[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's OK to call me Black or even black. I am not African American. My ancestors are from Jamaica and Haiti. And yes, I've done the DNA test kits. [/quote] Thank you. A black person snapped at me once for using the term “black” and I said exactly this. I don’t know anyone’s DNA and Africa isn’t the only place with highly melanated people. I felt damned if I did and damned if I didn’t in her eyes. [/quote] NP. A couple of tips: 1) you should, though, avoid saying “Blacks,” and 2) everybody is going to have their own preferences and that’s valid. They shouldn’t snip at you but you also have to not take things too personally. [/quote] I didn’t say “blacks”, and I can’t imagine a scenario where that would be ok. Eek. I just wish there were a way to not offend anyone but when no one agrees on what’s offensive, it’s a bit of a tough spot. [/quote]
