They call me racist too just because I disagree with a President who happens to be black. You are not racists - you are patriots.
This whole notion that all African-Americans are not going to vote for Obama is not necessarily true. I believe a third would vote for me, based on my own anecdotal feedback. Not vote for me because I'm black but because of my policies.
I am an American. Black. Conservative. I don't use African-American, because I'm American, I'm black and I'm conservative. I don't like people trying to label me. African- American is socially acceptable for some people, but I am not some people.
Most of the ancestors that I can trace were born here in the United States of America. And then it goes back to slavery. And I'm sure my ancestors go all the way back to Africa, but I feel more of an affinity for America than I do for Africa. I'm a black man in America.
They say African Americans. I say black people. I've only been to Africa once. I've been in America all my life!
I'm not offended if you call me an African American. I prefer a black American.
I could eat black walnut all the time, it's not a flavor of the week!
