I'm African American, do I root for the US or Ghana in todays world cup match?

My friends and I were having a Heineken fueled conversation about the World Cup ( something that wont happen for another four years ) and in a joking manner someone asked who do we root for.If we were indeed African American shouldn't we be torn over who won ?

Hello Mr. Cook,

Let me enlighten you that you are not an African-American. You are a Black American. You are a new breed or race of people that has emerged out of the ashes of slavery.

An African-American is a person of African origin that has become an American citizen. A Black American is a person of a new breed or race of people that has emerged out of the ashes of slavery. The wedge that separates a Black American from an African American is slavery. African Americans did not experience slavery while Black Americans still carries the experience and trump of slavery today, am I right.

Tell me what you think if you mentally capable

That's really funny Brother George, but I wasn't torn~~~ I was all the way with Team USA. I'm sorry I didn't see your blog on Saturday, but anyway better late than never.

Give it a rest Brother Harry~~ there is no difference in saying Black American vs. African American. Stop majoring in minors and go on to the more weightier things of the gospel like ending poverty and abortion.
