It seems a little silly to me. I mean, for many, it's been several, several generations since anyone in their line has lived in Africa. Many "African Americans" that I know are about as African as fugu and takeyaki. And if scientific origin theories are correct, then technically all of humanity is African, and thus all Americans are "African Americans". Seeing as how there's apparently no statute of limitations. *strokes chin* Now that would be interesting. Maybe I should start putting that on official documents.
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6
