[78-L] One person's opinions...?!^

Sat Jan 24 14:46:34 PST 2009

The blood of Americans and their lifeless bodies are all over Europe. The concept of FREEDOM for some is ... to run, duck, hide and let someone else protect freedom FOR an ungrateful France. 

That is why I along with many Americans put NO hope in the French for anything except the complete assurance of them PERPETUALLY bad mouthing America.

  You see, Al, we here in Europe have the tendency to look at things from a legal point of 
  view. When you have rights, then they will be respected and even defended.?That's our 
  concept of 'freedom'. 
  ?
  We Europeans fear that the USA only do things because they have the might and power 
  to create facts. Not much different from what Stalin, Hitler and Putin did. The American (or Russian) concept of freedom seems to be, 'Do as you please, and if they don't like it, shoot 
  them'. 
  ?
  This is why Europe now puts so much hope onto Obama.

  Question:  If an American person of color cannot trace their roots back to
  Africa, are they still "African-American?"

  ----------------------
  I seem to recall that there have been several name changes over the decades:

  Coloured people.
  People of colour.
  Negro.
  Black.
  African American.

  These are names that have been used by those people themselves or, more
  probably, their self-appointed leaders (usually people who wish to climb
  to power on the backs of discontented--in this case--black workers). Is
  African American the final word?
