So what do you call a white person from South Africa?
Don't blacks refer to themselves as blacks?
Color/racial identity labels are of European origin. They can be whites if they want. That's their culture.
Who are "blacks?" SMH. It's not that hard.
The majority of African census reports do not include color labels for themselves. Only the ones that do were those who had too much European interference include them. The term "black" is nothing but a colonial/slave label contrived by ignorant Europeans.

Well, "Black" IS the label used when talking about dark skin people from Africa. It is what it is. Just like "white" means most Europeans, Arabs, Iranians and so on. Same kind of thing that "Asian" means a person with similar DNA from India through Japan.

Maybe you should take up your grievance with the Black/African American/Colored/not white community. They're the one's who call themselves black. find something real to complain about. Petty, really petty.

PLEASE. It is a colonial/racial label contrived by Europeans and their descendants and you certainly know how to drop color labels when you want to discuss your beloved Irish and the English and how the latter treated the former, enslaving then. Yet you REFUSE to educate yourself when it comes to Africans ethnicities and insist on forcing color labels on ethnic groups.
Asian is NOT a color label and you know it. The proper term for Nigeria to Ethiopia to Namibia is African. When discussing historical issues, learn to refer to the groups ethnically like you do for Europeans. If you are unfamiliar, that isn't their fault.
All of my ancestors 4-5 generations ago belonged to somebody.
But I don't agree with reparations because:
I don't think that giving people money helps them out in any way; It would actually do harm because most wouldn't put it to good use. Besides, there are a number of benefits that people already get.
These kinds of handouts also serve to stigmatize all black people as "free-loaders", much in the same way that affirmative action delegitimizes black academic achievement. Any black person that went to a good school is labeled an "Affirmative action baby".
It would be very messy. There's no way to determine who's actually a slave descendant. How black do you have to be? One drop? Would foreign black people count even though none of their ancestors were slaves in the United States? I bet hispanics would even contrive some way to get the money.

IF we're gonna go there: ALL of us started out IN Africa way back in the day so, ALL people are "African". Period.
Too: MOST English AND Irish people still "white". lol

HAHAHA...look at this idiocy. Anything to maintain your lack of education. Color labels are of European origin, NOT African.
Stop whining and read a book. Get a passport. Travel. It is that hard.
It's mainly whites obsessing over this. The vast majority of African descendants couldn't care less.
Interesting. So what you're saying is that most black people don't care about reparations, but there is a small vocal minority that does. Their pronouncements, in turn, send a fair number of white people into an absolute tizzy over the issue.

No you aren't. Stop claiming other people's identity for convenience. Being African isn't a social club that you join. You all are so disrespectful that you think you can pick up and put down other people's heritages like nothing. Disgusting.

Maybe you should back up and see who's actually doing the whining
