How many black people get offended if "black" is mentioned in a headline/text?

As supporting info for the main story.

Eg. Take the following headline:

"Obama Returns to Campaign Trail to Rally Black Voters"

Are you offended by this?

Should it be:

"Obama Returns to Campaign Trail to Rally Voters"

I just notice that some people are only to quick to jump on "BLACK" "BLACK" SHE SAID BLACK" Like black people are some sort of foreign entity not to be spoken of. And then may even follow up with:

"See! Black voters! Not white, because white people........" insert your own spin, that will surely leave me completely stumped!

Or is it okay, because Obama is black? Or is he? I don't even know. Is he brown? What is he considered? Which leads me to another trail of though. If your mum is white, and your dad is black. Are you black or white? I don't get it....I also don't get why people feed into it. I think there are ALOT of people who don't want "racism" to go away...that's the feeling I genuinely get.

I guess the truth is when that goes away we'll find something else to segregate ourselves based on.

Honestly it’s how people are described in society...

I just don’t like it when facts are spun to make it seem like he’s the black savior. In USA one percent makes you black.

Weird holiday fact.... if we were in Amsterdam it would. be a conversation. They really just dislike Arabs there. But They have an issue with Black Pete because Santa’s helper was an African child. So they put on black face and red lip stick and dance around. It’s a social issue there too.

Not black so can't say but what the fuck? If were black I'd rather be called black then "African American." What the fuck is that shit. LOL. Shouldn't it just be American?

Uffff African American. I'd like to see how that would work in Europe. Or the arab world. Its quite interesting actually, they do say african arabs (Moroccans, Tunisian, or to the east Yemeni, Omani) but these ARE African countries which were conquered by Arabs. But they dont call black Saudi's/Emiratis/Bahrainis African ..........

I guess being raised with Nigerian, Chinese, Pakistani, Indian etc etc in school it may have made me completely ignorant? Which is actually sad to say as a bad thing. I just feel if we have the complete opposite end of the spectrum to ignorance going on it will forever and always remain "an issue"
