Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

“Black” just works as a better term. It’s hilarious when people refer to black folks from other countries as “African American.”
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone offended by being called “black.”
If white is not offensive, why would black be offensive? It makes no sense.
"Black" being considered offensive was a thing in the late 90's, but it didn't last.
Yeah I remember an anecdote about two Americans on a beach referring to a black British man as something like "African American British" but it was even so long ago that I've forgot what they said exactly.
