And "african-american" is a person who has dual citizenship. But actually, Africa is a continent... and you can't have citizenship from a continent. Saying that you are a "Irish-Amercian" is stupid unless you have citizenship in both countries; Ireland and The United States. Saying that you are an American is informing what NATIONALITY you are. Saying that you are "Irish-American", "italian-american", "african-american" is informing what RACE and WHERE you are from. Either you're an American or you're not. I don't need you to go around telling me what fucking race you are. This world is too fucking PC with that shit. If I went around telling my RACE and my NATIONALITY together; i.e. WHITE-AMERICAN, I am deemed a racist.

So Bass Hertz/Treble Hertz/Dumbass Royale, just because you think loudness is a sign of intelligence doesn't mean the rest of us do.
This country has ALWAYS been about capitalism.. having the opportunity and the right to achieve the most, based on each individuals ability to earn what they deserve. This is the driving force of principal; What inspires so many people from other countries to come here. *THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY*

And if this hurts you because it doesn't reflect your opinions, the fact that you are worried what others think, then great. Be glad you have someone who isn't afraid to stand up and voice their opinions. I am loud, proud, and intelligent. The country was based on revolution and protest. Tell our forefathers that they were idiots for being loud. :roll:
I've got more of a right to protest and revolt than you, given that I'm going against the status quo.

Also, way to take my post in the wrongest way possible.

Lazertits out.

I didn't post that picture, way to edit my shit.

Also, the American education system failed me because I'm interested in learning for learning's sake, rather than applying knowledge towards a specific field that doesn't really interest me.

They're called "african-american" basically because they were taken away from their home country and stripped of most of their culture so they have no fucking idea where in africa they came from... that's the only reason they use the whole continent as a prefix.
That dual-citizenship thing is bullshit as well. Americans say they're "irish-american" or "italian-american" because they have roots there.

hate to break your little american dream, but America has much lesser social mobility than most european countries. And the percentage of immigrants in the US is about the same as in France, Ireland, Spain, Netherlands, UK, Germany and Sweden, and lower than in Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Luxembourg, Austria and lots of other countries as well.

Basically,
you are incorrect.

Plenty of black people living in the US are also amazed at why the Government chooses to call them "African-American". Black people who have not one ancestor coming from Africa.

Plenty of Canadians have "roots" in other countries. I've looked on the internet at Canadian Government Applications... not one I have found has any check box for "African-Canadian" or "German-Canadian", etc.

I've got a Cuban friend who gets upset when PC white liberals call him "African-American". He's always saying "wtf.. I am from Cuba... I am not an African.. stop this insanity"
