Hello! Do Americans peg American Africans as black? At last we finally got over naming First Americans redskins. Although to the Washington football team they are mascots. we still have a long way to go. Malcolm X said "Black is beautiful"–as is white. But it's demeaning and disrespectful to color-code human beings. Even cattle have names like Jersey and Holstein, not black and white the most rival non-colors. "That black man over there"–has a certain nasty ring to it. Due to American history with deep-seated inequality to those with the most protective pigment, we are addicted to identifying people as black. more so than white. The contrast is startling different. Not to deeply down some folks enjoy calling American Africans as black, a word that for the most part is negative, like "black ball." Not so long ago I was very instrumental opening the door to American Africans to golf clubs. It was the same convoluted system of vicious controversial conflict with prejudicial men black balling Africans from a country club near where I lived. So what's the problem? Africa is a beautiful nation. These sour grapes wanted exclusive rights above and beyond men of so-called color. One man transparently and flippantly wrote, "I have nothing against blacks. I just don't' want them in my club!" Even the placement of words shouts out the truth. "African Americans" is psychologically revealing. Biased people are reluctant to say American African" because they don't want the word "American" to precede the word "African"–a tell-tale sign of bigoted discrimination.
