Do We Care Enough Whether We're Called African Or Black?

This blog's questioning headline stems from our observation of London Mayor's annual Africa On The Square change its name to Black On The Square in 2023. Last year, only a handful to to realise the change nor seemed to care much.

This year, we did find many people, when drawn to their attention, did not agree with the change. We even met an African-Caribbean led group protesting the name change in the square. However, even as we come to the end of the UN's IPDAD (international Decade for People of African Descent) 2015-24, we are of the view that Africans generally don't care enough about how they're referred to. Perhaps except if one uses the N-word!

What say you?
