Black americans are better people, more creative, more talented, better athletes, more intelligent, more laid back and more in touch with their roots.

I guess the reason theres so much racism by white Americans...

It's kinda strange by NikkiGiovanni to make a comparison, i think black american music has way more diversity than caribbean music...caribbean music....

If you don't know the person whose company you are in, black is the appropriate term.
