And this is why we are being abused by racism because we allow non Black people to define us and give us their languages.

A lot of problems on that front come from using a name for ourselves collectively that is etymologically opaque, semantically vacuous, and basically meaningless. When your enemies define you, it's pretty much downhill from there.
