Yah, so I've got questions. Why do we use the term "African-American" to refer to those that are of African descent. Some of the most patriotic people I know are called "African-Americans" and guess what, they're not loyal to Africa, they're loyal to America. So why can't we just call everyone that lives in America Americans? Answer me that. We don't call people of African descent that live in Germany African-Germans. We apparently use that term to be more liberal and against racism, but in a way, that promotes racism. The reason there even was racism was because people put everyone into groups by how look or where they come from and then separated us. I'm Caucasian, and guess what? I call myself American. Not German-American. Not English-American. And definitely not Yugoslavic-American. But just because these people are "black" they are called African-Americans. That's putting us into different groups dividing us. Most of us who are reading this can see that they have ancestors who are from a region that better suits the inhabitants to have a different color skin, so why do we need names? And "black" people aren't getting off the hook either, you help create racism in a way to. I've walked down a street minding my own business and looked at people I was passing by, but when I look at a "black" person, most of the time it's the "wrong" way. You guys need to realize its not whatever time it was when apparently racism was widely accepted. I've gotten into fights over racism before, we support everyone equally most of us.

For everyone (if anyone) who is reading this post understood what I am talking about, I encourage and implore you to pass on my message, so we can tear down the barriers that separate us and rip us apart.
