re: Your mind will wrap itself in knots if you ponder the term 'African American'

Nice spin. Rated 9 out of 10. All of that is just cover for reality. Progressives, being the word parsers that they are, wanted to dissociate the Negro race from the word "black." Black has dark and evil connotations the world over. As such, they unknowingly implied that people of the Negro race should somehow feel ashamed to be referred to as black. Because the progressive mind knows what is best for everyone and what individuals or groups should accept as a label. Blacks were fine with being black until they were told they shouldn't be by their progressive white consiglieres. The irony is that now many blacks are starting to view being called African American as offensive as being called colored. They are not accepting anymore that they should be ashamed of being referred to as black and are throwing off the chains of another progressive democrat attempt to tell them how to think.
But that was a cool story. All blacks got lumped into the label given to some Haitian and Caribbeans who came in the 80s and 90s. You rock Ballboy!

They were not capable of coming up with the concept of the freaking wheel. Let that sink in.

This is not the case in LA.
Is this used in other countries? Like Haiti. Are they African Haitians? Just seems ridiculous, but I guess you just call people what they prefer and move on with it.
