Stop writing about a person not being able to be both African and American. You're stupid. I meant black american. You aren't helping.

Answer 1

Why exactly do they need to start with u or q? Here are a couple of websites that might help

Answer 2

There is no such thing as African American. They are Black Americans. There are white Americans, Native Americans and Hispanic Americans. The Americans are too far removed from Africa to be called African Americans. They are not.

You don't say Irish American when you talk about GWB. How can a 4Th generation American be called African? Its a Silly concept to encourage a racist divide. Us and Them

How can an individual be both African and American at the same time?
