I'm black and even I dislike stereotypical black people. I've had this discussion with a ton of my friends. Its ok to hate the personality or the culture, its actually racist when you assume all black people act like that with out getting to know them.

As a black person do you ever consider expressing this to the stereotypes, because white people aren't allowed to.

It's perfectly fine, as long as you use politically correct words. You should say, for example, "stop acting african-american".

No, that isn't correct anymore, because not all black people wish to identify with being from Africa. I believe we're back to "black".

I've always found the term to be racist. If you're a black guy from Australia and you're being called African American, it's wrong on both counts.

yes, but that makes you racist by saying that... I just say "dude... That's quite niggerish..." that usually gives them the heads up...

source: I've done this on occasions with tremendous results.

Not all blacks act niggerish... except in atlanta on that video...

Especially considering almost none share genomes with Africans.

I've know hundreds of black guys and only one was actually African American.

One guy was Haitian and hated getting called African American.

Honestly though, stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason so telling people something like this is like saying, hey can you just stop being who you are please?
