> This was a hard push from white people toward other white people, about being offended on the behalf of black people. Black people have never liked the term African-American, and most don't use it. Doesn't matter because that's not the point of my comment. The person I was responding to said: > and the distinction between "black" and "african american" was made because Americans with slave ancestry are not the only people who have dark skin color. My point is there was no distinction. At the time, in the US, those two terms referred to the same group of people. The push was to replace "black" with "African-American", not to use whichever term was more appropriate.
