People of color?

I hate it when people refer to black people as "people of color." What color? Black? Black is not a color. It's a shade. If anyone is colored, it's white people. They turn all kinds of colors. And they're not that white, either.

Nor is white a color. It's a shade. I guess you could refer to blacks and whites as "people of shades."

I don't particularly like it when blacks are referred to as African Americans. That would only be true if they immigrated from Africa. They are black Americans, plain and simple. Native Americans isn't really accurate, either. Aren't we all native Americans if we were born here?

So let's just refer to black people as such.
