Some blacks insist: 'I'm not African-American'
The labels used to describe Americans of African descent mark the movement of a people from the slave house to the White House. Today, many are resisting this progression by holding on to a name from the past: "black."
For this group — some descended from U.S. slaves, some immigrants with a separate history — "African-American" is not the sign of progress hailed when the term was popularized in the late 1980s. Instead, it's a misleading connection to a distant culture.

Last year, she wrote about Cornell West's criticism of Obama. This is the mag where he calls her names (the article is on pages 14-15). I can imagine a few shots were fired in between. To me, yes she calls out West but she's balanced in her analysis of his ideas. He's basically calling her a double agent who's undermining the Black Cause, the usual criticism to black women who aren't in lock step with black leadership.
And on a completely unrelated note: why don't she lock her hair and call it a day?Last edited by Karibana; 02-17-2012 at 04:04 PM.
