Afro-American


1. a hyphenated word derived from the prefix ‘afro-‘, meaning african and the noun ‘american’, meaning a citizen of the united states of america.

2. used to describe an american of african descent.

3. a term which has fallen out of favor in recent years for the more politically correct two word phrase ‘african american’. possibly due to the fact that people think that the prefix ‘afro-‘ does not exist or is in some way derogatory. and believe the noun ‘afro’, describing a popular 1970’s hairstyle is the only definition available.

noun (slang) a name for people of african descent and/or of the negro race who are citizens of the united states. sometimes generally applied to any dark skinned person living in america. not common in current use, it has been replaced with african american, for no appearent reason other than the two following; possibly to distance the speaker or the referents from the late 1960s/early 1970s era when the term was in very common and popular use, or to make it harder to spell, to pr-nounce, and to use more characters in written material.
