I always thought that was retarded. African American? How many black people (and yes, I really dont care if that's the politically correct term of the moment or not, since it seems as though it's constantly changing) are actually from Africa? Or can even trace their roots back to Africa? Seems to me there are a lot of black people originally from the Carribean. I don't get pissed when people call me white, and try and tell them that I'm an Irish/Danish/Portuguese/Mutt American. Who really cares? And if that somehow makes me a racist I say fuck you. It seems nowadays as though more black people are racist that us white oppressors. Oh, and my cousin just got married to a nice woman in georgia who happens to be black, and she's one of the nicest people you could ever meet. But her step father on the otherhand, comes to the wedding wearing traditional african clothing, those robes and the funny hat, I really dont know what they are called. But anyways, he wouldnt even talk to the grooms side of the family. I even tried approaching him nicely and he just walked away. wtf?
