"It IS about skin color."

Not really. Are blacks born & raised in Europe; European or African?

If they move to America, they are "African Americans."

It IS about skin color, no matter what they attempt to say.

The US Census dealth with this issue already.

It isn't all about color. It is more about culture. Knowing as many white Africans as I do, they consider themselves to be more African, than the most afrocentric black American. My mother who is a West Indian creole woman is as European as Queen Elizabeth. My father who was born in Italy but came here as a little boy was more UN PC American than Archie Bunker with not much traditional Italian culture. I was born here but 'American' wouldn't be my culture, it'd be more along the lines of Rudyard Kipling so in the end all this color talk is really CRAP.
