Obama and the NAACP

LMAO @ "Muslim-Americans"..."African-Americans"...dumb****s who think that way. You are either American or you are not. I guess I should go around calling myself "German-American" huh?

This is also why many consider America to be one of the most absurd, let alone ignorant, countries on Earth. Do you even realize that America is one of the ONLY places on Earth with a cultural melting-pot. IMHO, calling yourself only "American" is just one of those f*cked up things American's do to promote your own sense of nationalism.

I guess being called an "african-american" is just plain stupid by your standards hey? LOL. Because obviously you just somehow LOSE your other cultural background once you become an all-mighty American.

you're ridiculous.

I think its funny that we even use the word races to describe people. There's only one race, the human race. You wouldn't call a black cow and a white cow a different race would you? They all look the same in the meat locker and all taste the same on a hamburger. Theres different groups of people with different features and different cultures.

I also think its funny that any people that want to be treated equally, do everything differently. If you wear your cap tilted, pants half way down your ass, speak broken english, wear oversized cloths, you WILL be treated differently by people because everything you're doing is against the social norm.

The point is when you enter another society you assimilate to it. You became part of the society as a whole. By labeling someone that has been here for 200 years just to preserve their cultural background is ridiculous. Culture is an ever evolving entity, American Culture is just that uniquely American. Our Culture is also the strongest in the world, everyone emulates us even you Canadians. Our culture norms and values change rapidly which certainly reflects our diversity. We are no were near the same Culture that we were 200 years go.

It's very stupid, indeed racist, to make an assumption of one's nationality based on the color of one's skin. The usage of the term as a blanket statement referring to black people is the problem.

huh, so now unity is a bad thing?
I don't understand the harm in every American feeling the right to call themselves so.
I'm 25% italian, 25% Mayflower desendent, 12.5% Irish, 12.5% Scotish, 25% Lithuanian.
What do those countries mean to me? I've only seen Italy and Plymouth rock out of those choices.
How many black people have even seen Africa? Africa is a pretty broad term in itself. They were born here. Many not pure from Africa.
Eventually the tribe or orgins you are a part of are more important to you then the ones you decended from.
Romans weren't always Romans...Canadians for the most part have mixed backgrounds. The US, Canada and Europe do a better job allowing all cultures to participate in being equal then anywhere else on earth.
We are all one people in America. Black people and white Americans have very similar values and culture as well as religion. Black people in America have a uniquely American culture that has little to do with Africa. They are part of this country and are American.

Now you explain to me what's ignorant about that? Cause I don't get your point.

[Flagg]

You know, through so much mixing, the human race will eventually become one race, one colour.

Wonder what we'll find to hate each other about after then..

[TITANIUM]

There will always be something that people will dislike or hate one another.It is in mans nature to destroy itself.As far as this racial tag team sh*t going on here, there is a way to describe it: social immaturity.
