science isn't the determining factor in what we're called or been called previously. neither is science the reason for others being called white.

these are societal descriptions meant to separate and oppress. we all know that. so the color vs non-color debate doesn't fit this discussion since that's science issue. not a social or political issue.

I prefer Black to AA. AA never made sense to me. None of the terms really work, but to me, Black designates american born black people with some similarities in experience. but again, nothing really fits the whole body of black people.
