    probably because white people in America and all other places don’t mind being called white whereas in the US, African American has become kinda like a generic term to call black people to the extent that some people here think that Nelson Mandela was an African American.lol

    Don't bad mouth Funso or I will get him and his mate Hughroy Currie over to you! ;)

    As for the mountain from Africa, the Notice fight suggests, if fit, he would have been a lot more competitive against The Lion, than his sub Simuwelu.

    I’m saying “African” Americans have been in America probably for as long as Europeans have been in Africa. Yet they are still African. So why is it that Europeans in Africa (who have lived in Africa just as long as Africans have in America) don’t get to be called “European Africans”.

    To me, Coetzee is a European born in another place.
