Very humorous. Naturally any white African who moves to America is an African American.

I always thought the 1st african in space was a chimpanzee.

Very good! And correct. The chimpanzee "Ham," launched into space in January 1961 as part of the Mercury-Redstone 2 test flight, had been born in Cameroon.

Not gonna even read it just state my opinion...........it's high time we became one race one people not this crap of who's got more of one shade or another......

If this had happened 30 years ago we'd be on mars and expanding in leaps and bounds above where we are now.......this sniping is useless.

When I worked at CNN, I knew a woman who was from South Africa. We discussed this very thing, and much to her surprise, I said that I DID consider an African American.

Huh?

Yes, African American. The next question she asked, was, "And you?"

"Me? I'm black. I'm American. I've never been to Africa. I was born in Indiana."

"I thought that they were proud of their 'Afronaut'."

Sure, Mandella said he was proud of him.

A re-reading of my post will put your mind at ease. I was taking a shot only at this country's black "leadership."

Black Americans, many of whom are long-time and valued friends, colleagues, and "co-religionists," surely deserve better than the likes of Hijackson and Sharptongue to represent their interests -- assuming that they need anyone to do so in the first place.....

But I thought they sent a monkey up before John, Buzz and those guys?

Let's not forget that the most beautiful African-American is Charleze Theron.

Shame on you for not posting pictures! It's an unwritten rule that if you mention beautiful women, you gotta post some pics. :)

They didn't say anything when we used monkeys. Aren't monkeys from Africa too?

[Clemenza]

Don't know how to post pics, although I'm sure others on this site would oblige.

Since this is space tourism, anyone with the money can go. Maybe they should be mad at Jesse Jackass for not putting up the money.
