Do hyphenated-Americans contribute to racism?

[BillyP]

I have more pride in being Black than being an American. Being an American is not hard. Why do you believe what you think I should have more pride in is important to me?

I know I am American. My ancestors came from Africa. The term African-american is not subject to interpretation from a white guy. You dont define what it means. We do.

We're all just American, and African-American doesn't even reference Africa, it's a PC way to say "black". So you don't even know why you're calling yourself that. It's ridiculous. The blacks in ferguson have no pride in America, just tear it up for any excuse. Too busy being a fake African to have pride in being an American. You're a black American, just like I'm a white American. Pretty simple really.

What you think doesnt change anything for me. I call myself African American because my ancestors are from Africa. Like I said before, the day I let a white person define me is the day I give up leading my own life. If you dont like that find something else to get your feelings hurt over. I'm African American until I tell you otherwise.

I don't care what you call yourself, white peeps call American blacks simply a "black" person, I've never heard a white person call them African-American, except in a PC situation.
And like Rota says, a white person born in Africa is also an African-American?

You must care. You are trying your best and failing to try to convince me not to use it. Who did you think you were fooling?

No, I don't care what you call yourself, I'm just letting you know how dumb it is, plus, you don't even know why blacks are called A-A, it's not for anything to do with Africa, but just a PC way of saying black. You're not even from Africa, you're a negroid or black American, no hyphen.

If you didnt care you wouldnt bother to tell me how dumb it sounds. You would just live your life. Please clown. Try that on someone that doesnt know better. You were trying your best to convince me.

Oh c'mon, you give yourself way too much importance. This is a chat board, we're just chattin'. In fact I'm trying to help you not look so foolish by calling yourself something dumb, but go ahead, you're not from Africa, but who cares, you have no pride in America anyways. Like most blacks. Just look at Ferguson.

Sorry cave monkey. You give me way too much importance. I look like a Imhotep next to white trash such as you.

You look like a feral negro next to Bill Cosby.

There's no such thing as an Tanzanian American, that's just lazy grammar, they're properly called an American from Tanzania.

No, what's dumb is someone calling themselves a Tanzanian American. Or African-American.

Sorry stupid. I proved you never got an education. You said there was no such thing as a Tanzanian American. I bet you feel foolish as hell now.

You have reading comprehension problems, there's no such thing in my book, just like I think that it's wrong to call a black an African-American. Fuck are you feral negros stupid.

Yeah you must feel really angry you got busted being a retard.

The fundamental idea behind the hyphenation is the same as the fundamental idea behind racism: we are different, you and I.

You're the fucking feral retard, thinking I even give a shit what you think.

The fundamental idea behind racism is not that you are different but that between us you are an inferior form of human. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being different. Unless you have a twin you are different from everyone else anyway.

 

[Unkotare]

My position on the last 2 sentences is that this country is in a tailspin and can't recover...

If you really believe that why don't you leave now? Of course you don't really believe that, you are just being a little emo-bitch.

You're projecting your own insecurities and shortcomings again.

If you really believe it's hopeless, why don't you leave?




You're full of shit, you idiot.

Do hyphenated-Americans contribute to racism?
No.

Fear and ignorance – and the byproduct of fear and ignorance, hate – which manifest among racists contribute to racism.

 

[Unkotare]

People who immigrated here in previous years didn't forget or reject their heritage. It's one of the things that drove the Nativists crazy in the 1800s. They ranted and raved bitterly (and worse) against the ancestors of many of those ranting and raving about immigrants here and now.

Says the feral negro who's more proud of the color brown than he is about being an American.

To whom was that post directed?

 

[Rotagilla]

You can be an African American
Yet, the only "label" conservatives object to is .......African American

I will object to anyone who puts another country, race or religion before being an American,.
As the board's famous racist says
"I have more pride in being Black than being an American."

Good for you then. You should also object to anyone who has a t shirt. that says they are Texan and they are proud but doesn't mention they are also proud of being American
Same goes for announcing your religion without acknowledging you are a proud AMERICAN first

Texas is in america.

I never mentioned the word "hopeless"..you made that up out of thin air.
The country will collapse and it will be partitioned and there will be a period of reconstruction.
That's the natural progression of unsustainable and decaying governments.

Read a little history.

You're full of shit, you idiot.

I don't know anything about any race war and I can't predict the future.
Now hush negro..you're getting too uppity.

So what's going happen when the so called "reckoning" comes, "blanco"?

Or are you just another "keyboard warrior" who lives vicariously through old Rambo movies?

This is all I could find.

Unkotare

Japanese. Roughly translated as dripping poop. This word is used to describe a pornographic genre commonly known as Scat.

Your screen name means "dripping poop"?

Hmmm...good choice, actually.

Disingenuous douche

You must be really incensed you got caught not knowing how to lookup your blunder before you posted it.

The only group who aren't represented by hyphenated names are white-americans. We don't have a group like the naacp to agitate/intervene for us..We don't have a ADL to run to when our ethnicity is belittled or targeted for violence (like in negro "rap" "songs") or whatever they're called...
We don't have a "white' legislative caucus to warp and twist government to our advantage.
We don't have AA to award us jobs by govt mandate
Our govt has been infiltrated and turned fully against us.

A day of reckoning and backlash approaches, though. It's inevitable.

Being fair, I'm forced to agree with this post, except for the end.The arguements expressed are valid, even if the orign of them makes me wanna light my hair on fire.

Even his conclusion is supportable. The lubrication which greases the wheel of American multiculturalism is wealth transfer from whites to minorities. Right now Arab-Americans are fighting to have the government recognize them as a minority group which opens the wealth transfer spigot:

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), the largest grassroots civil rights organizations in the United States for Arab Americans, was expecting the U.S. Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) to make a final verdict on whether Arab American business people can be categorized as a minority on Wednesday, but the decision was postponed. . . .

If ADC’s petition passes through, more grants and funding will be funneled to the Arab American business community.

There will also be more contracts for the community that can be applied on the federal, local and state levels, Fay Beydoun, Executive Director of Arab American Chamber of Commerce, told Al Arabiya.

“It is a great move, we hope [the petition] goes through,” she said. “It will give more support to Arab Americans.”​

This balkanization is not sustainable. When this liberal experiment started American was 88% white and 12% black, so it was affordable for 7 whites to help uplift 1 black. It's utterly insane for 64% of whites to help uplift 36% of minorities, now down to 1.8:1 from 7.3:1.

Whites denied opportunity because government is putting its thumb on the scale to aid minorities is a problem right now and as it gets worse the intensity of reaction against this injustice will only increase.

If I have to refer to people as some kind of hyphenated-American then I wanna be hyphenated too. A hypen race

So let's see, I'm a Jewish-Caucasianal-Bisexual-Visually-Impaired-American.

I'll choose the label "Real-American" and everyone who hyphenates differently is a "Fake-American."

Great rebuttal.

Really demonstrates what a deep thinker you are.

EDIT:
I was wondering if you could answer the question I asked in post #94 about what your screen name meant...did I get it right?
