Africa, the continent. Thats why its African American. Because most black people in America are descendents of Slaves from Africa.

All black people in America are descendents of slaves. Not all of them are descendents if slaves that were slaves in America. Technically, all people everywhere are descendents of slaves. Someone coined the term 'African-American' for a reason, but that doesn't change the fact that it is a stupid term and worse than useless, since it can be confusing, ambiguous, and misleading.

Every person is a defendant of Slaves? I ask for a source for that. And African American is an American term for Black Americans. Not all black people. Descendants of African people with American citizenship. What is racist about that? I think yall just need a reason to be offended.

Edit: no word just get Coined by "one" person it's a Broadly accepted word in Society and if it were offensive in the Past why keep and treat it as normal language.

Source: look up 'Most Recent Common Ancestor,' realize that virtually every pre-modern society had slaves at some point, and put 2 and 2 together.

So you say that every person had a Slave ancestor because your recent Ancestor had some... (watch edit!) Thats not a viable source nor a good argument if you don't have the data to support it. I dont think i have Slave ancestors at least not anything that recent as it would seem like humanity is a Incest pool. And thats just one minor point of my argumentation do you want to go on the other things i mentioned.

Edit: Okay now i read "Most recent common Ancestor" i understand that till some Point we arent fully related to the First humans. And the out of Africa THEORY is also no reason why one of MY ancestors was a Slave.

You clearly don't understand how MRCA works. When you learn how to use logic and elementary school level math, maybe I'll bother addressing the rest if you still think it holds.

Oh thanks for making this discussion on ONE thing and then insulting me for not understanding it right away (im a 10 grader and the closest thing to MRCA that i learned is natural selection) ! Thanks for destroying your own argumentation by not trying to be civil (edit) and respectfull.
