You were wrong. African Americans are simply combining the two continents their ancestors come from to describe themselves. Just because Obama's ancestor (his father) has a closer link to Africa than most African Americans' ancestors doesn't mean his characterization of himself is wrong.
Do you realize the term signifies the theft of ancestry and not traces to it? Before claiming it was simply combining the names of two continents try doing a little homework but I'm not surprised at the ignorance because this board is full of people like you who try to speak on an issue you've clearly not studied.
I am very honored that you would allow me the opportunity to answer your question because as an American.......and Let's be clear on this........you, black or white, have the right to elect representatives that have your mandate to ask questions for which you have a right to hear answers. And you not only have a right to hear those answers but to see them formulated in a way that is transparent.
Did I answer your question?
