(1) It suggests we voluntarily colonized Native American land. (2) It is a hyphenated immigrant identity that erases the memory of slavery, crimes, damages, and financial debt owed to Black American slave descendants by the majority. (3) It was imposed upon us by self-hating blacks and their white financiers to achieve racial equality via assimilation and miscegenation, which are nonviolent forms of genocide. The U.S. is steering Black Americans toward racially mixed whiteness as is the case in Latin America. (4) African-American imposes a philosophy upon Black American slave descendants to hate our blackness. Black equality with whites and immigrants is antithetical to American society. African-American trains us to believe and act as though we are not equal unless we cease to be black in the presence of an immigrant majority either by name  or label or by racial composition and physical features.   less
