Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain came out and said that he does not want to be referred to as an african-american. Cenk Uygur discusses what Herman Cain would rather be called.
african american would imply that they are african immigrants. they are not. To call them that seems almost disrespectful. It ignores the culture and history they built in america. African American sounds like some crap that some nervous patronizing white idiot thought up. Walking around glass on blacks doesn't help, and ends up feeling like racism after a while.
LOL. You know it makes me laugh how pretentious phonies such as yourself who come to America and act as if you're entitled to things that OTHER people worked for and then have the audacity to look down on people. Do you know how absurd that is? Who cares if people call themselves White or Black American? Is that even your business as to what people refer to themselves, give me a fricken break with your steretypical bs you're talking about.
He's an American first and then a black American if you need to description for a crime or something. We don't call White Americans Euro-Americans. Cenk analogy is stupid because he was born in Turkey and then unfortunately moved here
us black people are black american.. i never been to africa before, so how am i african, when the only culture i know is the english culture. why cant i just be called American without a title
In this debate:
People who think that nationality is the same thing as ethnicity.
