Default Are people afraid to say \"black guy\"?

I was listening to the radio this morning, and I don't even know what they were talking about, but that's not important. One of the DJ's on this show is black, and was talking about something taht he liked to do, I don't know. So I hear the white soccer mom type DJ pipe up and say "Now, is this something only a brother can do?"

I don't know what the hell she meant by that, by I about died when she called him a brother. Is that what is respectful? Or politically correct? I always just call black people what they are, black people.

Is that ignorant of me to say "black guy"(or girl)?

Or was what she said even worse, calling a black guy a "brother"?

Call them black people. If they really have a problem with it, that's a bit excessive. Certainly don't say "brother," lol.

It's more PC to say "african american" but because its so long winded I just say black too.

"brother" isn't that bad... I could be way off base but I dont think they'd have a big problem with it.

Not all African Americans are black, should I call white people from South Africa "African Americans"?
