A "politically correct" term white people use to refer to black people in an attempt to "not be racist", when in reality calling a black person BLACK would be "politically correct", and is in no way racist, in opposition to a white person calling a black person "nigger", which still isn't racist because Irish people were called nigger long before black people since it means "slave".
Politician: We need to address the issues of the African American community more directly!
Black person: Shut da fuck up wit dat shit whitey! I'm motherfuckin' black, and dat's it!

Note: This is defining the term, not the people.
A ridiculous and ill applied label that was accepted with a thoughtless rush just to make white people feel at ease and slightly noble.
Those African Americans are great!

A word mistakingly used everyday. Im a white guy, and I could technically be a african american if I was born in Africa, and thus, immigrate to America.
Though black peoples roots are in Africa, they themselves were not born there. So that just makes them American, like everyone else born here.
I have a mostly german/scottish/irish/ french background, my roots are in europe, thus am I european American? Nah, im just American, because I was born here.

The current, acceptable, feminist-certified, polically correct way to refer to anyone of african descent. Designed to eliminate any unintended racial tension in this hypersensitive, perpetually offended society we've become where people just can't lighten the fuck up anymore.
That's not a poor black guy dressed up as Santa Claus, that's an economically disadvantaged african american exercising the right to achieve monetary compensation by commercially benefiting from the eurocentrically imposed midwinter festival"

A term commonly used to refer to American blacks, who by now are no more african than any other american.

Politically correct term for black people.
‘I’m not frickin’ African American. I’m American. I have never been to Africa, and I never want to. I can barely tell you five countries in the stupid place.’
Black people aren’t offended by the word ‘black’. Only white people are. Which makes no sense whatsoever. Truthfully, if you came up to me and called me an ‘African American’ then I’d be offended, but if you called me ‘black’ I probably wouldn’t even notice.

1. A person, born on the continent of Africa, who becomes a naturalized citizen of the United States of America.
2. The most commonly misused word, (albeit one deemed politically correct by people afraid to use the words "black" or "colored") describing the black population of the United States of America.
While Taneisha thought she was African-American, she was born right here in Lower Alabama.
