The term "African-American"
When will this foolishness stop ? Here in Maryland, Lt. Governor Anthony Brown won the Dem. primary nomination for governor. One of the first things reported was that he would be the 1st A-A governor in the history of the state of Md. This is total rubbish. His father was born in Jamaica and his mother is a native of Switzerland, and he's almost as white as me.
All this A-A stuff does, besides being divisive, is point the electorate to a candidate who may not be qualified for the office.

Over 90% of Jamaicans are at least partial descended from slaves brought from Africa. Less than 2% are "pure European" descendants.
Tea party conservatives bitch when African Americans vote for democrats. They bitch when they vote for a very conservative GOP senator from Mississippi. I get the feeling that the tea party conservatives don't want African Americans to vote period.

Well, since the Garden of Eden is purported to have been in Africa, then aren't we all African- American ?
Of all the black folks I know, only two are truly Af.-American; one born in Nigeria and one in Kenya and both are now US citizens. They truly laugh out loud when they hear the term AA bandied about.
Please don't drag that POS Obama into this thread.

Actually Lt. Gov Brown's father was born in Cuba and he was "Afro-Cuban":

He was raised in Jamaica.

It sure is implied by the fact they are not happy with whoever the African Americans vote for.

Liberalism is truly a mind-rotting disease, as evidenced by your agreement with that nonsense.
Ya'll are the reason why this country is forked politically.

Sorry to say, but you're also a reason why this country is forked politically.
One side thinks the opposition is all communists, and the other side thinks the opposition is all racists.
Great system.

No it isn't. Tea Party types and Conservatives in general, from what I understand, were upset with the open primary that was held in Mo. Crossover voting is a dubious way to tilt an election, especially in a one party state. The opposition can in fact pick who their candidate runs against. THAT particular instance is what most were upset about, if not the practice in general.
But then again, I know that you know that. Troll away !!

A lot of people call themselves Italian Americans, Irish Americans, etc., I guess it applies them as well?
I personally don't care what the media labels a person. I have a mind of my own.

Not many, if any, but the worst part of the question is, the "nightmare ride" that will occur, and it must endure, until that end finally comes.....
You just have to ask anyone who has lived and survived under a commie-regime, to really know that....

Sweden and France according to the tea party would qualify.
