Where is race being mentioned at all? what does this have to do with the mom or black panthers? The black panthers isnt a racial group, the neo panthers are you. You literally just exposed yourself.

You damn right I play the card, because I am not asian nor an eskimo and yet, people still insist I'm either onw - you are literally insulting someone you don't know. That makes you the one with the lesser IQ number to compare with. The most infuriating part of these lowlife has one thing in common: They are, with no exception, all white. You'll be surprised how often I hear white ignorant people trying to tell me I'm either one. "Because you're smart, you must be surely an asian" or "because you are an inuit, you are an eskimo" - they aren't reasonable assumptions. Go get some protection, 'cause you are getting dragged by someone you say isn't smart. I want to see you use three languages at daily basis and fourth for science before I can allow to call me stupid.

the black panthers never killed anyone for starters. do some research please.

Both were created by Democrats.

It is that the person who made the statement is black and has never been to Africa and yet takes offence that someone who is white but was born in Africa and has parents and grandparents etc. who were born there identifies as being African.

Oh, really? And how many South Africans do you know? Please, I'm Nigerian and I've never once said, I'm from Nigeria, but not from Africa. I always say I'm either Nigerian or African. I call bullshit to "they aren't proud of their continent so they only go by their country." Their country makes up the continent and they are African, like it or not.

that was my impression too, so i can see why op would have annoyed her.

THANK YOU! And lest we forget that Apartheid rules often called white South Africans "Europeans" and POC South Africans "Non-Europeans". It's like, oh so NOW you wana be an African? B*tch please, you ain't Johnny Clegg, as least make us all some rad music if you wana be rockin this "White African" sh*t :P

I am a white South African (I also lived in America for a short while). I call myself both South African, as it's my country of origin and African as its my continent of origin. I am extremely proud of where I come from and my roots are planted FIRMLY in the mother land. Sure once upon a time my ancestors came from somewhere in Europe... but that was about 365 years ago... I am African. As was my parents before me and their parents before them and so forth. Don't insult us. We are a proud people. We are a diverse people. But we are one.

I’m not insulting you, I’m merely reporting what I’ve heard from many white South Africans. To be fair, I’ve never claimed to be a North American. I have no problem with Canada or Mexico, but I’ve never had the need to claim my continental affiliation.

No it isn't like saying black. Black is like saying black. Technically they should call themselves South African, not African.

Ok but where is "American" ever used to refer to a race??

you're ethnicity is based on where you're born not where you're ancestors are born so if the person who posted this was born in Africa he is African

If you look at the planet's history, all humans can call themselves African. It's where **** sapiens came from. That's what your argument sounds like to me. The OP is referring to nationality (or the equivalent for a continent), not ethnicity. He/she could probably have said 'South African', but he is not wrong. Just like I'm a European, he's an African.

so... basically white people can't be Americans?

Why on both sides? The way it was written the OP didn't bring in the racist remark.
