Then why haven't there been stories about white African Americans?
Do they not exist?
Nope. They do not exist.

Africans were feeding themselves long before there was a Rhodesia. There are no accounts of Europeans coming to Africa and finding hungry people.
From Thomas Paine, who got testimonials from slave traders themselves:
Quote:
The Managers the Trade themselves, and others testify, that many of these African nations inhabit fertile countries, are industrious farmers, enjoy plenty, and lived quietly, averse to war, before the Europeans debauched them with liquors, and bribing them against one another; and that these inoffensive people are brought into slavery, by stealing them, tempting Kings to sell subjects, which they can have no right to do, and hiring one tribe to war against another, in order to catch prisoners. By such wicked and inhuman ways the English are said to enslave towards one hundred thousand yearly; of which thirty thousand are supposed to die by barbarous treatment in the first year; besides all that are slain in the unnatural ways excited to take them. So much innocent blood have the managers and supporters of this inhuman trade to answer for to the common Lord of all.

But all African Americans are black.

They are Arab Americans...not African Americans (if they aren't black).
Only blacks are members of this club.

Out of curiosity-what may we refer to Barack Obama as, with regard to this topic. He is NOT "African-American" if that term is applied to descendants of those brought here as slaves. "Black" is not so politically correct these days. "Heavily pigmented-American" perhaps? Would that pass muster?

Refer to him as he refers to himself. He already told you what he is.
Its stupid as can be. If your black your black. If your black and born in America your American. For gods sake Charleze Thoran is African American. She was born in South Africa. Its just stupid. Until blacks quit trying to not be American they will never be part of what they say they don't feel part of. Its the black community that separates itself from society and then points the finger at society and says they are not welcome.
Charlize Theron IS NOT and CAN NOT be an African American.
As far as not being welcomed, why do think that your welcome is so important to us?
We're fine right where we are...but thanks. Keep your welcome...and your acceptance.
