Dear Racer X,

Who is more African-American: James Stewart or Grant Langston?

Paul Nash


Dear Paul,

Here's the answer to question #1

The answer to your first question is Grant Langston. James Stewart is an American; nothing more and nothing less. I don’t go around telling people that I’m a Norwegian-English-American. If James was born in Zimbabwe and could speak in that odd bush language with all the pops and clicks then I might give him the African-American thing. But the only thing popping and clicking on James now is going to be his knee. Langston, on the other hand, was actually born and raised in Africa. He only got his green card a few years ago, so GL could definitely be considered an African-American, or a South African-American.

But Green Card doesn't mean you're a citizen just a permanent resident. You actually have to go take the test to become a citizen.

Lenny, you already started this topic on another board. Are you aching to fish that bad?

I don't see any fishing here, just calling something what it really is. I don't always agree with ping but he is spot on with this one.

I couldn't agree more with what Ping said. Trust me, Lenny is fishing.

If James lived in Compton and worked at the car wash, he'd be African American...

No, he wouldn't. He'd be Gary Coleman's co-worker!

I live in Compton until I was 2 or 3 years old. Does that mean I am African American?
If you live in Compton today, there is a good chance that you would be Hispanic.

That'll make you just as dumb as Ping. I guess when Langston was called "The Zulu Warrior" that was true too..Whistling

I'm all for going along with PC language, I don't care. But this one made us work harder.. Smile

African American was meant to replace "black." It didn't mean white people born in Africa.

I had a hard time adapting to that one because it's too much work to say.

I had a buddy in college that was from South Africa and he was able to get the special financial aid only available to Black Americans. Pissed off a lot of people and there was even an article about it in the student paper. He was also able to pretty much have his pick of law schools because of Affirmative Action and ended up choosing Yale. The asshole couldn't even get me out of a speeding ticket last year... but it was for 103 in a 65.

GL was not even born in America, Ping is wrong, period. Stewart is African American by race, he is American born and raised. GL is South African and would be a citizen if he applied/passed his tests or married a US citizen. GL will never be African American.

He married an American. So he would have citizenship. I think.

Nope. He would be able to hold a green card. He still has too take the test.

Nawwww, I didn't discover plutonium. I just discovered a race pimp pandering for attention with the same message on each board. Al Sharpton of Motodrive indeed.
