Throw out the label African American. It’s false. It’s bull. There’s no reason for it that makes sense. Are you a black person? You’re not African American.

You’ve never been to Africa.

You’re an African American who’s never set foot on the continent of Africa. Some bureaucrat, some moron, came up with that term to Balkanize and tribalize Americans based on minority victimization. If you’re a past victim real or imagined, you get a hyphenated name for no other reason than your ancestors came from somewhere 300 years ago.

If you’re black, your last relative from Africa left there in 1601. Your immediate relatives are all from Cleveland. Don’t tell me you’re an African American.

Don’t call me a racist. That won’t work. As far as I’m concerned, no finer man ever walked than Willie Mays. I’m just an average white guy with the usual prejudices taught by my parents. These are listed below.

1.      I’m better than you are.

2.      I can trace my roots in this country back at least 30 years.

You’re not an African American. At the very least, you should be an American African. My ancestors came from Ireland. That makes me a Celtic-American.

What about Mexico? They’ve got two names, Hispanic and Latino. What the hell is that? There’s no such country as Hispania. Some liberal goof got a map of the world made at the time of Columbus and saw that North America was then called “Hispanola.”

Latino? The last true Latin walked next to Julius Caesar, not Caesar Chavez, a five-foot-tall hairy guy in armor plate who carried a crazy sign that read SPQR (The Senate and Roman People).

You’re not a Latino. You’re an American (if you have a green card) of Mexican descent. If you’re a Hispanic, then I’m a Gaul (the word for ancient France), because I’ve been to Paris.

Instead of ridiculous names with no relation to reality, we should just call each other by colors. You’re black, I’m white (sort of), a Mexican is tan, an Oriental is tan and short (usually).

You’re either an American or a foreigner. Take it or leave it.

I’ve never seen so many people, promoted by the mainstream elitist news media, who want to be called something other than American. Maybe we should call America something else. After all, the I-Tie explorer Amerigo Vespuucii is the least famous of all the explorers. I don’t want to be named after a loser explorer. I can’t even tell you what he found.

Let’s instead call America------Melting Pot. And no more African American or Latino labels. If you’re going to melt into the pot----melt darn it!
