Urgh…I’m still here…putting off a trip to Manhattan… I’m gonna say this, then I’m really going!
Lechacal, in response to your question:
I *HATE* the term “African American.” On a daily basis, no other ‘group of people’ are referred to by their supposed ancestry. Do folks run around describing someone as “European American,” “Australian American,” or even “South American American?” Fuck no! I am an American. I was born here. I’ve got several generations of Snappies before me that were born here. (back off you birthers! ha!) I think it’s about time we got to become just “American.” I am an American who is black. The same way there are Americans who are white. Or brown, or whatever other color folks fall into. I find it insulting when I’m referred to as African American. As if somehow there needs to be an explanation of how my black ass got to be here, because heaven forbid I’m just an American.
Why I love my Snappy! ^^^
(Plus she’s a semi-closeted moderate / center-right Democrat.)
snappy you rule pretty hard

**end of Snappy rant..for now!**
“Lech, you’re making Biff’s head blow up and start sweating.”
Good thing I put an undershirt and deodorant on my head this morning. (Not necessarily in that order)
No, just from how SDFL sounded. He didn’t talk like The What, at least to me.
bxgrl,
I didn’t know you were married 18 years.
no wonder you’re good at arguing!
Two different things. SDFL is not The “REAL” What.
