There is no such thing as African-American. There are Africans, and Americans. If you were born in the US you're an American. If you were born in Africa, you're an African. It's not rocket science.

african = born in africa

american = born in america

african american = born in africa, gained citizenship in america

even if you take out family origin 5-10 generations back to invalidate "african american" as a term there still very much is such a thing as an african american.

African-American is a political designation created by Jesse Jackson in a speech in the 1970s. It is a thing. Of course racist forces try to undermine black identity.




Read about dual consciousness in The Souls of Black Folks by WEB DuBois and become educated about this issue. Or just be another entitled white man defining black identity in your own way. You choose.

Pop up pictures, with a colouring section in the back. With jumbo crayons only because he kept shoving the smaller ones up his nose.

For someone who goes on and on about the Somali population in Minneapolis, this is a really weird flex.

"obama is kenyan"

Are people just going to get more and more racist as we get closer to the election because they know they'll lose?
