^^^^

WTF is that?

*On a serious note, I hate the term African American, but this doesn't seem like the beginning of a serious thread *

 

[JBeukema]

That is an American woman born in Africa- an African-American?

Wrong kind

That is an American woman born in Africa- an African-American?

Yup. What is a European? An Irishman? German? Scot? Frenchman? Or possibly even a black woman born in England. Oh gasp...

Well... why do blacks born here in USA call themselves African Americans?

Probably because the continent of Africa is comprised mostly of black people and their lineage can be traced there? Just a guess.

Everyone's lineage can be traced of Africa.

Why aren't they Detroit Americans- most of the people who live there are black, too.

I hope the author of this thread is not trying to make a joke. This is of course the politically correct way to reffer to black people born in America.

Badunka dunk!

A better question, Buttemia, is why do you spend so much time trying to make black people feel badly about themselves?

 

[Tank]

Wouldn't be better to be American Africans, shouldn't America come first?

Why do they have to be born here? What if they immigrate? What if they immigrate from England?

I didn't say they "had" to be born here.

Please stop pointing out the fallacies of political correctness. Sudden jolts of reality can cause serious reactions in the true believers. The truth will set them free and they won't know what to do with themselves.

You can be truthful and politically correct at the same time.

Yes you did.
