Then he's going to a ball with Cinderella. You know those black Atheletes like pink toes.

Also I do agree that some "white people" like to lump all black people as "African Americans". I have seen it done to describe non-US Blacks living in other places of the world (wtf). <br /><br />Personally, I'm a lost African born as an American. So sometimes I prefer "African Caribbean American" or "Black American", and only because there are white people now "migrating" out of Africa to America claiming to be "African Americans" (rolling eyes). But I still don't see anything wrong with the the hyphenated terms. White people living in America also get lumped as "white Americans", no one complains. <br /><br />As for Harrison , I wouldn't mind taking the idiot's place.La♥audiobookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113372034561824170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-47541405778387464332009-05-18T23:40:50.051-04:002009-05-18T23:40:50.051-04:00I have to say that "people of color" took time for...I have to say that "people of color" took time for me to get used to, given that "colored people" was hopeless lame and carried the connotation of racism when I was a kid.<br /><br />"Jamericans?"

If they were not champs, Obama wouldn't give two-shits about the Steelers.<br /><br />But then again, that's the whole point of the invite-- acknowledgement of the feat of winning the Superbowl.

There were times when I was the only european for miles around because I often lived with the Africans as an african.<br /><br />I think the words are right but are in the wrong order, that "American African" would be more accurate. "American" lays claim to the birthright of a citizen and the equality promised to all. "African" acknowledges the cultural heritage of Africa that still lives on, despite the dedicated efforts of unrepentant racists.<br /><br />Ultimately, I don't really like group labels because they are almost always used as shorthand for "You People" and distracts from the fact that there is only one race (human).<br /><br />Regards.Gregorynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-21631662071469536182009-05-18T17:03:00.000-04:002009-05-18T17:03:00.000-04:00And Jewish people always call themselves Jews, not...<I>And Jewish people always call themselves Jews, not Jewish Americans.

There are zillions of orgs and leagues that are ethnological.<br /><br />If a white peep asks another white peep, what are you? They usually say their heritage name, as in "I'm Irish", not Irish American. <br /><br />And Jewish people always call themselves Jews, not Jewish Americans. It's a race and a religion, except if your pa is Jewish (which was mine), then you're just white.<br /><br />Since so many black immigrants have come to this country in recent history, do we now call them "African Americans" even if they don't come from Africa? That's like saying all Latinos are Hispanic.<br /><br />Hey Alicia B!<br />But, I like the classy approach of a woman like Michelle. She stays out of the fray and maintains her cool. Even Rebubbas can't smack her down because she doesn't give 'em a chance.<br /><br />Besides, wouldn't you rather see a world figure like Hillary doing what she does best?
