Use Black, problem solved.

The term is outdated. Now, "African American" implies "sort of native" to this country, even though our ancestors built the whole damn thing from the ground up. Even though they were shipped in because those "founding" Europeans literally could not begin a new nation without their labor. "African American" is infused with its original meaning, which I believe recognizes the American black community as a group that is not a part of the foundation and function of this country; a sub-division of the American people. The descendants of the Europeans who started those first settlements on American soil and completely disturbed everyone in the process are not named after the continent that they left to come here. We do not call every Caucasian man and woman in this country "European-Americans." We call them Americans. Or Caucasians. Or white people.

I usually do but since I was raised in the 90s, when African American was the phrase of choice, that's sometimes what comes out.

It also implies Americans who are descended from Africans who arrived here (one way or another) a long time ago and not recent African imigrants to the US, who have had different cultural histories and experiences.

"The whole damn thing"

No, no you/they did not. Next you'll tell me the rail system was built by black people, instead of Chinese/Irish immigrants.

Yeah, black slaves did not build America from the ground up. They propped up a portion of the economy for a while, especially in the South (which is part of why the South was so reluctant to give up slavery), but they didn't build the country.

Like, I get that that narrative probably makes you feel better, but it kinda makes slavery seem a lot more noble and beneficial than it really was.
