Congratulations to the young lady! But how I detest divisive terms like “African American!” Maybe we should all run around distinguishing ourselves by our heritage, in which case I’d be an English-Irish-Scots-Welsh-German-Cherokee American instead of simply an American.
The multiculturalists have worked hard over the past 30 or so years to turn Americans against each other. They have nearly succeeded in reversing the meaning of e pluribus unum (from the many, one). And we all know the age-old military maxim: Divide and conquer.
Does this mean she is 1/2 American because the other 1/2 is African?
Bingo your #7.
Standing O for the pilot, but only after we carve out the hate whitey tone of the article.
What happened to our “melting pot”? (rhetorical question /)
“But how I detest divisive terms like “African American
Do you remember the following story?...Every time I think about it I laugh myself sick again and again.
Several years ago a man from Africa came to the U.S. and became a U.S. citizen.
He referred to himself as an African-American, which I hope he still does.
Many blacks got on him like white on rice.
Why? Because he was white and not black. Apparently that term is reserved only for blacks, and no one else has the authority to use it.
