What do some Indians think of 'Black' Americans?

I would never call a Native American an Indian. I mean people from India.

Be more specific Native Americans or Indian people from India?
Oh then I'm not sure, I hope nothing racist or negative considering they are usually darker than us.

Hi
I am an Indian and I think this is a weird question. I don't believe you could form a generalised opinion of a race. Though my good opinions of Black Americans may be based on the people I have met, they would obviously change if I have a bad experience!
I live in England and every other day there is a story on BBC about a Black teenager who killed or mugged someone. If I form an opinion based on those incidents, you would have guessed it would be a bad one. But then don't whites or Asians kill people?
And I have had some brilliant Black co-workers who were very good in their work and very nice persons.
I guess I have made my point... I know a lot of you would say the question was about Black Americans, but if you consider what I am saying, it applies to everyone, irrespective of where they live or what their race is.

Princezzj, I am an Indian and I can assure you that we have nothing but respect for the Black Americans. A lot of our Indians are also black and as far as I am concerned ‘black is beautiful’ Without the Black Americans, America would be no where on the sports front so I would say that they are a big asset to their nation

Why wouldn't you call a Native American an Indian? They call themselves Indians in many instances. I'm not an Indian, but I was born in America, so am I not a Native American, too? (My great-grandmother was a Creek Indian, tho.)

The inhabitatns of America were red-indian. The whites went after church war. Then black were taken as slaves. After America Independence all were America citizen. But negros are still called as Black American.

'Black Americans' are presented as criminals and unaccepted citizens in most of the films and novels. This misrepresentation makes many Indians think that they are hard and unfit to be befriended. This kind of thinking is gradually declining because of good manners exhibited by some of the 'black' Americans.

I have not interacted with any Black American. I have a very good impression about them. I am amazed at their physical strength and the vigour with which they excel in sports.
