2nd--"Stefano" from Italy? Are you kidding me? This is the sound basis of your argument? Randomly picking people from a country then sterotyping their name?
3rd--If your lineage cannot be determined because you have been in America for five generations, wouldn't your lineage be American? Why would it be African? My Dad was born in Scotland, I was born in Canada; Therefor I am Canadian. Not Scottish, nor Scottish Canadian.
4th--As to the Oprah comment--What???? Sheesh.
5th--Does your avatar really say "Bros before Hoes"?? Obama is 50% white, so which part of "Bro" are you supporting?

I guess the humor in my avatar is lost on you. But for the record, I support the entire candidate. He is a human with his own merits regardless of his race or racial composition. Whether or not you identify yourself as a bigot, continuing to make comments like, "which part of Bro are you supporting?" or "I have to honestly say, I am sick and friggin tired of people with skin pigmentation saying shit like "African American," could lead one to believe you are a bigot.
Despite your perception of my examples being lame, the point still stands. I am able to trace my genealogy (on my mother's side) back to the mid 1700's. I frequently identify myself as German, Swiss, and Norwegian. The fact that blacks in the United States that are descendants of slaves cannot is just that, a fact. It's also a shame.
