[when the time is right]

I think the problem begins with the words “African American” It implies that the person is African first and American second and forces everyone to decide if they think blacks are Africans who happen to be Americans or Americans who happen to be ancestors of Africans.

Now just think what would happen if everyone started calling blacks “American Africans”. It would suddenly change the whole picture.

When I was in the Navy Reserves, we had a lieutenant who was the prettiest little thing... she used to snap “I ain’t African-American. I’m BLACK. And I’m not from Africa. I’m from Georgia. I don’t even want to SEE Africa.” She was funny.

I've flipped it. You can call me an American black man.

But American is really all that is needed.

25 years ago, we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope.
Today we have Obama, no cash, and no hope!

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings.

How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).

Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!
