    I have both Italian and black friends and neither of them refer to themselves as hyphenated-Americans.

    Why can’t everybody just be Americans?

    I think most people do just call themselves Americans except when it comes to paperwork. My thread was an answer to a another thread with the same title on here that I was banned from

    I don't recall ever seeing any paperwork that said anything but African-American.

    Your ability to recall stuff and reality are way too different things. This has got to be one of the most moronic comments you have ever made and moronic is indeed your specialty

    Your inability to prove things you claim seem to be your forte.

    Can't prove you're educated and any other claim you've made.

    I don't know anyone in real life who refers to her/himself as "African-American," that seems to be something used more by the media and politicians.

    I think such terms are unhealthy in a democracy.

    It leads to tribalism.

    I agree. I'm not sure how it got started. IMO hyphenated descriptors should only be used for ppl who hold dual citizenship.
