We Built it!

Then you proudly display your policitically "correct" ignorance by calling a daughter of Haitian immigrants an African American.

Is a black child of Alabaman parents (from African descent) an African-American? If so, then I don't know why a black child of Haitian parents (from African descent) wouldn't be considered African American, assuming she now lives in America.

Interesting fact: Haiti's African heritage is so prominent that "In 2012, Haiti announced its intention to seek associate membership status in the African Union". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiti

This. Some basic knowledge about Haiti's past would have helped immensely here.

In any event, when she complains about the literally hundreds of news outlets referring to her as african-american I'll take your mock outrage seriously.
 
They would have put all the people who lost their jobs under Obamanomics up there on stage, but they wouldn't fit.

It sure would be helpful if you could explain the specific Obama policies that have caused people to lose their jobs and how specifically they caused the people to lose their jobs.

But here's the kicker: You can't scurry off to some right wing blog or website to get 'information', or any other source, for that matter. You seem to possess specialized knowledge about the link between Obama's economic policies and job loss. Please share it with us.
 
Sad that libtards defend a lyncher of blacks-trying-to-vote-Republican.

You are aware that black Haitians are descendants of African slaves, right?

This is something that bothers me. African-American, Mexican American, Japanese-American...hogwash.

To my mind the only way you could logically claim soemthing like that is if you actually have citizenship in both countries (I could see an arguement for being a citizen of one but born in the other). So that would do away with African-American all together. It would be more along the lines of Kenyan-American or Ghanan-American.

Nothing wrong with being from another country. Nothing. Be proud of your family history and where you roots comes from but guess what. If you, your parents, your grandparents... were born here you are American. Sorry to break the news to you.
 
So the politically "correct" rule is that anyone who looks black is African American no matter their country of origin.

What bizarre nonsense.

I guess I'm European American.

Kirilenko is Asian American.

Liberals are Jackass Americans no matter what continent they originated from.

Why the hell can't we just be Americans?

I once put on a form that I was Wasatch American...
 
Lets get back to our fundamentalist roots.

If you build it, they will come.

I have an Italian import uncle who just barely got his citizenship because for years we required him to denounce his Italian citizenship before becoming "American" & he refused. He is an Italian American & his children all consider themselves American.


Also, Spain killed all the Haitians, as usual. I can't figure out why that Spanish era isn't looked at like Hitler Germany, WWII Japan, or Napoleon. Oh yeah, Saint Columbus I almost forgot.

This is America. Everything before 1776 didn't happen.

The same way the United States will be looked at for presidents having a kill list, and declaring martial law on it's citizens after natural disasters.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to franklin again.

Probably, because if we Americans squawked on that one, someone would mention some native American tribes that have vanished, too. Germany's "Ultimate Solution" resembles "Manifest Destiny" and the methods Americans resorted to in order to get the inconvenient natives cleared out of the way of "progress".

It's true that many Indian tribes, with trading links to the British international trading cartels, did fight on the side of the British in the American Revolution, and our Colonists had to fight literally everywhere. The Cherokees are one example of this, and it has been estimated that the Colonists nearly wiped out the Cherokee nation, and the survivors had to start from scratch, with their homes and farms burned out. But by about 1830 they had converted to Christianity in large measure, and had their own Constitution modeled after the United States, and wanted to be a "State". They had rebuilt their homes and farms, and in many respects had adopted the manners and economics of "Americans". But the discovery of gold in their region created a mad wave of legislation and corruption that overturned every decent thing Americans fancy they deserve respect for, and the Cherokees were forced out, in large measure. Today there is still a small area in North Carolina that is a Cherokee community, but most went down the "Trail of Tears", where most died en route. The land they were promised by Treaty was later taken away, again, in large part.

The solemn truth is, nobody has any rights that a crazed mob will not strip from you, while calling it "democracy" or "justice" somehow. Even in America.

At least they get free money, right?

yeah, but I don't think our putting them on government welfare/tribal socialism is "justice" either. Just give me a good pony, the whole plains and millions of buffalo, and let me ride. That's what freedom was.

I guess Obama would argue that the Plains hunters didn't build that themselves, either. The Spanish lost some horses. . . . .and a whole new culture was born. . . . until our government built the railroads, and gave whitefolks rifles and ammo, and free rides on the trains, just to shoot buffalo from atop the railcars for the specific purpose of destroying the plains indian "economy" and force them onto reservations where they could be properly and humanely starved.
