We are an American group primarily descended from a collection of different ethnic groups from Africa. Due to isolation, we have developed our own distinct culture. Why do people have a problem with this, just asking?

It's very confusing considering the older group wants to be call Negro and is offended if called Black or Colored. Jesse Jackson complicated the matter by promoting the term African American. Now the youngsters want to be called Black and can be offended depending on the individual if called Negro, Colored, or African American. And I'm sure there are many other individual cases.
