Respectfully, are you sure you didn’t mean “Black?” “African American” doesn’t accurately capture e.g., Caribbean and Latin American identities.
- cellularmitosis 7y agoThe specific issues the OP referenced were police brutality in the US against blacks, so I would assume he specifically meant African American.
