You gotta ask the Black leadership for the phrase of the day as to what they want to be called that is not offensive.
As for me, there is no such thing an African American, Italian American Japanese American etc..............If you are a US citizen you are an American.............It is the minorities that are looking for a separate identity. To the rest of us we are indistinguishable as Americans.
*Translation*
Minorities are the retards that started this mess of labeling therefore they need to stop it from happening i have no part in it outside the fact that the majority make up the gov and they pick the labels that goes on the census...doy.
Once again those minorities are causing the problems not me, not I. Rest of us kick yo ass.
LIKE I said: taken from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Am … f_the_term"With the political consciousness that emerged from the political and social ferment of the late 1960s and early 1970s, Negro fell into disfavor among many blacks. It had taken on a moderate, accommodationist, even Uncle Tomish, connotation. In this period, a growing number of blacks in the U.S., particularly African American youth, celebrated their blackness and their historical and cultural ties with the African continent. The Black Power movement defiantly embraced Black as a group identifier—a term they themselves had repudiated only two decades earlier—a term often associated in English with things negative and undesirable, proclaiming, "Black is beautiful".
In this same period, a smaller number favored Afro-American. In the 1980s the term African American was coined on the model of, for example, German American. It was largely popularized by Jesse Jackson, and quickly adopted by major newspapers. Many blacks in America expressed a preference for the term as it was formed in the same way as the names for other ethnic groups."
God, being right all the time gets boring.
