I am a native American. I was born in the United States.

All of the Africans, real African born on that continent, I have met say most "African-Americans" are lazy and arrogant...Hey I'm not trying to start anything here but...thats what they've said.

Also my neighbour, who was a marine was in somalia, and the Somalis would call his fellow black marines "Toby Jackson's"

????

Oh well flame away if you must...

My favorite African-American.

Now come on folks. You've got to know that what Mrs. Heinz really means is that she's A Frickin' American...not an African American. It's all in the accentuation.

" A spokeswoman for the Heinz Foundation said the prospective first lady would give more if she were more confident the money would be managed properly."

You just can't trust those black Africans to use your money properly, can you Teresa baby? Since you are African American, How shocked should we be when your hubby campaigns in the south as John the Baptist?

As a Pittsburgh resident, I remember all the controversy she caused in the '90's when she claimed she was "African American". She wanted to gain political advantage by making the claim. I can't remember the details, but it didn't help her, and she was slammed good on her claim.

Do we owe her reparations?

I could imagine what they would say if it was Trent Lott or any other Republican who said this. This is an overtly racist assumption here.

She is, in fact, African-American.

"African-hyphen-American belongs to blacks," Heinz Kerry's spokesman told reporters, insisting that it was proper for his boss to call herself African American as long as no hyphen was used or intended.

This quote perfectly illustrates the navel-contemplating totalitarianism of political correctness.

I'm a Native American.

Next thing she's gonna tell us her name isn't Mrs Ketchup but Mrs Catsup!
