Look it up.<br /><br />I do not now nor have I ever identified myself as African American. Perhaps because I have never paid much attention to Jesse and the others self-appointed "black leaders" looking for face time on the teevee. <br /><br />I am black, period.<br /><br />I suggest that those of you blovating over what to call yourself on the censue find something else to worry about. Like the fact that many black kids are dropping out of school and those who manage to stay in school are reading five grade levels below or can't read at all, can't speak standard english and are like to end up in prison for knocking some senior citizen in the head.Sammynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-66159817320990918202010-01-10T16:10:20.336-05:002010-01-10T16:10:20.336-05:00"I swear every time I look around you Negr..b...<i>"I swear every time I look around you Negr..blacks are complaining about something.

How we became African Americans (after we were black (and proud):<br /><br />Jesse Jackson called about 200 (alleged) black leaders to the Super Dome in New Orleans, LA. sometime during the late 1960's or the early 1970's (the conclusion of the MLK JR. assaniation)...to discuss important issues facing (then black) minorites (yeah that's one of our names too).<br /><br />Why the Dome you ask...? Because they could get it and white people paid for it (keep an eye on the usual suspects kinda thing).<br /><br />So Rev. Jackson said to the alleged (known then as black) leaders: We will no longer be known as black...we are going to be known as African Americans. (not a quote)<br />So...the press picked it up and said that blacks do not want to be known as black... but as African Americans. The press picked it up and said the overwhelming number of blacks made the decision to be described as African Americans (remember 200 showed up).<br /><br />So that's a bit of African American, black, minority, negro, and negroE (and n*gger, n*gga, coons, jigaboos, and of couse house negro and field negro) bit of history for your blog. <br /><br />Have happy thoughts.<br />Peace.<br />~agape2010~agape2010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-42919936277047014722010-01-08T20:28:35.324-05:002010-01-08T20:28:35.324-05:00Most people brought as slaves to the new world wer...Most people brought as slaves to the new world were purchased from the slave barracoons in the slave ports in the Bight of Benin.
