Herman Cain, the beguilingly personable pizza mogul and Tea Party sweetheart who is showing well in the so-far uncompelling Republican presidential nomination campaign, threw a flag early in an interview I conducted with him last week. I had made the dire mistake of referring to him as African-American. "I am an American. Black. Conservative," he said, punctuating each aspect of his self-identity. "I don't use African-American, because I'm American, I'm black and I'm conservative. I don't like people trying to label me. African- American is socially acceptable for some people, but I am not some people." What is it about the word "African" that the candidate doesn't particularly appreciate? "Most of the ancestors that I can trace were born here in the United States of America," he said, hitting those last four words with a hammer. "And then it goes back to slavery. And I'm sure my ancestors go all the way back to Africa, but I feel more of an affinity for America than I do for Africa. I'm a black man in America."

In a related story...I'm due for an oil change in my Passat.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" LMFAO! It figures.
It figures. You trying to say something, Erica?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I was born in 1959. In my life time, blacks have wanted to be called Negro, Colored, Black, African American, and People of Color. It's ridiculous that we have to spend so much time on this nonsense. In fact, it's completely outrageous.
Yea them goddam niggers just don't know what they want to be called now do they? Moron.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I never said any such thing. Your problem is that you are obsessed by this nonsense when you should be focused on succeeding in your career and taking care of your family. You are illustrating the reason why 85% of black kids don't have a father and 1/3 of young black men are in jail. It's a huge problem for the future of our civilization.
It wasn't you who said: "I was born in 1959. In my life time, blacks have wanted to be called Negro, Colored, Black, African American, and People of Color...It's ridiculous that we have to spend so much time on this nonsense."? I defy you to provide proof that validates every "observation" that you made above. You cannot. And it has nothing to do with birthrates...birthrates which are similar among whites of similar economic background. What YOU have illustrated is that you talk out of your ass. Again.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Oh, it looks like I touched a big nerve with you. Are you going to do a drive by on me?
It's ridiculous that we have to spend so much time on this nonsense. So what?
It is our responsibility to protect that child once that child’s born too. When we start debating a budget, let’s make sure we don’t cut 100,000 vaccines. Let’s make sure we’ve got health insurance. We seem to worship what we cannot see, but as soon as that baby’s born, oh no, we don’t want to be intrusive. Texas is going to shrink government until it fits inside a women’s uterus. Senator Leticia Van de Putte
Why not just call themselves Americans?
Obama calls himself an American and you take issue with that.

It has something to do with their culture (sarcasm).....

Everyone can't call themselves Americans. For example if you are from Kenya.
Was that an answer? Sepcifically, to this question: I defy you to provide proof that validates every "observation" that you made above. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Don't blame me because you said something dumb.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Obama's father was from Kenya, his mother was American, and Obama was born in the United States - that makes him American - or at least it would if he were white.

And that is the way it's supposed to be. The "I'm black and I'm a conservative" are just incidental .

Of course he is. He's a Dim,and symbolism is everything to Dims.

I defy you to provide proof that validates every "observation" that you made above. And I challenge you to deny the basic truths he wrote. Is it or is it not true that in the last 50 years Americans of African descent have insisted on being called Negro,Colored,Black,African-America,and People of Color,or untrue? I remember when I was a kid that you might as well call a "colored man" a nigger as call him black. Then suddenly,"black" became the preferred label and Negro was a slur. Pick a preferred label and stick to it. The rest of us are NOT responsible for your changing preferences and shouldn't be expected to keep up with what is acceptable and what isn't.

I've been wondering about that for years.

That's because so much of what he says about himself is a lie. Even HE didn't identify himself as an American before he won the Dim primary. He called himself a African.

I did. Every label he listed, save African-American and black, were put on blacks by WHITES...Negro...Colored...etc...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Oh,bullshit! I remember blacks DEMANDING to be called Negro. Ever heard of The United NEGRO College Fund? How about the National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People? I guess some evil honkie named those organizations?

Instead of what...nigger? The word "Negro" has been in use since the first slaves and nor was it unusual that slaves were referred to as "African"...in fact, they seemed to be called everythign..except AMERICAN. Ever heard of The United NEGRO College Fund? How about the National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People? I guess some evil honkie named those organizations? Ever hear of a CIRCULAR ARGUMENT?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Nice title/site, Stone...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Whites did not invent "People of Color", which is reminiscent of Coloreds. Blacks invented that term. Negro is the Spanish term for the color black. You wrote that blacks like to be called black. Negro is the appropriate Spanish translation. So, once again I am correct and you are wrong.
Uh...no...it was first used in a SCOTUS decision to describe various classes of citizens who were, at some point, denied, rightly or wrongly, equal protection of the law.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" The Spanish are black?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" And most have ancestry that's been in the US been much longer than any group other than Indian.
You replied: The Spanish are black? Now I understand the problem. You are illiterate. You don't know how to read.
You stated yourself, correctly for once, that it was the the SPANISH coined the term "Negro".
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" No,he stated that the Spanish word for black is "Negro".

I think I bought some beans is a can that said they were "negro".
Black beans Yeah maybe it was a bag like that.
And blacks like to be called black, so calling them negro is not offensive at all, because negro is just the Spanish word for black. It means the same thing.
Then he gets partial credit. The Spanish DID coin the term for "Negro" the Africans.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Your credentials as spokesperson for the black race please?
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" Don't tell ME,tell the ones that get their asses up on their shoulders about it.

Really? What word did they use for black before this? Or maybe the color black just didn't exist in Spain before they discovered Africans?

In Spanish it is pronounced NAY-gro, so it really isn't the same.
Bad wordage... Try it this way... The Spanish DID coin the term "Negro" for the Africans.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!"
