personally, i see it as a term that was used to give black people an identity. after centuries of being treated like crap, i think there was a desire to differentiate themselves and show their pride of their african heritage. i have first cousins that are mixed race, and in our family, if we need to use a term, we do just use black. but i think it always depends on the person and the circumstance.
