OK... question for real. I sometimes get confused as to appropriate use of different descriptors. Is there like a "Strunk & Black" usage guide somewhere (ok - ALMOST serious).

Specifically, I hear African American, Black, Black People, People of Color (yeah - y'all get proper case punctuation).

Sometimes, any of them sound right, other times, they don't. Guidelines appreciated. For example, I would say "Yeah, @verbiage is a black guy." But I would NEVER say "Yeah, X, Y, and Z are blacks."
