ABCâs âThe Viewâ co-host Whoopi Goldberg has joined fellow âViewâ co-host Raven-Symoné in rejecting the extremely racist term âAfrican-Americanâ.
âYou know what uh uh! This is my country,â Goldberg said. âMy mother, my grandmother, my great-grand folks, we busted ass to be here. Iâm sorry. Iâm an American. Iâm not an African-American, Iâm not a chick American, Iâm an American!â

I understand they've both been criticized for "leaving the plantation" and rejecting the liberals' label for them.

It wasn’t my idea to label them African-American in the first place, back in the mid-eighties. When I am reading, I sub-vocalize African-American as the more convenient two-syllable term, anyway.

Funny for at least 30 yrs I have objected to that term-
I dislike the idea of hyphenated americans

After living in East Germany she is excited to see that America may elect a socialist president. The future looks rosy to her now.

We cant let libtards comtrol the language. They force everyone else to use it and then eat each other when they declare the terms they demanded everyone else use, no longrr acceptable.
We just have to ignore their insanity and speak the wy we want to, like normal people do.

Funny—where was she 30 years ago when the likes of Jesse Jackson were insisting everyone use that label?

Well, she’s a jerk. But I kind of enjoyed her in that movie that used “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” as it’s theme. What was that movie?

That is probably the only half-way smart thing she has said in 30 years or so.
She's still a smelly, loud-mouthed, racist, limousine liberal that's full of...stuff.
But, as someone else said...the label of African-American didn't come from us white folks.
They started that crap themselves.
