you hit the nail on the head....just as the NC Congress is apologizing for slavery...something that happened over 150 years ago, when none of us were even alive....I am convinced that these media whores who promote racism think that the world owes them something, and they are out to get it no matter what.
We can quote several indeferences. One starting with Africa it self. How many African nations will take responsibility of selling their people or other tribes to slavery. In fact from what I understand it still happens to this day of slavery. Many Great tribes of Great African Nations sold many of their people or opposing people into slavery. It is common even today. Lets look into the African nations who sell into slavery without 1st world nations. It appears even to this day,,,,,,,,Yet America Gets Blamed for slavery. Many of the tribes people or rival tribes people sold their people into slavery.......
how many "african-americans" are actually from africa? My decendents are from Germany, but I am not German-American...I was born here, so I am an american.
It is a matter of finding who their true heritage is from. It is as diluted as mine, Mine came from 1860 Scandevania. I do know my heritage has come from Germany, Scandivana, USA after 1865 is incredible. Although I have several lines who offer some geneanological facts..........Provide litttle or norhing in montary factors(whether in small amounts or large}...............Soooooooooooo to gain in any monetary gain.............willl provide nothing.......... Even so...........my family, generations back, have no support.........sooo than what................what can we as family, lands los through bankrutvy or government or otheerwise
I guess I see it as people thinking that the world "owes" them something just because maybe their family descendents were slaves....I think they need to grow up and move on.
It amazes me that Rev Sharpton and Rev Jackson are the first to have a press conference to blast Imus (who made a major mistake) but they hide their heads in the sand in regards to the rappers that sing nonsense 24 hours a day on MTV and BET.. all day long you hear songs about - "my bitches, my whores.. sluts.. strippers" and songs about "poppin caps and killin niggahs" You would think those two clowns would step up and denounce the rappers but they are cowards and are probably afraid they will get shot.. that’s the difference between those two wanna-bes and Martin Luther King, he would have stood up to that nonsense. Al and Jesse are always looking for the easy press conference.. (I really need to start drinking decaf )
Al Sharpton is a horrible racist and biggot. The fact that none of these idiotic 'news anchors' that have him on question him about things he has said and done in the past is bullshit. I'd like the chance to spit in the mans face to be honest. Then ask him how the white devils spit tastes
I was listening to...I forget his name now. Some corny talk show guy on the radio. He comes on real late at night. But anyway, some black caller said that gangsta rap is the fault of George Washington and also reparations would fix the racial divide in America. lmao @ both of those

Oh for gods sake. Are you actually serious? First off, 99.9% of this hoopla over Imus is bullshit. Do you REALLY think Americans are upset about what he said? Not hardly. The only ones that care are the black 'reparations are due' crowd such as sharpton. And the idiotic news companies. Here's a big news flash for you, most Americans don't give a shit about Imus nor the female basketball players, that's a fact. This entire thing is a product of our horrible media system in America. This is the reason I don't watch TV anymore. Anyway, the fact that anyone is having meetings about what he said is laughable.
Are you sure you don't mean ancestors? an·ces·tor n. 1. A person from whom one is descended, especially if more remote than a grandparent; a forebear. de·scend·ant 1. a person or animal that is descended from a specific ancestor; an offspring.
Ultimately, we are all African Americans. Decendants of all man kind is said to originate from Africa.
^^ Sure Sure. I wouldn't even have pointed it out except it was two posts in a row, so I thought there was a chance you might need the definitions. Everyone makes mistakes.
Says it all on the term "african americans" http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=your_stupid_ideas
That site points out the obvious. I have a friend whose family is from Jamaica, but she was born in the states. I'm going to ask her if she calls herself African American or Jamaican American.
no....which goes to show how much you really know what you are talking about....if that was the case, does that mean that Christopher Columbus found Africans when he landed in Haiti??
