African American

An ethnicity (not a race) that is equivalent to "Asian American" or "Latino/Hispanic American" and is used to designate the population descended from enslaved Africans in the US (and sometimes the Americas in general). It is not synonymous or interchangeable with "black" which is a racial category and may include African Americans (formerly Afro-Americans or American Negroes), Afro-Caribbean people, Afro-Latino people, or any other group that may be racially defined as black. The choice to identify as African American has nothing to do with nationality or race, but with a unique cultural heritage that developed in the US. Therefore, the critique that African Americans are not "African" because they were not born in Africa is irrelevant and as nonsensical as saying that a 10th generation Asian American is not Asian because they weren't born there- the titles are meant to recognize recent origins, current cultural practices, and identities that are distinct from mainstream white American culture (although its forms are often appropriated by mainstream white American culture).

White person who's terrified of difference and of really thinking about history because it means she has to acknowledge that her ancestors were pricks: "You're no more African than I am European."
African American: "That's true but the implications of someone looking at us and guessing that my ancestors were African and that yours were European are pretty freakin different, asshole. Read a history book and maybe you'll figure out why."

African Vagina Monster

an african vagina monster looks much like a large, more vagina-shaped tiger lilly, with the same coloration of the petals but it has teeth, it is not at all like a venus fly trap, do not confuse the two, while venus fly traps trap flies with theyre long, thorn like "teeth", AVM's do not trap, but just eat (with teeth much like a sharks)things, they ae most like to eat penis, fingers, tongues, or condoms. Fear this creature. it is exotic, but fierce.

"That African Vagina Monster just bit my nipple! And then i pissed all over it!"

African American

A word white people use because theyre afraid if they call black people "Black" they'll be offended. Even though black people call white people white. Just a stupid term that blacks are forced to put up with. It seems like a disrespectful term to me though, because it makes it seem like black people are not Americans, white people are just americans, yet blacks are "African Americans" not just plain americans.

White Dude: "He's African American."
Black Dude: "Mother Fucker you gon call me an African American, im from jamaica."
White Dude: "I just didnt want to offend you."
Black Dude: "Ok then, im gon call you a German American."
White Dude: "Im from Norway."
Black Dude: "Exactly!"
Black Dude: "Us "African Americans" are gon call you white people European Americans from now on."
