you can definitely say black people but whether or not it is racist depends on whether or not you are racist and whether or not you attach racist things to the statement

The only people offended by "black people" are scared white people looking for reasons to get offended.

If you say it and an actual black person is offended, you probably used it in a sentence like "wow black people sure do like watermelon and hot sauce lol niggers"

I think this is 100% on the money. All black people I've ever known have really hated being called coloured, and prefer just being called "black" plain and simple. If it's being used as a term of abuse, or to single someone out in a malicious way, that's different. But you could say the same thing about the term "white people". or "*anything* people".

the way words become unacceptable slurs is p. interesting because it's a never ending trendmill that accomplishes nothing. like, retarded was adopted by the medical community because it was seen as a nicer way to refer to people who's mental development has been slowed down than invalids or cripples or whatever. Then it gets adopted as a perjorative so they quickly stop using that and begin describing it as autism, which has now similarly become stigmatized as a slur.

black people had a good run but it's now got too many uncomfortable connotations so instead we're just going to go back to calling them "colored people" with the syntax reversed. this is a good project which will meaningfully change things.

well african american is mean to describe someones cultural heritage much like cajun or similar i guess? at least that's how i understand it, which makes actually describing someone african american based on their skin colour misleading

some african americans to me look p. drat white, but since they've been raised to identify themselves as african american they can't be white

but what do i know, i'm not american

i think it's pretty apparent where the term comes from, don't you?

same as creole, mestizo, pardo and so on. americans just decided to single out those descended from ex-slaves.

african americans or w/e need to come up with a pc term for their culture so ppl can start referring to them with a unique name, like cajun for example.

black is kind of stupid since it doesn't really translate to other languages well and also all black ppl aren't of the same culture

they're already called white, and then broken down to irish american and so on. black ppl are all just black, which admittedly is pretty useless.

also it seems to me that nowadays white americans are very much stereotypified (is that a word?) the same way as latinos or black ppl
