      I think its closer to

      “I am a black person and I think we should be talking about the term african american vs black”

      to which you replied

      “Theodore Roosevelt gave a speech where he said that we should identify as simply Americans, but he was actually racist against black people so therefore historilinguistically we should use the term african american.”
