but the people who used to be negroes (or blacks) now call themselves African Americans? Shouldn't they call it African American History Month?
by the way, I am a European American, since I've never been to Europe either......

Well one thing is for sure......you picked the perfect sign on name because you are an idiot! I am not an African American! I am black! And damn proud of it! I think black people with ancestors from that country should be called African Americans. My answers were Native American Indians. But I still choose to be recognized as a black woman. And as far as the History Month is concerned.......if you don't know yours, then don't let ours concern you!

I've heard it called both actually. I think most people refer to it as Black History month because that is what they are used to calling it. But all blacks don't refer to themselves as African American. That is really a politically correct term that is used formally. But informally most black people refer to themselves as black.

Europeans are indigenous to Europe using fact human beings unfold into that section and that they adapted to that climate and grew to alter into White Europeans. The ancestors of the two interior of reach human beings, Asians and Europeans all bypass decrease back to a single inhabitants that had unfold into southwest Asia. The branch of human beings that made their way into the Americas tens of thousands of years in the past have been the 1st team in that hemisphere. hence, they're indigenous to those lands. it fairly is not a annoying theory to appreciate. and what's this "to the victor" stuff even mean? There are 500+ tribal countries that still exist in reality, and interior of reach human beings serve interior the US militia on the utmost cost of any ethnicity in this united states.

Because it would be politically incorrect to call it N-word History Month.
