I'm African American. So some wondered whether I sensed any chill or hostility.

Where do the liberals GET this stuff? So what if he's African American? What the hell does that have to do with anything???

” So what if he’s African American?”

What?

He was born in Africa, came here and got his citizenship?

“African” is not a race.

It’s a continent.

I’ve argued, good naturedly, with black friends of mine about “African American.” I’m more African then they are. They’ve been born and raised in this country for generations and I’m first generation Polish. They have deeper roots in this country then I ever will. We’re AMERICANS. But of course the people I am friends with don’t have the liberal chip on their shoulders so they get the joke.

If you REALLY want to see their heads explode introduce them to a true African American who came here from Africa who happens to be a white naturalized citizen. Brain matter was all over the halls of one college back in the 90s when a white African ran for president of the African American student club. Whites, white Africans, Black Carribeans, or Black Africans need not apply to membership in that inclusive club.

My experience in restaurants in Beverly Hills has usually been pretty good. Sure they expect a certain dress code in the upscale restaurants, as any restaurant will. I think this author is just picking a scab to try to paint everyone, including the Beverly Hills restaurant staff, and especially the Duck Dynasty family, as a bunch of judgemental jerks when neither is the case.
