the Black chick.

The correct term is "African American", you ignorant racist.

=p  lol

She's about as African as I am Irish.  She's just an American.  In terms of descriptors I think black is a legitimate and obvious term.  A lot of people from Africa are also white.  So, African American is not necessarily as descriptive.

Not to get all political about this, but Bull is correct. I prefer black. Black is not derogatory. I understand where you're coming from Cram. Black is viewed derogatory because of the many negative connotations associated with it, blackmail, blacklist, blacksheep and so on vs. white, which has positive associations like, white knight.

Nevertheless, I was never born in Africa nor have I ever been to Africa. The word "Black American" is rich and has a lot of American roots.

Ditto.

Gotta agree.  African American isn't the best descriptive word to use.  Are Mexicans, North American Mexicans?  Proper terms would probably be Sudanese American or Egyptian American, etc. 

Just my take.

As long as you get the race correct I guess it is OK to disparage the sex, you sexist freak.

Just curious, how do you know she is African, maybe she is Carribean or Latin?
