African Americans...
 

Why do I always hear that on the news and in the paper. They are Americans. Unless you came from Africa to America, you are not African Americans. Who agreees with me on this one?

I dont call myself a Jew American or Russian American just because my ancestors came from there a really long time ago.

How can your ancestors come from "Jew"?

I think it's what they prefer to be called

its to be "politically correct"

No. They prefer to be called "callards". Just like callard greens.

Maybe that was a bad example haha. I retract my jew comment :upsidedow

obviously yer not one of America's 'special' children then are you?

just don't call them late for dinner!!!

OK... change the geography and try White-Honkey-Euro-Americans.

Why do folks in the US seem to assume they are the only "Americans" on the American continent? Try "US citizen" instead.

Anyway... it's time ya changed the name of the USA. It's too awkward to call yourself a "United States Of American" instead of something like Nigerian, French, Mexican, Swedish, Canadian or whatever. A real identity can help a nation.

And try and get a new country name that's easy to spell correctly in real English or have the decency to invent your own language instead of abusing/corrupting others.

PS.. And stop taking about "aliens" invading ya from Mexico - they already have an identity. They are called Mexicans. OR "Mexican-Americans" if ya prefer. :)

I know a South African white girl. You should hear her point on this Afro-American bullshit?

So it's politically correct to say afro-american than american itself? :(

Have you ever tried to say "My buddy here is an African American"

Sounds pretty stupid.

No one I know says that or even uses the term. Much ado about nothing IMHO.

why is it considered bad to say negro ? is it not the same as calling a white guy european ?

dnt bother urself thingking with that matter....ur only human , nationality does not matter :thumbsup

I am New Yorican! :pimp

If African Americans want to be called that then so be it... it's their choice.
The jews or russians didn't go to America as slaves and were not forced to give up their name and language. Ever thought that might have something to do with it.

well labels will make the news more appealling thats why they call some things in a certain way.

why to even separate ppl between African Americans or White Americans or any other Pink or Blue Americans. Human is human, color is color, human rights are human rights and every race is treaten same way without any exceptions.

I agree... just like if I were born with white parents living in Africa, then moved to US I would be the White African American.

Black folks are Americans unless they came over on the boat. They wear american clothes smoke american made menthol cigarettes and fuck fat white american women.

Another common misconception is the infamous "N" word... like wtf. That word was obviously created for us to describe Nigerians. Of course that has gotten lost in the history of the word because of the spelling. There is a difference between Niger and hahahahahaha. hahahahahaha is an ignorant person, I am a hahahahahaha, a white fuckin' hahahahahaha... and if you are a Niger, then you are African American. If your parents came from Africa and had you here, I am sorry if you are full blooded African, you are still an American

The whole thing just drives me crazy, all the complaining etc. I just ignore them... that is why I am ignorant... that is why I am a hahahahahaha.

They classify themselves this way because because it gives them (and 'Latino Americans) a sense of entitlement for government giveaways based on the taxes received from Americans.

Political Correctness

The same reason we get planes run into towers. I mean lets face it, if we stopped every black guy & every arab guy at the terminal & did a good search. Chances are we'll never have the issue again. Why? Because blacks & arabs make up the majority of muslim extremist.

Now, by the same token, if i'm white & in a mostly black neighborhood (or high drug area), i may be pulled over & searched on suspicion of being a drug buyer. Which is completely legal. So long as i'm white.

It's all one big profiling country, we might as well get used to it, it has its good points & its bad points, but its going to keep happening, so we might as well get used to it.

Native American, Irish American, English American, German American

I thought they were now called "Afro-American"!

political corectness is bullshit.

blah blah blah who fucking cares we'll all hate each other til aliens invade earth or some shit...

For the same reasons we call GARBAGEMEN "Urban Waste Management Engineers" now ...

It allows them to feel important :winkwink:
