What do you mean by African American? Urban black culture or something else?

I'm guessing he means they are more both American, i.e. assimilated into mainstream culture and yet more African, actually having been born and lived in Africa.

That is why heavily promoting the term "European American" for all people of European descent. And the term "Mixed American" for those who don't what they are.

I disagree with that. We should not be separating ourselves into groups by racial class, that is degression. I believe we should accept that race is nothing more than a social construct and work to get rid of all discrimination in that respect. If we get rid of the idea of race, we will also rid ourselves of racism as well.

I would rather label everyone in the United States as "American" but at this moment I believe that would be just sweeping the dirt under the carpet and not actually cleaning it up.

I have an answer, because he's black. If you saw him on the street don't tell me you would think that he's white.

/skips whole thread

BECAUSE: if you had to point him out in a crowd, you'd say "The black guy over there."

Who gives a shit what color he is? Either you agree with his ideas, his politics and/or his vision or you don't. Get the fuck over his color people - Geez what friggin century are we living in.

you would, maybe, not me.

I'd be more likely to say the tall guy with the funny ears.

Since you mentioned it - DAMN He's got big ears!

I'm responding to the thread topic. Nobody would say "The tall white guy over there."

I wouldn't. Nope, nuh uh, not me. I'd point and say "that's the motherfucker! No not that one, the one next to him talking about 'change' every damn day."

Since you mentioned it - Any truth to the rumor that he used to be employed as a radar dish on Guam?

lol! I heard that too.

In Texas, yes, but in Philadelphia...not so much.

Maybe you should read the thread next time. That's what I just said...almost verbatum.
