Good friend of mine used to call himself that...
Then one day we were chatting on a plane, and I posed the following scenario to him:
If I were born in say, Johannesburg Africa, that would make me an African.
He Agreed.
Now, if I were to come to the States, get naturalized, that'd make me an American.
He agreed.
Now, if I were to keep my African citizenship along with my new American citizenship, would that make me an African American?
He now calls himself Black.
African American, LMFAO. I've honestly known 5 people that were african american. Their like mexicans and ricans, If you don't now how that story goes don't reply. So that would make me european american, or maybe polish american, hmm. My family came over when germany sent the jews to the cotton fields. I think it was cotton fields, I can't remember, but I know they didn't have it as hard as the blacks did.
When I served my country I had more black friends then white. Being atry meant spending weeks on end playing spades in a M109A. You know what we all talked about? The same :q:q:q:q me and my friends talk about now. God, family, kids, cars, girls, money, and fire missions. Everytime the new guy would start some race :q:q:q:q, they told him to shut the :q:q:q:q up no one want to hear it.
Yes i've came across some lazy, ignorant, racsit people in detroit, but no more then I have seen in mississippi. That racist street works both ways. And both of the extreme groups make me sick. I really don't care what color someones is, your either a person I will talk to, or someone I won't.
And like other people had said, thire's more good people then bad people, to bad the media won't show good poeple on the news at 6.
