Then why haven't there been stories about white African Americans?

Do they not exist?

They did until Rhodesia became Zimbabwe and now the country that used to feed Africa has currency that is worthless and starving.

"African American" is a culture...not a race. Not all blacks are African American.

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.

They are Arab Americans...not African Americans (if they aren't black).

Only blacks are members of this club.

Really? I haven't heard about any big famines in Zimbabwe.

Black Zimbabweans were eating just fine before whites got there. They'll figure it out.

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.

Why is that so hard?

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.
