Is it considered atheist if you do not believe in prayers or afterlife, but you believe that something created life, animals, and humans?

When I was growing up, the term was black. I am a Generation X'er. Then when I got in middle/high school, it became the 'politically correct' thing to say "African American". Well, I'm thirty now, and I've decided that I don't know who the hell came up with African American, but that isn't me. I am Black.
Some may say that Black is a color, not a race. Well, I can understand and agree with that. But I also maintain that I am Black. Only because as an American Black woman, I have no identity or where to draw my family lines back to. And we have been very diluted with other cultures as well.
So.....I am proud to be a Black woman. NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN because I am NOT nor have I ever been a citizen of Africa. And my ancestors vary. American Black people are a mixed group. Just look at the range of colors that we possess.

So........American Black, or African Americans.....what do YOU prefer to be called, and why?

to refer to something as Jiggaboo? My husband uses this term and swears it isn't racist but I think it is! He'll tell me the new CD I bought is "jiggaboo" or an outfit I'm wearing looks "jiggaboo" In your opinion is this a racist term?

I am not asking personal opinions but perhaps someone with based knowledge in the area, or with refferences. In verbs such as

burn, dream, learn, spill, spoil, etc we can have to terminationso n the past participle. ed or t (learnt, dreamnt etc). the first is more American, the second more Brittish, but nothing states that either is wrong in neither dialect...so...who can help me?
