Yep. The only time I ever get odd looks for using the term black is from white folks.

Same here. I say "black." And when I say it at work, my white colleagues will look at me as if to say "did you just say black? Are you allowed to say that?"

It's kind of funny. But yeah sorry, I realized at around age 17 that "African American" doesn't make any sense to label a black person.
