#14  We have had sports to get away from exactly this.

Make them pay. NFL ratings are down vs last season's week 1 and 2 across the board.

#12  I'm gonna start referring to these "protesters" as "Whiny shit stains".

#11  Not only were expectations unfulfilled but the black community took a step backwards in almost every data set during the first black President's two terms. That's gotta be a tough pill to swallow.

#7  If my family had imigrated from say Algeria, wouldn't I be "African-American".

I suppose you could make these inane arguments, but why? I have a co-worker from Nigeria, he's very dismissive of American blacks calling themselves African Americans. Says they have no right.

He and his family are Naturalized and his policy is that he is an American, Africa has nothing to do with it.

#6  I prefer 'Anglo-American' to 'White' but I don't get much chance to use it.

#5  If my family had imigrated from say Algeria, wouldn't I be "African-American". I may have Danish and Irish in my backround but I don't refer to myself as a Danish-American

#4  Please, STOP referring to blacks as African Americans. This lends an undeserved legitimacy to nonsense appellation. It would be a good idea to refrain from using any form of hyphenation when referring to minorities. Taken further, people should not use the PC preferred euphemisms like "gay" when referring to homosexuals. Stop playing their game, it is counter productive.

#3  @#1: Yup. These "protests" should be re-framed as expressions of unfulfilled expectations.

#2  And just how many left after this happened?

#1  I think "African-Americans" beginning to grasp that "their" African-American Potus will be gone soon, and none of their expectations of his reign materialized.

Not going to argue whether these expectations were realistic, or whose fault it is. The important fact, expectations failed to materialize.
