this is so stupid.
I went to college and was friends with many african students who laughed out loud at the black-only african-american designation. there are remnants of french, dutch, portughese, native, arab, and countless other ethnicities in Africa, and if any of those people move to the US and become citizens, they are therefore African-american.
DONT LABEL ME!!! Wait, That Label is FOR US ONLY!! How stupid.
actually, they are all only AMERICAN. I'm a scotch-irish-czech-brit-pennsyltuckian-American. but I settle for being called American.
if the descendents of slaves wish for a designation for them alone, I'd suggest they deserve it.. but that it should be unique to their group alone. Not exclusive of others who deserve the designation like countless non-black non-slave-descendant African-Americans.
picking on a woman who speaks her mind and doesn't clear everything through the spin squad first is stupid too. She's closer to what we need in a politician than most of the rest of them if for this reason alone.
