You really think the media saying the "first black american to do _____" is dividing the country?

No. But I truly think the term African-American is divisive.

If a Polish person moves to America and has a child, that child will grow up to be know as American and all his kids will too. Instantly Americans

There are black people who have been here for 100s of years and they are still "African-American." It is like a constant moniker that you will never just be American or shite to me. I hate the term personally. I love how America is a melting pot of all countries. So stop with the African bullshite. Simone is a great AMERICAN.
