News > What Was Wrong With "Black"?
School has contest for Distinguished African-American Student Award. Smartass-American friends of white kid from South Africa put up posters campaigning for him. Moron-American school officials freak out because "African-American" really means black, but that word isn't PC so they had to use a less-accurate term. Smartass-Americans are punished, but secretly rejoice at having outsmarted grownups. Via the Spoon Sex Perience.
Kim Du Toit, my favorite actual African-American, comments: "What's really funny is that white South Africans know more about Africa, and are more in tune with Africa, than most Black Americans, including the likes of Jesse Jackson and Oprah Winfrey. Black skin doesn't confer some mystic "African soul" -- that's just propaganda."
