You Don't Need to Go African American

African American is in some ways oppressive because it acts as if the black people that are in America, right, aren't just Americans. So I don't think you need to go African American. You're like, it's already self explanatory. We can see. We know white people wait for it. White people happen to be from a bunch of other places in the world. What I'm saying is it almost makes more sense to have the descriptive word before white people. That's not what you know. The reason why it's oppressive is because white people just get to be American and everybody else gets to be this word American.
