"African American" Politically Incorect

Discussion in 'Pandora's Box' started by Mogwai, Mar 29, 2007.

  1. I must say. In school I had a test asking about African Americans and such, it was an essay. I responded that it was a bias, assuming all black people are from Africa. It only makes sense right? Black people could never be from Haiti, Britian, or any other place. And let's forget that alot of Africans are WHITE.

    Of course, being half-high and stubborn, I wrote a smart ass answer. I wrote:
    "Since you're asking me a biased question, I'll give a biased answer. Black people moved north because of friend chicken, drugs, gangs, and welfare checks. Not acceptable answer, ask the questions right."

    I was actaully more out of it than I thought, I suppose. Yeah, after reading over my paper, fuck. Of course I've nothing aganst black people, so please take no offense in my response. But has anyone else kind of thought it wrong to call all black people 'African American'?
     
  2. yah madox made a post about it, You might get a good grade from your teacher, just be prepared to explain your reasoning to him/her.
     
  3. Yeah...the ones that moved there.
     
  4. Trust me dude you dont sound racist at all and about the whole African American thing its bullshit cause in England there just called black people its just like saying all whites should be called Caucasian American thats just crazy.

    I also agree with the moving north cause of the chicken and drugs but disagree with the Gangs and welfare, never was on welfare not once woulda been nice though to have a fridge full of freezer snacks(Pizza Wings, Enchilada's):D

    But you know whats kinda wierd they have us classified just like the Native American does that mean there gonna do sumthing trying to do sumthing or did sumthing to Us:eek: :eek: :eek:
     
  5. Think there's such thing as an african-canadian? They're called black people.
     
  6. I always thought that label was abit silly...
    ESpecially when Asians are not called Asian-American , etc...
     
  7. Have you ever heard of morocco? Algeria? Tunisia? Egypt? Countries all located on Africa, but the majority of people living there aren't black.

    I'm half Algerian by ancestory, and I chcek off 'african american' on a lot of things. I figure hey if people are going to be ignorant like that, I might as well take advantage of them
     
  8. From Wikipedia, so actually yes, all black people are from Africa originally, including everyone else.
     
  9. I guess we're all African-Americans....
     
  10. Thats what I'm talkin about brother:smoking: now stop hogging all the damn corbread:D
     

  11. roflmao! that was funny.
     
  12. That is crazy, the white folks should be called "European-American"? Or is that too oxymoronical?

    I do have one true "African-American" friend but he doesn't like the term. Black is good by him, unless you wanna get specific. Then he prefers Maasai.
     
  13. Fuck political correctness
     
  14. Seriously, I've never even been to Caucasia.

    You got a buddy who's a Maasai? I saw a special about them on national geographic. they kill stuff with spears, and that's pretty cool.

    To me, You're African-American if you were BORN in africa. If not, you're american. period. I'm (half) of Mexican heritage, but i'm no mexican-american. I'm American. I was born here, by father was born here, we're american. And so are you, black people.
     
  15. And the Kool Aid.

    "THIS RACISM IS KILLIN ME"
     
  16. all these labels dont mean shit were all living things , all living things should be treated equally . all of a sudden society treats people with dark skin better than they used to
    but its acceptable to torture a female cow with all these hormones and shit and take there babys and kill them and then steal there milk. FUCK THAT
     
  17. African-American as in my ancestors were of African descent. It could go either way, but whatever--I'm black.
     
  18. Both My Parents are from Haitii But I dont say Im Haitian American...I admit thats my nationality but thats about all.

    And SuburbanMK you got that from Chapelle right forgot what episode but I was cracking up when he said it cause he wasnt lying about it.
     
  19. I don't see race. People tell me I'm white, and I believe them because the police call me "sir"
     
  20. I wish they called me sir its usually "Boy" JK :D
