Fairfax Underground
Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
I am not black. I am an African American. In modern society, the term black is increasingly considered inappropriety. First we were called niggers, then negras, then colored, then negroes, and then black. But now, we are confortable with African American. Remember the two capital As.
It is not like the name Redskin, which was coined years ago and has stood the test of time despite the protestation of the minority. That label should stay the same no matteer the objections. Anyway, a little name never hurt anybody.
How about American? We need to get rid of the hyphenated America which causes nothing but division and dissent. Everything is about skin color. We should be doing everything we can to promote our commonalities not our differences.

Don't call me an American, I am an inhabitant of planet Earth, oh wait, don't call me that, I am child of the universe, oh wait, I am a child of the Milky Way galaxy.............Screw it, just don't call me...
What about black people who aren't from Africa? What about white people from Africa? Would someone with Egyptian ancestry be called African American? Would a white person whose ancestors are from South Africa be called African American? Would someone from Jamaica, whose ancestors have been in Africa in hundreds of years be called African American?

We're you born in Africa? Have you ever been to Africa? Can you spell Africa? What specific part of Africa are your ancestors from? What tribe are you descended from? What African tribe defeated yours in battle, enslaved your ancestors, raped the women, and either killed or sold the men to white buyers? What claim do you have to Africanism, other than skin pigment and inborn savagery?
I'll just call you jigaboo, or if you prefer, spear-Chucker.
how long before "african american" is considered offensive? probably not long. not all black people are from africa. they aren't all "african". give me a fucking break.

The true African man hates the american savage blacks. They get pissed off when you call them African american, they prefer not to be compaired to the violent racist "american black."
Now go back to Howard university and act like you're educated, Don't forget to take a photo with your hands up..Fucking Racist.

Just give it a few years. The twenty year cycle is about up. Blacks tend to run on twenty year cycles on what they want to be called. First it was "colored", then "Negro", then black, and now 'African American". Check back in just a few years and "african american" will be uncool and non-politically correct.

I love how in every thread eventually the condescending high & mighty faggot like you always chimes in eventually thinking he has it all figured out. WTF would the forum do without you.
OMG, you're right, my apologies. When you use the phrase "high and mighty faggot" you really make a cogent point. You have indeed put me in my place with your well thought out response sir. WTF would this forum be without foreward thinkers such as yourself.

DING DING DING! Well, kinda. I was satirizing all the black folk in DC who cant see the hypocricy in their support of the term redskin...but such things get lost around here when satire and hypocrisy are combined in a single premise.

When I was working, I had an Egyptian kid who always used to list himself as African American. Good for him. I'm sure he got some special consideration, not that he needed it. He was a great kid. I think it's time for all racial classifications to be considered a thing of the past. Nobody today is pure anything.
