They are as American as you or me FRiend
I totally agree. Most Black soldiers in my Troop in Vietnam were spectacular. 85% of my career NCOs were Black and the best soldiers I ever had.
The problem is, the current generations of Americans of the Negro race, or even some only 20% Negro, place their Blackness before their Americanism.
Who in 2015 calls themselves an English-American, a French-American, a German-American, a Japanese-American, a Croatian-American, a Brazilian-American, an Estonian-American, etc?
But ask 95% of the Negro or part Negro American citizens under 45 to describe him or herself, and they call themselves African-Americans. They choose to do this and separate themselves from other American citizens although 99% have never set foot on the continent of Africa, nor did their parents, grandparents, or even great grandparents.
It is a false separateness they have created, not other Americans.
Let’s cut to the core of this. This A-A identification is done to get one thing, free benefits/money. Thank you Jessie and Al.
