I offer up all those that call themselves African Americans. Name one that truly is African American, yet we accept their assertions. Percentages meh.

One I can think of off the top of my head is our current president. His father was "African", (says so right on his "birth certificate") and his mother was a US citizen. That would make him a true African-American, wouldn't it?

Nobody that matters wrote: "Oklahoma" means "Red people" in the Choctaw language. When are they gonna rename the state?

Probably about the same time the US government cancels the trademark for the band (group?) NWA. You and I both know that the "N" word is always a racist and offensive term, right?

When do you think that will happen because the "N" word offends the sensibilities of a percentage of the black community?

"Oklahoma" means "Red people" in the Choctaw language. When are they gonna rename the state?"

Interesting tid bit, didn't know that one.

But hey, its only Oklahoma, who cares according to STDS who is 100% accurate? J/K

There's another kind of skin I can think of that the Redskins could change their team name to but I'm pretty sure it would be offensive to some uncircumcised men... Next time I'm in Obamaland I'll grab a copy of the white pages and see how many guys named Richard Head are listed. I have to believe that there will be a bunch of them with numbers on and near Capital Hill. :Whistle

Nope he was supposedly born in Hawaii. He is American. As far as know he doesn't have dual citizeship. My grandparents were born in Germany. My Dad was born in the US. Neither Dad nor I are German, and have never claimed to be German Americans.t

Obama renounced his U.S. citizenship whenever he applied to college stating that he was from Kenya and was here as a foreign student.

You're a liar....But you knew that.

...or, you could PROVE it... :LMAO: :rofllol :LMAO: :rofllol :LMAO: :rofllol :LMAO: :rofllol :LMAO: :rofllol

Snark, he was offered $50,000,000 by Trump to produce his college admission records. He refused.

That may not prove that he claimed to be a foreigner, what it does prove is that he is a moron!

It proves you're a liar....But you knew that.

From the ridiculous to the more ridiculous.

"Veterans aren’t happy with a recent op-ed by the Washington Post, which charged that the Apache, Comanche, Chinook, Lakota, Cheyenne and Kiowa military vehicles were a “greater symbolic injustice” than the NFL’s Washington Redskins’ name.
“Even if the NFL and Redskins brass come to their senses and rename the team, a greater symbolic injustice would continue to afflict Indians — an injustice perpetuated not by a football club but by our federal government,” Simon Waxman of the Boston Review wrote for the Post on Thursday."...
