I just don't get it, why describe a black person in America as "African American"?! In my opinion, they should be referred to as Americans, period. As long as they possess all rights to be American nationals, then they are Americans.
I don't know, i could be wrong, but honestly, i find this kind of reference somewhat discriminative.
Could you advice me otherwise please.....
Thank you.

one time manager mmoja wa Walmart shut the door to my face eti am Black
How about an African who is not an American being presumed to be "African American"
Like a Tanzanain going about his business and being addressed as African American.
How can one be "African American" if one is not even American.
There is the assumption in America that every black person is "African American"
thats totally true,
why arent the europeans in america be called euro americans or say asians be called asian american?
thats just discrimination, that every black is african american.
if one is an american citizen then they are americans period.
Could be that you just couldn't sing the Wal-mart song and do the Wal-mart dance routine the proper way like normal White folks do ... (solution: teach yourself to appreciate country music and consider taking some dancing lessons for the jig, the twist, the fox trot and that kind of stuff ) tehe-tehe
