAVE: Afro-American Vernacular English\nit's used in linguistic literature.

He was real wrong to say those nasty things, but i do not see how money would help anything. what really gets me is that i hear black people say that word and not one person even gasp, yet a white guy says it and they cant believe they have heard that word. Racism knows no color. to the lady who gave an answer addressed to me. I by no means meant to offend anyone. i really did not know there was a diff. i do appreciate you explaining that to me.

Some blacks ARE African-Americans. They actually came here from Africa. \n\nI'm half Black. I prefer Black. Other Blacks who were born here think of being called Black as a negative thing because of the tone some people have in their voice when they say "Black people." I still know plenty of people who feel like they need to whisper it when they say it. \n\nIt's a matter of preference. Say Black. If someone gets offended, tell them why you choose Black. If they are still offended, and you don't mean any harm by it, then whose problem is it, really?

This is an confusing issue, indeed. Just because a person is from Africa does not mean that they are African American. The term African-American is specifically for blacks born in America who are from black African decent (the Negroid race). The term is not used for Caucasian or Mongoloid people from African nor for blacks who were born in Africa.

1)Yes, we still live in a racist country.  I am a 46 year old Black woman who has experienced quite a bit of racism bcos of the color of my skin (caramel) without any knowledge of who I really am.  I have traveled quite a bit within the states as well as other countries & honestly cannot see much of a difference.  Point in case...I've even traveled to Africa & have been faced with questions like "what are you?".  I think that I offended the one asking the question bcos I said "I'm an American".  They responded "do you mean African-American?" to which I responded "sure if thats how you would like to phrase it".  2) Yes my parents had a hard time but they "dealt with it" by being active in the civil rights movement.  My great-grandmother would never let me work in the fields when I visited saying " no way, your Mom & Grandmama would have a fit & besides those days are over for your generation".  She was right, however there are others here who seem to forget that.  With regards to "us guys" still living in this country...this is our country & we'll fight for the right to live here....in peace.

He would be what ever the Russian culture called him.  I don't speak Russian, and haven't visited there...so don't know their culture or language.\n\nIf he came to America, we're stupid, and would problably call him an Afro-American out of our own stupidity.\n\nTo the lady who said he decended from a slave brough to Russia??? Not all Afro's (is this the politically correct way to say this??? Is this your point???) were slaves...some were explorers!!!

The word you are referring to was a place people were from. Thats how at that time they were labeled, by where they had been taken from. It didn't originate with 2 G's but one as in Niger. But over time thats how all african americans became reffered to. In all honesty, it might not mean as much as it does had it not been used the way it was. But because it was said with such hate and disgust it became a new curse word. And I think the reason that african americans can use to word on each other without being offended is this. Not all of us are like them and we can't say that we know how it is to be them. So for someone of a different race to say it to them is to be discriminated against.

I'm Black and I speak proper English at all times unless I'm just hangin' w/ friends.  However, when it matters, and when I hear Black people speaking Ebonics -- or what I just plain call "ghetto" -- I think they are simply uneducated.  I think they're low-class and I think they reflect poorly on ALL Blacks.

Only the American Blacks, my best friend from South Africa is quiet and unassuming, but he commented about how the American Blacks were different too...  We both figured it had something to do with the 'slavery' chip on the shoulder they carry around similar to the 'holocaust' chip on the should that the Jews carry around....
