African American

[_bruce_]

Please explain how or why this term should still be relevant? Why the prefix "African"?

All U.S. citizens are Americans. I bet Morgan Freeman would agree. Seriously.....few people touch on this subject. African Americans? NO. Americans.

No they are not.
It was mainly a European colony until 1965. At most the US was 89% European stock so even early on there was a distinction by race / origin.

[benchmstr]

American of African descent.

Black American.


I am a white American...not a German American, not a European American.

Kwon, you seem to understand all the American slang etc... are there ever any American references you don't immediately get?

I am not American , but i've seen a boatload of american movies!

Wanted to go to the US back in the 90s but changed my mind after watching the news more and less Hollywood



My whole 80s it was mostly american movies that inspired me, and definitely not many swedish ones lol!

Was the same with music, mostly american or british music and not much swedish music (beside Bathory)

Here in Swe we loved phenomenon such as Back to the Future, Karate Kid, Star Wars, Star Trek, Gremlins, Big Trouble in Lil China, TRON, The Thing, Terminator, Rocky, Rambo etc

Our own Swedish movies like Fanny and Alexander, Ronja Rövardotter (Robbersdaughter) had to take the backseat to those!

Also preferred reading my novels in english than translated to swedish.

Read a lot of H.P Lovecraft, King, Koontz etc during those days.



I'm sure there are alot of American Expressions/slang i've missed.


The "modern" urbanite slang i know, is what i've learned here from Getbig.

Wut do? Ax a question etc Just like those charcoal briquettes say.

Was Swedish movie Thriller:A Cruel Picture aka They Call Her One Eye big in Sweden?

Here's an American accent tip that even a lot of Americans might not recognize. In BB's movie post below, John Glover does a very strong Baltimorean accent, which you don't hear in a lot of movies. In Baltimore the White women call people "hon" alot(regularly pronounced "hun"), like short for "honey", but they pronounce it kind of like "hwun". Like "Hey, hwun, I'm from Ballmore". (I don't live there.)

52 Pick Up. People should know this one, as it was a huge film film on HBO and played a lot in a heavily edited form on network tv in the 80's. Three sleazy small time crooks try to blackmail a business man, and get more then they ask for. Based on the Elmore Leonard book, the performances of the two main bad guys guys (John Glover and Clarence Williams) really add to the film -

Nope. I actually mean it.

We've been sucking at great Babylon's tits for ages, it's about fucking time we show it some respect.

I'm disgusted by all this Black Lives Matter and Antifa bullshit. Everyone hates America so much, but I don't see anyone buying one way tickets out to China, Rússia, South America, North Korea or just about anywhere in Africa.

And to all the social justice Warriors that will get all up in arms about me mentioning black lives matter and antifa, before you cast the first stone, consider looking into who actually funds these domestic terrorist groups and then you realize who the real Masters you serve are.

Venezuela would welcome BLM,Antifa & other Soros pro Nazis !.

I've been following the moves of guys like Soros for years. Anything involving Economics and Finance is my forte and field. Guys like Soros are masters at destabilization and absolutely hate the USA.

BLM and ANTIFA are merely smoke screens to the deeply rooted evil at hand and the rapidly deteriorating American economy. They're there to cause destabilization of our government and bring about the kind of havoc needed to have our society lean so far off that a new world order (or better said economic and political system) can be born. Some call it a more socialistic democracy, but I see it as a form of democratic socialism meant to bring about socialism via radical change and a government coup.

I don't fear what Trump brings, because it's pretty obvious at this point. I fear the great unknown that having a potential future president that is demented can bring about if his vice president becomes president and then in turn subjects the entire USA to the harsh legal and economic standards that Califórnia is going through now.

Biden gets in office -> steps down due to dementia in less than a year - > Kamala gets the throne and she turns the USA into a macro-scaled version of California with confiscatory taxes and harshest laws of the land against everyone. That puppy CUM-LA is owned by the corporations and serves very clear masters. She has debt to pay.

PS Hide your guns Chaos, because if Biden gets in, I wouldn't be surprised if mandatory registration of all firearms occur and if certain weapons are seized by law.

The truth is Africa was and is the most wretched Continent on the face of the earth. The connection "African Americans" have to Africa is that their African brothers enslaved them and sold them to whitey for liquor and tobacco. So they try to somehow hide from the wretchedness by saying things like "We were Kings and Queens in Africa before the white man stole us". If you came to America as a slave, you were a slave long before whitey came to buy you. You were treated like shit by ruthless African war lords who still exist today. They rape children, have the horrible practice of genital mutilation of little girls, Nigerian scam fuckers trying to rob people, and just dangerous nasty shit holes where people will kill, rape and wild because that is what they have done for generations. Most Africans hate American blacks which is why they do not immigrate into black communities like other races such as Mexicans. They hate each other and themselves.Nearly every single city in the world that is made of of predominantly black descendants of Africa is a violent shit hole, from Sierra Leone to south central Los Angeles.

You want to get real? Let's get real. Does anyone remember when they were searching for the "missing link"? That semi human that came between apes and humans? Well they found it, but it was not reported much because of the connection to African Americans. The truth is that blacks are descendants of the missing link. It was found of course in Africa. In fact, as they discovered the missing link they noted that it seemed to be very violent in it's time. The reason for this is that as evolution progressed, humans realized that they were too weak to be predators or aggressive in the wild against the animals, so evolution and intelligence caused humans to bond together, as unity was their only -protection from the wild. But the missing link did not have the intellectual capability to understand this. Genetics is everything but is not talked about because the truth about African Americans would come out. I have attached the simulations of how the missing link would have looked, including the expensive, detailed portrait by the Smithsonian as well as the representations from geneticists around the world. You tell me what the missing link looks like.  It was the original homo erectus from Africa, so if you want to trace your black roots, here it is. Also check out this article from the scientific american. The mixing of genes from Europeans having sex with slaves is what created African Americans. Much more intelligent than the missing link, but some clear genetic markers that have not gone away.

Of course everything I just said is not only true, but banned speech that would not be permitted anywhere in liberal bullshit America.

Complete factual post. There are some people that believe Harris has done a good job in CA, those people should take a trip through some towns out here and see her results and the results of all democratic policies before casting their votes.

I call it corporate socialism, where government and corporates have united to kill off small business and opportunity. With each global crisis it becomes more and more evident. Basically we are all being killed off slowly by multi nationals who don't pay tax at the same levels you do. Giving them a huge advantage without giving them consideration around their global scale etc. In the future there will only be jobs and less of them as AI and Robotics slowly take over, all good for those on the left who don't have any ambition and are happy to live off government, but modern life and capitalism especially America has been built on at least the premise of opportunity for all.

And that is exactly what is still dividing us. No matter the color, we are all equal Americans. We can all technically put a prefix by American.

Everyone should be proud/interested in they're origins and heritage, but it shouldn't be displayed as a negative.

An American is an American . Simple as that.

Everything else should be on a case by case basis.

It is not multi-ethnicities that is the problem it's multi-culturalism. People now want to come to America but not assimilate into American culture. They want their own separate culture and force Americans to accept and honor it.

Back in the day you celebrated your own culture at home. The language, food and customs that you are use to. Once outside the door you speak English (or learn to)
and follow the American culture: drive on the right side of the road, shake hands instead of bow, eat with a knife and fork (meaning don't force restaurants to provide you with chop sticks), don't eat dogs, don't have sex with your sister....

You don’t have many real friends do you man? I get the sense that you literally live for the times when you get responses on this one website. It’s a dopamine high for you isn’t it man? People kind of ignore you in real life, and you know that women (of the non-eye gouging variety) are beyond out of reach. So it just feels good to get replies. It makes you feel respected.
I genuinely feel for you man. I wish you could see that you absolutely can improve your social skills. Other than the autistic types - social retardation is something that can be cured. And even easier - you don’t HAVE to look like Larry the Cable Guy.
I’m not being a dick here man - so DONT go trying to suck me - I’m really being serious.
Don’t let an anonymous place where no one really gives an actual fck be your comfort.

Anyway - been checking in far too often - but you are here always and it’s kind of my job to read people so....

The Thai and Hong Kong governments have directly accused Soros of being involved in speculative attacks on their currencies in the past, with the aim to cause currency collapse.

Soros even brags about weakening the British Pound in the early 1990's, causing a currency crisis so he could make a profit, while millions of people would have suffered financial losses and even hardship as a result. He made over a billion pounds.

Soros, a Jew living in Hungary in WW2 has said ''1944 was the best year of my life''.

He is a complete psychopath.

Some people have a lot of pride in where they came from, or at least where their parents came from.  I could care less, I see Americans as Americans; if you were born here you are an American plain and simple.  This pisses people off though, mainly Hispanics from what I've seen.  I know a ton of Hispanics that were born here that claim to be Mexican-American or Columbian-Americans, if you call them an American it pisses them off.  Go figure.

Viktor Orban pissed off Soros & Open Society out of Hungary.

Soros was desperately trying to stop BREXIT , but 

Banned from Israel too.
