    I send my reparations to my granddaughter.

    I don't think Steyer realizes how mixed our "races" are. I'm Scottish, English, Native American. My granddaughter is all that and Hispanic and Black.

    I recently had my DNA study done. I am a mixture of African 80% and European 20% genetics. I always thought I had Native American genes, but apparently I don't.:)
    I bet your granddaughter is beautiful.

    Well now that the current paradigm allows for race identity to be determined by
    the person declaring whatever race they wish to be
    Then theoretically EVERYONE can claim themselves to be African and collect any reparations that may in the future be available

    He's culturally African-American.

    What black American hasn't been told that they have Native American ancestry, lol? It's usually not true. We're like Elizabeth Warren, in that regard. I was always told that I have some Irish ancestors. My cousin's DNA test revealed British ancestry. My maternal grandfather was biracial and my mother says that his father was an Irish slave owner.

    My grandmother on my Dad's side was biracial. I've discovered several White 5th-8th cousins in my family tree; I have English, Irish and Scottish DNA. (Those slave masters were busy). Also I have ancestors from Nigeria, Cameroon, Togo and Benin.
    The test even revealed where my first enslaved ancestors landed in America. Virginia. I am learning so much.

    Let's just say that I cried when I saw her for the first time.

    I want my reparations from black people for driving my ancestors off of the mother continent. Look at what they did to us; we're all white for God's sakes. Someone's got to pay for this.

    You know he could be the way out of this mess for the Democrats but he keeps coming up with this nonsense.

    I said no African American lineage.
    Try reading

    First gen from Africa is not slave lineage.
    He doesn't share in the plight of slave descendants and has nothing in common with them. He's a poser

    I knew someone would counter with that. I'd prefer to use the affirmative action example.

    Nothing like worshiping a President fully qualified to manage the decline of the country, a decline he tried to perpetuate.

    And that reveals what? That Whites most likely were able to get jobs when Blacks couldn't.

    White women also benefit from Affirmative Action.

    I know what you said. It doesn't mention lineage (or slave descendancy) in that definition, because it's not a requirement. Try reading :).

    I don't worship any human being. I said I miss him.
    Some folks think we are in decline right now.

    You didnt see my prior post.
    Shame you like to jack your jaws without knowing what you're talking about.

    Additionally , dictionary definitions have little to do with common usage. African American is used to evoke emotion, hashing up imagery of long since abandoned slavery.
