174. Are you from Africa? I thought you said you were from DC
I have a buddy who's a naturalized Nigerian....he tells me he is an African American....and guys like you are not. He finds the PC practice of referring to Black Americans as African quite irritating....and I understand why. It marginalizes those who actually are African American. I have a Caucasian buddy who was born and raised in Zimbabewe....is he an African American, in your eyes?

The US, Europe and Russia are the homelands of over 80% of the Jewish people who now live in Israel. Israel is no more their homeland than Africa is yours.
