Another blatent Metaquotes theft - political correctness run amuk
sushidog: I have heard tell of an American newscaster reporting on violence in South Africa, and referring to the "African-American Africans" who had been hurt or killed.

kermitron: Awesome! But I think we can go one better. For black African-Americans that specifically come from Africa and live in America (unlike the Haitians and Jamaicans and whatnot, who live in other countries entirely), we can have American African-American Africans. Also, this abbreviates to "AAAA!" which if my studies of American pop-culture (i.e.: music and movies) serve me correctly, is what people in the US yell when they see black people anyway.
Context is fine with "black," thank you.
