Black Americans are more American than they are African. A lot of the negative aspects of American culture period play a part.

As if a person in a trailer park would even know or care about an obscure country such as Ghana. I mean these people simply can't fathom that there are non-white people that view their culture with contempt.

Thanks to the internet, it wouldn't take much for a trailer park yahoo to learn a little about Ghana, especially if it was part of a farce

You're NOT talking about EdwardA here; his English is too damn good to be a "trailer park yahoo". It's a hell of a lot better than mine and I'm a native born and raised American white man.

I"m talking about the fact that there is much less vocal displeasure in real life than on the internet

When the sensitive whiners realize that folks actually sit around and poke fun at them behind their backs then we can all live in peace. Anyone who says they don't is a liar. Why is it that everybody can sit at a comedy club and laugh at racist jokes fired at all races and be fine with it but then be completely offended when they walk out the door if they heard the same joke on the street??? I think some folks are looking for a reason to be "offended" so they can run around and scream. Loosen up the panties a bit and enjoy life.

What one person views as giving in to sensitive whiners is another person's mature, considerate, civilized behavior.

Why is it always racists people can never seem to take their own advice and quit being sensitive themselves. They always get upset when they get called out for their racist view points and than whine to everybody that this country is too sensitive and there is too much PC.
