Im irish and you dont see me demanding to be called an irish or european american, nope. im just an american plain and simple. It seems to me in these days in times blacks as a general rule complain about equality, fairness and unity but also want to distance themselves from the general population by stating they are "african american". I for one have never used the term unless speaking about someone who was born and lived in africa then moved to the US and I wont use it unless its such a circumstance. Fuck political correctness. /rant
nice! kind of off-topic but i love when people act like black people from africa were the only race to ever be enslaved. the irish, the jews, for fucks sake just about every race has at one point or another been enslaved by someone else, the only difference is they quit bitching about it 100+ years ago. quit usuing slavery as a crutch.
