Abbreviation for "African-American" that saves time in conversation and when writing text.
The AfAm lady gave a speech on why all AfAms should be proud of the AfAm label. "AfAms," she declared, "Your family might have been here for 400 years, but I have built my academic career as an AfAm academic in an AfAm Studies Department on the idea that we are not real Americans, but hyphentated AfAms."
