Sowell is especially on the money to cite that the average black person in america has roots in this country that go back longer than the average white person. Now, as for myself my roots are early american, in that more than half of my ancestors were here during the revolution and all of them were here before the civil war. I'm american in my ethnic background, I'm not hyphenated like some others.
Black americans should just like me be happy that their roots are very deep in america. This african american stuff is a downgrade IMHO.
