I heard a news story where they referred to him as “African American”. He WAS NOT American! They are already massaging the language to make hay.

According to Our Glorious Leader anyone who makes it across the border is an American.

That’s just the Left’s word for “Negro”.

I saw this black Canadian hockey player interviewed on tv once and the guy kept asking him things like: how does it feel to be an African-American hockey player, etc. And the poor interviewee kept saying: I’m a CANADIAN!

I remember hearing a news chick refer to a black man from South Africa as “A South African African-American.”

They’ve been saying this crap since thus murderer showed up.

Had to inform a couple friends he was not an American.

Somehow that made me a rascist.

Told em to pound sand, google this murderer and get back to me when you armed with facts.

Luv the childish banter and demonstration of rock hard stupidity....

I would not read too much in to this.

The leftists in the news media have been practicing political correctness for so long that most of them know of no other term by which to refer to a black person EXCEPT “African American”.

A couple of summer olympics ago I sat and laughed as some poor TV “sports” guy referred to a black gymnast from France as “African-American” no fewer than three times during her performance. Apart from racism, I cannot think a good reason why he needed to refer to her by her skin color instead of her nationality, but it WAS funny (to me).
