[Verginius Rufus]

Africa originally just meant the area around Carthage in what is now Tunisia. So maybe "African-American" should be restricted to immigrants from Tunisia and their descendants.

I think Jesse Jackson was the one who demanded we use the expression "African American" back in the 1970s. I guess by now he has passed the torch of Conscience of the United States to Al Sharpton. So someone needs to ask Rev. Al what term we honkies are supposed to use.

Back in the late 60’s “Afro-American” was in vogue.........................
