I'm African-American. I know where my Roots are.
I would appreciate it if some of you morons would get it right. I'm American...if I was from Africa I would be an African American...I'm black not African American...get it straight...I have nothing to do with Africa...if you're ancestry / descent is from Spain you don't call yourself Spanish American do you...or do you call yourself Italian American or Caucasian American..or Chinese American...stop picking on the black man...
When Mexicans are the new majority I want to see white people calling themselves White Americans instead of just Americans...
I'm a black guy first...who happens to be American. I have nothing to do with Africa...![]()
Now, you can either respond to another re ed Koolaid_Man thread, or have what's in this box.

I hate labels...except HUMAN BEING.
Wrong. African Americans are people who are Americans who have at least partial ancestry from Africa. Go back to school.
There's the problem with labels. Not everyone agrees with how other label them. Why can we just treat each other like Americans and be colorblind?
LOL what an idiot. "Don't lable me African-American! I am an American!" then "When Mexicans are the new majority..."
Yeah because I can't be an "American" I have to be a "Mexican". My family isn't even from that part of Mexico. My family goes back generation after generation here in south Texas. If anything you can just call me a Texan.
um...."American" is also a label...
How lame.
First off, I know a lot of Italians who consider themselves Italian Americans. I also know some Chinese people who consider themselves Chinese American as well. I have never seen nor heard an African immigrant consider themselves African American. Why would they?
Second off, No one will ever consider themselves White American or Caucasian American because "White" and "Caucasian" are not countries or continents of origin. So, you mean to tell me you never heard a white person desribe themselves as "Italian" or "Greek".
I am African American, because my ancestors did not migrate to America. They were brought here. Considering myself "African American" links me to the place my ancestors were taken from. If you choose not to be linked to Africa that is perfectly cool. I have no beef with that, but consider the reasoning many American blacks do choose to link themselves to Africa.
You misspelled describe
African is not a country or continent of origin either...but Africa is....
Africans don't even like Black Americans...they're jealous of us...they hate us and consider us unauthentically black. But I don't want to paint with such a broad brush...I'm black not African. Now do I wish I was darker yes...but I'm happy with my entrance into the world.
technically I'm a mix between honey, caramel, and white chocolate macadamia...
