>>>>Are you an American first and foremost, or an African-American first and foremost?<<<<

I hate the term “African-American”. Unless you were born in Africa and later became an American, you are NOT “African-American”!!

LOL...I me to. I was sitting in my graduate class and one of the students was called upon to answer a question concering crime and he mentioned "blacks". The professor interuptted him and said, "We prefer the term African-American so no one is offended".

The student said, "I won't have any of that political correct crap. I was born in South Africa, hold dual passports. I am African-American, and until "blacks" in America show me an African passport, they are black, and I am white"......

Guess what....the subject never came up again the entire semester, and he was top student in class! Heck even the blacks nodded.

hate the term too,.
African Americans can be white and using that term to point to blacks is pure stupidity and ignorance .

My pals from Africa who became American are white and are pissed off with it too. One of them told a black woman that he was from Africa and she said you can’t be you’re white.

Still the left have never be known to be that bright anyway.
