Then don't forget the number of people from the Carribean that live in the U.S.
Uh-huh. Cause we know the black people in the Carribean were there all along. :withstupid:




What about some Americans that call themselves Italian-Americans... Irish-Americans?

Nevertheless they sure wrapped themselves up in the American flag didn't they.

You forgot about 'French-Canadians' They should decide too.

And try calling a Carribean-American an African-American. This post just shows you're ignorant as well as a racist.

But let's stop moving the goal post. You wouldn't dare walk up to them and call them "African" would you?

They do.

Racisim is not dead in the US... and you have clearly shown that it is alive and well in Canada!

Sadly it is not. There are always ignorant smug people who think they're better than everyone else. These are very sad, very pathetic individuals.

I'm no more a racist than you are a Canadian. I love the way anyone mentions any fact about race and the usual trolls will start in with cries of "racist". You have no f*cking idea who I am or what I believe about race/creed/color. I may not be all PC like some would like but not a racist of any sort. I judge people based on individual interaction without regard for their heritage or stereotypical misnomers. So you just go ahead and keep throwing slanderous terms around when you have nothing intelligent to respond with.

Actually I wouldn't have an issue asking them where they were from in Africa or calling them African. They are of African descent and would probably enjoy a discussion on their heritage. Just because it is still ingrained into white America that they are N&$$@rs doesn't mean others do too.

Sometimes the trolls don't even need that...

WTF is that...you people? Just what people are you talking about? Sounds like a racist comment to me. LOL

Is an excellent example of that, lol.

I may not be all PC like some would like but not a racist of any sort.
Fair enough, but you do have a lot of racist opinions.

Just because it is still ingrained into white America that they are N&$$@rs doesn't mean others do too.
The same mentality that some people use to categorize all blacks as descendent's of African slaves, is the same mentality of the people that call all blacks niggers.

I don't know WHO you are... but clearly you are a racist.

Now you're flipping out because you've outed yourself.

WHAAAAT! WHAAAAT!

Can you dig your hole any deeper!

Oh I would pay you to come down here and walk up to a group of African-Americans and ask them what part of Africa they are from! What they would enjoy would be giving your racist self a good butt kicking!

Are you THAT STUPID!?

Let me rephrase what I said... I don't know WHO you are but I know you are a racist and stupid.

You seem to know little about your own countrymen, Eagle. There is a thriving tourist business in Ghana catering to Black Americans trying to discover something of their roots and, in the process, visiting the 'facilities' where their ancestors were kept in chains and marketed.

African Americans will never be able to research their genealogy but they are as interested as any other people in their roots.
