Politically correct term for black people

The trouble with the phrase "politically correct" is that it is shrouded in semantic confusion. It is more often than not used to describe something silly or when things are taken too far. This means it is rapidly becoming unavailable to be used in its original sense. This is a pity as the phrase is bandied about by those with an agenda who wish to have the right to be offensive.

 As to chosing the right word, it really has become complicated. Fashions change and not everyone keeps up. New words are found because a word that started off as inoffensive takes on a perjorative meaning - "spastic" is a goood example and it is starting to happen to "gay". Then, people who are described by words with perjorative associations start to use them in an attempt to take the sting out of them - "queer" is an example. It all makes it very difficult for kind people who do not want to be inoffensive.

Black is not only  Africans or Afro-Americans.Some parts of Asian people are also called Black or Brown .In fact colonizers used to call them with that name .

Isn't it better to say American of African origin or people of Africa or India or Bangladesh etc. 

I personally feel that a word is derogatory when it is used in a humiliating manner .
