--African-American population -

i believe we lose something when we even call them hyphenated-americans... i know that as pale as i may be, i'm in no way shape or form, european-american... especially if a person is born here will they be simply american-american, like it or not....

and why are so many of them with yellow or tan skin calling themselves 'african'... as though they're ashamed of any other blood they may have....

european schmeuropean... african schmafrican... chinese schminese... if they're born here they're american... and people had better learn to deal with that...

this whole reparations thing is to paraphrase... wiggity wiggity whacked... when are we going to stop treating certain groups like children and let them 'grow up' and participate in american life?...
