Since I don’t even believe in the accepted concept of “race”, there’s no way I can be a “racIST”.
I am, however, an avowed “culturist”.
Hmmm...I’d expected significantly more than that - more than double that.....
What’s an “African American”?
I know that Obama is an African,
and Herman Cain is an American...
but what is this “African American” thing?
I enjoyed the Chris Rock routine where he says who’s more “racist”? BLACK people, because they hate EVERYONE! Totally true. They hate whites, asians, hispanics, and especially gays.
I agree, I would have expected 83, instead of 43.
It was “the Reverend” Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr., who coined the term “African American” because he fell out of favor with the word “black.” I wonder if he uses black ink? Pretty soon, whites embraced “the Reverend’s” new terminology.
I think there are two factors involve in the change to “African American”. One is the Muslim tenet of supremacy - let’s make them refer to us in a way other than what they’ve been referring to us as. Reaston two is the same reason that progressives became liberals became progressives became no labels.
