F*CK, IT SUCKS TO BE ME!
This will not make sense to anywone but just typing it will make me feel better.
WTF is with the Gordon rule? I, out of 34 F***** students have to write a 15 page paper because I graduate in August?? And they never, ever have to do it again. NOT FAIR AT ALL! I should be the ONE that DOESN'T have to do it.

I asked my sociology teacher about "black" vrs "African American"
He basically said that either is proper. If someone is going to get offended by one of those words then, "they have issues."
If you call someone black, they could get offended
If you call someone African American, they can get offended.
It's like if you call someone caucasian and they are offended because they define themselves as "white"
Sometimes it's personal preference but in this type of thing, you can't ask every person whether they prefer "black" or "African American"
As the saying goes:
