A politically correct term for Americans of African descent. Usually refers only to people of sub-Saharan (black) ancestry, not to people of North African ancestry, who are usually considered Arabs. White Americans who were born in Africa, or descended from Europeans in Africa, as in the case of South Africa or Zimbabwe, are not referred to as "African Americans." Most black Americans in casual conversation use the term "black," instead of "African American." Yet liberal whites, and those afraid of offending blacks, will use the term "African American," often out of white guilt for discrimination. White people who feel comfortable with their whiteness, and who don't feel responsible for slavery because they weren't alive before the Civil War, usually hate the phrase "African American." On the other hand, many black Americans, who don't believe that black people can be racist, often call whites a variety of mean names. I suggest new terms for all American groups, such as: Celtic-American, Slavic-American, Anglo-Saxon-American, Nordic-American, Latin-American (as in French, Italian, etc.), Hispano-American (for Spanish-speaking countries), indigenous aboriginal American, Hebrew Semitic-American, Arab Semitic-American, mixed European Caucasian American, Asiatic-American, Indo-Hindustani American, etc.
I enjoy dining on traditional African American cuisine, including greens and sweet potato pie. My white Southern grandmother cooked the same food, but I feel racist when I eat it. If I call Southern cooking African American cuisine, it relieves my shame over being white.

1. A show on FOX that like ecstasy, gives its rabid viewers an existential high of sorts, but destroys brain cells. The program is a ratings cow for FOX. Also, the program is a cash cow for hospitals around the world, as the program's audience makes weekly visits to hospitals for CT (or CAT) Scans on their brains, to check for permanent damage to brain cells.
2. A FOX show that John Connor & his resistance army fights against, in order that America & the show's international viewers may survive Judgment Day by the robots the show has produced. Thanks to John Connor, the Terminators (the program's winners) are eventually removed from the music scene, except for maybe Kelly Clarkson (?). The program's Terminators are about the same purpose: sounding all the same, sounding studio-produced & not authentic, not showing much depth in their lyrics as they sing about a bad/broken relationship for the nth time, & making people need hearing aids b/c of damaged eardrums. The only solution is to join John Connor & the resistance army, & go back in time to convince Simon whatever his name is, to not go forward w/ the show idea.
3. A FOX show that pimps out potentially quality vocalists, to be the next carbon copy of its predecessors. Baby powder sales have gone up, due to the high volume of people that the show's judges have to keep in line off camera.
4. A FOX show with singing puppets. The show was originally suppose to be on PBS, but Oscar the Grouch spoke out & said he didn't want Sesame Street to suffer the embarrassment of bein' associated w/ the garbage that is American Fraud-ol.
1. Adam: Bro, did you catch American Fraud-ol last night?
Steve: You kidding bro? I don't want to have to wait for the day when stem cell research is approved, in order to repair damaged brain cells from subjecting myself to the weak sauce that is American Fraud-ol.
2. Jane: Girrrrrllll. I voted for Paul on American Fraud-ol last night! Who'd you vote for?
Jill: I aint down w/ American Fraud-ol! Thanks Jane for reminding me that I have to go to the "Resistance Army Career Center" to see what it'll take to defeat the American Fraud-ol Terminators.
3. Mariah: I'm goin' to Hollywood!
Nick: Be careful boo! Hollywood is havin' a problem w/ American Fraud-ol pimps. If you see people w/ Johnson's® Baby Powder, run!
4. Miss Piggy: I wish I could be the next American Fraud-ol!
Oscar the Grouch: Grrr. I'm glad American Fraud-ol doesn't know how to get to Sesame Street or anywhere in its vicinity. PBS made the right decision!

One of the best films of all time. Definitely the best anti-racist film ever. This movie teaches no one is right and no one is wrong. A great movie.
Guy 1 - "American History X changed the way I think of other races and racism in general."
Guy 2 - "Shit, I better check that movie out."
Guy 1 - "Yeah, you should you fucking racist bitch."

Asian FOB’s (Fresh Off the Boat) primarily carry strong family values and are hard workers. They know the beauty and the importance of their culture and its ancestry.
But sometimes FOB’s fall victim to the worst ways of the American culture and life style rather than the good parts and become Americanized, thus losing their hard working nature, their selflessness, and their love for the traditional family values.
Once a FOB has been Americanized there is no turning back. ‘Selflessness’ becomes SELFISHNESS. The once beautiful ‘Hard Working Nature’ becomes laziness.
‘Traditional Family Values’ are often lost into the oblivion of desire for material wealth and the yearning to lose their “FOB-ness” through slang English words, listening to only American music, and disregarding the coolness of their cultural heritage.
Jenny Yoon: “That song by Ice Cube is off da hook!”
Delroy: “I’m glad you like Ice Cube and other Black music. But can you enlighten me about some Korean musicians and singers?”
Jenny Yoon: “Hell naw! I don’t listen to that ching-chong shit.”
Delroy: “Oh, I thought most Asians have an appreciation for their culture.”
Jenny Yoon: “Well, your Black culture is way cooler than mine. Hip Hop is gold, baby!”
Delroy: “Jenny, isn’t your real name Jung-hye Yoon?”
Jenny Yoon: “Yeah, but I changed my name to Jenny cuz it’s just easier. I’ve been in da states for like 3 years now.”
Delroy: “Oh, I see. So, you’re an Americanized Asian FOB. How many boyfriends have you had since you’ve been here?”
Jenny Yoon: “I lost count. I think I’ve had like 12 boyfriends.”

The awesomest game ever to grace this fair earth. In it, one choses an American Girl: Kirsten, Felicity, Addy, Molly, Samantha or Josefina (2nd Edition), and one makes plays based on the chosen character.
After choosing a girl, there are specific sets and side-characters that belong to them, based off the books. For example, if you chose Felicity, Jiggy-Nye can also be in your play.
This game is good because it lets you use scandalous words like "boobs" and "poop" without restraint. Also, you can make the people talk in either "British" or "American" Robot voices, which is so cool!
In American Girls Premiere, if you type in the word "booger" the robot voice says "boojer;" it is so awesome!!!
American Girls Premiere is the reason I keep living.
