The liberals that started the term African American as meaning black people that were born in America..
The liberals that want to keep black people as a subculture and not consider them full americans.
I'm a bit curious here. A while back, I was chased all over this forum by a young lady who referred to herself as "African American" because I typed the word "black" in a discussion. She was absolutely rabid and accused me of being an ignorant racist for not using the term African American. Well hell. I'm perfectly willing to call people whatever they want to call themselves and didn't mean to offend, but she kept on and on.
This is funny... I see very few conservatives on here.. typically it is the racist, bigoted left-wing people on here shouting at the conservatives, and calling them names, and spreading lies.

the term African American was encouraged by jessie jackson to be used by many black americans in and around 1988. Some black people do prefer to use that term. If that is what they prefer, than all the more power to them. We don't like the term African American being used, because we feel it is just another way to keep black people separate from whites. We feel it is a way to say, hey black people, yes we will admit you are an american, but only hyphenated.
As I tell people, my children who are still in elementary school will tell tell people that call them african american... that they are not african in any way, they have never been to africa, they never plan on going to africa, and they were born in america.
No, I'm saying something much more fundamental: Almost every assertion you have made on this thread has been a lie.
you claim it is a lie, but you cant seem to provide proof.. but, that is ok.. I am used to the libby whites making claims and not being able to back it up.
yes I do.. I freely admit, that from my personal experiences I have came to stereotype the Dems as racists and bigots. If one day they prove me wrong, than so be it, but until than, I will continue with my beliefs.
