DudeGottaGo She is not an African American, she is an indigenous black Americans, I wish people stop call black Americans, African American that term was adopted in 1980s not long ago, they are not from Africa nor are their ancestors. Most of them hate being called African American.
Why? Everyone knows Black's have done nothing for this country...
