Do black people prefer the reference African American, Black or Smoke?

"smoke" sounds racist, and I've never heard that before. where the heck do you live???????!!!!!!

Answer 3

African American I Think

Tho some may not have issues with the latter

Answer 4

some prefer black, some prefer african-american, but i'm pretty sure majority would not appreciate being called "smoke"

Answer 5

It depends on who you ask, black and african american are both fine with me.  I don't know anyone who's cool with smoke, though.  I've actually never even heard of anyone calling black people that, and I've been black my whole life.  Did you make that up?  I think you made that one up.  You do know that smoke is usually gray or white, though, right?  Sometimes it's black, but it can be different colors, like blue or red for certain chemicals, or even yellow.  I don't think that's a good one if you're trying to make up your own slur.

Answer 6

Smoke!?  What the h**l is wrong with you?  I'm surprised you could see the keyboard through your white hood to type this.  You should be ashamed of yourself.

Answer 7

As a white person I call them black. African american is dumb unless they were actually born in Africa.  If they were born in America then they are just American.  My ancestors were from Germany, I don't ask people to call me "German American"
