Michelle Malkin's website has a video link to CNN's reporterette Carol Lin describing the rioting Muslims in France as "African-Americans". Really, how freaking dumb can a journalist get? I guess calling them Muslims is much to painful. PS Would a white-skinned immigarant from Capetown be correctly called "african-american"?

Obiviously, they can get pretty dumb. I once heard one, can't remember who and I only think it was on CNN, but they were discussing the Canadian Native-Americans.

Since the only politically correct descriptor for a black person in the US is "African-American", that's all the TV anchors know. Therefore, any black person anywhere in the world is labeled such.

Amazing how the PC movement can get twisted around its own illogical neck. I'm sure they think Kofi Annan is an African-American.

Talk about fanning the flames. I'm sure the Euro Muslims would take exception to being called Americans of any type.

I have been meaning to interview a friend who owns a company in South Africa for some time regarding the labels we place on 'blacks' and how racist it is. You see in South Africa they have a very advanced label system in place for people of 'color'. Although the country is now run by 'blacks', it remains one of the most racist countries in the world. And not surprisingly its not only whites racism towards blacks, rather black on black racism.

Labeling is another form of subjugation created by the racist to put the black person in his or her place. It is my opinion that the left in this country continues to push for evermore labeling to further this subjugation. This system of labeling a person as black or African American, while whitey is not labeled as white or German American combined with the total failure of educating the 'black' children is apartheid by the left in their quest to create the self-serving second class citizen, to be used as their proletariat force for change into the utopian fantasy.

It goes even deeper. Take the Jews for instance. They share a common status with blacks as given to them by the left. Permanent exile from their lands and forsaken by God they have been taught man can replace God. Some Jews believe there is hope for a new socially just world governed by man without God and in this they will find peace, yet the Israel fighting for their states existence in the Middle East knows this fantasy ends in the Holocaust. The left has prescribed for the black a permanent exile from Africa similar to the Jews exile and programmed them to believe a socially just world can be created for the blacks by man absent of God. What will happen to black people if their utopian dream is realized? If history is any indication of things to come, a black holocaust is imaginable by viewing the Rwanda (France) and Sudan (France and other socialist countries) genocides.

The truth is black people are Americans and not black, just as I am not black for having a Sicilian grandmother. And I am neither German American nor Italian American, rather just an American who is granted under our constitution as created by man under God equality with all other men. Does our country have a history of injustice? Yes, but we have made great strides in living up to our founding documents. While the left continues to label and rob the ‘black’ children of an education, it is conservatives on the right who want vouchers for the inner city mother so she has control over her child’s education and fight to end this labeling.

This whole liberal PC Native-American, African-American, Franco-American, Italian-American, German American, Etcetera-American thing is a bunch of horse hockey. Exactly how long is it before we can just say American? Or native born American? My family has been here since the very early 1600's. When, exactly, can I drop the Anglo-American designation?
