Yup, they surely are mastah, but not as quickly as you.\n\nWhich "black people" are you looking at?  The constant parade of crackheads, welfare, ghetto, perpetually incarated streoptypical black person as portrayed by our great media or are you looking at the fastest growing middle class in Americanada?\n\nAre you looking at Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, and Barak Obama?\n\nAs far as the so called "N" word is concerned, black people can call each other whatever they want in whatever manner they want just as other people and cultures refer to each other using outwardly negative terms but between friends is understood as something else.  \n\nDon't get me wrong, a black person using the "N" word for the same reason and effect as anyone else is just as wrong.  The difference is in who can use a term such as the "N" word in a neutral or positive way.  If you happen to be white, and your name happens to Eminem, and your close friends happen to be Dr Dre, 50 cents, and the rest of the "posse" then you can do it because the understanding exists that the intent is not to wound.  And it's all about the intent.\n\nNow if you happen to be just an acquaintance or it's a first time intro, then I would not suggest greeting a black person with, "what's up my n*gga?" you might get in a bit of trouble.\n\nNow judging from the conversations I have had with my friends, some white people are not mad about black people using the "N" word, they are mad that they cannot liberally use it.  They cannot parse that the word could be anything but a derogatory slur...or maybe they can and feel that they can wiled the power of the word judiciously.  \n\nI still say what I have always said, I invite any person who is not black to use the word at their discretion when speaking to black people.  As you're walking down the street, feel free to say, "hello N*gger, nice day isn't it?"

Because whites used it as hate during slavery and segregation in the 1960's and probably some still do. Did you see the movie Malcom X he said he was call Nigger so much he swear it was his name. The word was use in our generation and not looong ago. So any whites who use it would be seen as racist because it was why they used the word, to insult them. For white to use it also will mean it okay to call someone offensive names.

I believe names are given by the child's parents or a close family member. U.S culture has sipped throughout the world so it wouldn't surprise me to find some people with more common American names. As for Europeans becoming mainstreams in schools, don't quite see your point. Europeans aren't that fund of Americans trust me I live in Europe.

When slave owners "bought" African slaves, they "changed" their African names to "good" Christian names.  African slaves were not given an option to keeping their family names or naming traditions; in many instances they weren't able to decide their own children's names .  When the slaves were set free and able to chose their own names, they didn't know what their original African family name  was.  Many of them continued to use the slave owners name because that was what they were accustomed to.  Some African-Americans have rejected what they consider to be slave names and have adopted either Arabic or African names.

Very good question, I don't know why black people are called African Americans. Some black people have never even been to Africa. But it everyone wants to get technical we are all African Americans. when life frist started we all came from Africa. When all the contenients were together it was call something like( shit I forgot the name ) but africa was the center of it all . even in biblicul times, it said we all came from that region. So again we are all African american in a way

It's a culture. Why do French people name their kids Jacques and Francoise? Germans name their kids Hans and Ute? Spanish speakers Carlos and Pilar? Just respect and accept.

I have no idea why they're so uptight. They feel that if they suffered in the past they have the right to be the country's little princesses. I've been to Europe and I swear black people aren't so uptight there. So the source for all this must be the frustration of african americans of having been enslaved by the white man in the past. Ok, we're all sorry. It's not going to happen ever again so you can all start behaving like everybody else now. Stop being so touchy.

I agree. I for one, am even more offended when black people use it, because the worst kind of degradation is self degradation. Certain black people need to show more respect for themselves and their people.

I believe that is a creative spelling, and not rooted in any particular language. Here are some similar names: \nTamasha African Female Pageant\nTanisha African Female Monday's Child\nThema         African Female Queen\n\nHere's a good tool that will help you find the origins of baby names: \nhttp://www.babycenter.com/babyname/index.jhtml?_requestid=212121

There has never been A ONE UNIFIED GROUP WHO IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES BY THE TERM BLACK that's a European Racist creation. Dealing with mankind on the basics of skin color is the doctrine of the devil.\n\nIn Order to deny the truth, they created a lie. They took one indigenous tribe in Africa who still had traditional or what they call primitive culture and said this is how ALL black skin people are.  They all wear plates in the lips, swing from trees, don't have a written language etc.\n\nBy doing this they said the ancient Egyptians, Ethiopians, Hebrews, couldn't have been black, because they could write and build great things, so they lumped all black skin people together and called us African, black, and Negroes. They called the Egyptians, Ethiopians and Hebrews, white. Even though as scripture tells us the Egyptians & Ethiopians were brothers both descendants of Ham. The name Ethiopia means burnt or black face.\n\nToday you have so called black scholars using the same terminology the gentiles racist created in order to deceive us.\n\nYou have been fooled into thinking you have made progress because you refer to yourself as African or black, instead of Negro, or nigger. You have not made any progress,  calling yourself black and African is the same as calling yourself Negro and Nigger. They are all bywords and proverbs they still don't explain who you are. The people on the continent of Africa don't buy into the Gentile racist doctrine of all being one nation because we all have similar skin color. They see themselves as different nations and always have.\n\nWhen you call yourself black what does that mean? What is a black? Black does not constitute a nationality or culture. It is something that was created to keep you ignorant of your true Identity. Every man on earth is describe by his nation (Nationality), Chinese are people from China, Irish are people from Ireland, Polish are people from Poland, Mexicans are People from Mexico, Blacks are people from where? Black is a word that should be used to describe a noun. A black car, black skin, black hair, black book etc.  When you use black nationalist what does that describe?\n\nBut what is the true nationality, language, religion and culture of the so called African Americans tell me if you can?

There are black people who don not like the N' word being used by other blacks and there are blacks who choose to use it with each other. However ALL blacks agree that no white person should use it EVER. Their is no word that black people can use that carries the pain, hatred, and brutal history of slavery and the struggle for  blk freedom that the N' word does.  Their are blk senior citizens who are still afraid of white people' because of what that word means.  No one will ever have the right to abuse us again. Don't get it twisted. Until your relatives are held down and raped in-front of you , your church is burned to the ground, your windows are broken out because you moved to a NICE neighborhood, Don't even consider using that word. unless of course your a racist. I prefer to know who the enemy is. I cannot give an excuse for other blacks who use it' but we don't need anyone adding to their ignorance. and I can't even begin to say what I think about that tree remark. Oh wait,  His career is hung and done just like that statement.

First of all I am white but i dont care if people i know are black, blue, or green it is their personalities that i "get along with" or dont get along with.  \nSecond it is because the first african americans in america were slaves and the master/slave mentality is sadly passed from parents to children, and is hard to change. This is horrible.

Blacks do not call themselves Afro-Americans. That's what white people started putting on apps. I don't consider myself an Afro-American nor do I consider myself and African- American. I was not born or raised in Africa nor have I ever been. My mother or father has never been nor have their parents or the ones before them. That's just another way to let others know  they are referring to a dark skinned person.
