What’s an “African-American?” Many of these people don’t have any connection to the natives of Africa. Hell, many don’t know the FIRST THING about Africa. Would a white South African coming to America be known as an “African-American” too?

the whole “African-American” fiasco is just that a FIASCO.

I have known precisely ONE actual African American....Originally.from Nigeria. He didnt refer to himself as an African-American

the headline reads in part....”Black Scholar on CNN “

so whats wrong with that “designation”???

Teresa Heinz-Kerry says YES!

It’s what I put on my application and resubmit after I am turned down for a position with that company.

More than once I have gone in for an interview and the HR person looks oddly at me. I know what she is thinking and she cannot ask it. Funniest thing to do.

I know an emigre thus who got a full ride scholarship his senior year of college, after getting his American citizenship his junior year.

Apparently the black admin in the financial aid office was not amused when he asked for an AA scholarship form.
