WHEN are we going to stop with the "african american" nonsense? None of these people were born in africa and I'm sure the ones born within the last 20 years have no damn clue where africa is nor can they find it on a map. No other race uses the "hyphenated" american. When was the last time you heard "a german-american, 5'9" tall wearing a yellow shirt" - "an irish-american murdered his wife", etc etc etc. All other races are referred to as either "a white male" "an hispanic woman" - what happened to "a black male"? I'm sick of this hyphenated crap!
You have to be liberal to understand all this hyphenated stuff.
When Gov. McGreevey of NJ was outed as homosexual and resigned amid a homosexual sexual scandal, the Human Rights Campaign told him to say that he was a gay American. As if that made it all better.
