You realize this is Humanities, right?

lets just formally accept that every good thing every came from blacks and every bad thing ever came from whites, that way the bitching might finally stop aswell

I'm black and my girlfriend is Moroccan. She ironically calls herself African-American and says stereotypical shit. It's hilarious.

We should've stopped the whole political correctness at "Black American." We got past Negro, then Black American and now African-American? It makes no sense. Technically they are Anglo-Americans too...

Do they have two passports? I am confused.

I think the trouble is that during slavery, black populations were so mixed that most families were unable to preserve their true ethnic identity, which just got lumped together into "black" or "African". To this day, "Africa" is seen as a monolithic entity. It's no surprise, then, that if black people are going to be lumped into the catch-all term "African", they're going to identify with African civilizations that their personal ancestors may not have been a part of.

If "Europe" were seen as a monolithic entity, it would be no surprise to have Germans larping as Romans (which happens more than it should already)

Roosevelt had it right when he said "you are either American or you aren't". Or something like that.
