I don't understand the title of "African American". I'm only 2nd generation American, but I don't call myself German or Italian American. Most of the Black people here can probably trace their lineage in this nation back far further than most Whites. If people in this nation really want to be considered as being Equal, they need to start thinking of themselves as "American".
