What is it with all these Hyphenated Americans? I was taught in school that a hypen was used to "seperate". Yet, "African"-American's, "Latino"-American's, "Mexican"-American's etc say they want to be accepted by Americans.
Thats irony in its truest form. How can you be a part of a larger group when you break yourselves into smaller groups? When the Irish came to American they did not refer to themselves as "Irish"-Americans. The German's, Hungarian, Russian, nor any other immigrants have done that either. Which brings me to another thought, how the hell can a person of color who was born in American call themselves "African"-American, if they was not born in Africa? Unless I am mistaken Africa is an ocean away from America. We dont have people from Utah calling themselves "Utah"-American's, and Utah is on the American continent. I will never be convinced that those that call themselves a "hypenated" American want to be accepted by the "Real" Americans! As long we have hypenated American's nothing can be equal, because the hypenated ones have disassocciated themselves with the rest of us Americans.
About Me
- Another Realist
- United States
- I am a conservative male that has varied likes and dislikes. I am well aware that I can be scathing and mean when it comes to something I dislike, like Muslims. I look at them as the enemy and they seek to destroy what I hold sacred, my freedom. I did not declare war on them, they declared war on us! I will not back down from a fight, so for any Muslim that wants a fight with me, dont sing it, Bring it! I will not apologize for my radical views. I think the Muslim men wear dresses and towels on their heads so we wont take them seriously. I understand not many bloggers will want to link to this site because of my "colorful" language". I can understand that, but I will not apologize for it, nor will I change it to satisfy them.

This blog of yours is now officially on my blogroll.
Thanks Barry! You Rock!!
I am an honest to goodness AMERICAN - 100%.
Some may call me a 'Heinz 57' variety, but then, isn't America a MELTING POT for my heritage?
I am part Native American Indian (Cherokee and Blackfoot); Black Dutch; Irish; and English.
My skin tone runs to the LIGHT side, which would make me appear WHITE/CAUCASIAN; which is really the English and Irish.
My bone structure is that of the Native American.
My temper is that of the Irish and the Native American.
Come on - FESS UP! Is your blood 100% American like mine?!
If you're 'hyphenated' - do you even feel like a TRUE AMERICAN?
How would you 'hyphenate' me?
Cherokee-Blackfoot Native American-Irish-English-Black Dutch-American?!
