Cease the use of "African American", and in its place utilize "American of African Heritage".

Created by J.W. on March 03, 2015

My President, and Administration, I implore you to take a look at what separates Americans, and I ask that you start to heal the many racial divides by deleting our racial identifiers. As a so called African” American, and in its place put “American” first then the identifier after i.e. of African Heritage. Take notice to how we are identified around the world, versus in our own country. When we “Americans” are abroad we are identified as “Americans” First then to what our ethnicity, race, religions, and creeds are after. I ask this of our, my own country. Why can’t we say first we are Americans versus African, or European, American. My goal is to allow your office to help mend the years of racial prejudice and unite all Americans to be Americans Frist.
