Black is Back Story

This is in response to Pepper Miller's story-Black is Back. Personally, I never really paid attention to the different names society used for blacks. Now that I have read the article, I do notice how shifts in time have used different terms. It went from negros in the slave days to black to African American. I do think that there should be one term, because it seems like people don't know what to call this race. African-American does seem to specify a descent from Africa, and that could exclude those who don't consider themselves African. But I think we are all American. So it is confusing because its like what do you say-Black American? It's just like Hispanics, are we Latino, Chicano, Spanish, or do we go by our home country? I never cared about race and what people are because I am mixed racially and I know that my family consists of a lot of different people. I think Pepper's article is good though, and it's kind of funny how she addresses the issue. According to her, black is back, so we will see what society determines next.
