    Are you suggesting that American blacks just by being born black has specific African traits? What do you mean by roots?

    Please give it a minute or two before you respond to my post and see the edit above.

    And you can answer my question, should you feel up to it....

    One of his parents is African, he was born in Africa. So why don't you go ahead and explain to us what his heritage is then...

    Root as in root word.

    heritage (n.)
    1200, "that which may be inherited," from Old French iritage, eritage, heritage "heir; inheritance, ancestral estate, heirloom," from heriter "inherit," from Late Latin hereditare, ultimately from Latin heres (genitive heredis) "heir" (see heredity)

    And he has immigrated to America and having been born in Africa that makes him a true African-American.

    And if I'm not mistaken he still retains his African citizenship

    If I were African I would be proud of Elon’s accomplishments. He’s the most accomplished South African to have ever lived.

    Maybe, but that does not mean he has African American heritage as you claimed.

    Maybe. Depends on how you define accomplishments. I would argue that Nelson Mandela did some fairly incredible things for humanity as a whole.

    He's not. You are misusing the word heritage.

    I would argue that American blacks have zero African heritage. Or at least the ones I’ve met that were born here are just Americans. Black American culture is far different than African culture.

    So do you have some evidence that has African parent does not have African heritage?

    You are treading water uphill with the wind against you on this one

    Okay. I am not sure what that argument has to do with anything I said.

    You're the one claiming he doesn't have African-American heritage when he has an African parent and he immigrated here from the country of Africa.

    But way to try to back pedal now...

    I know what you're trying to get at but unfortunately for you black people do not hold the patent on African-American heritage

    Correct. He does not have African American heritage. Neither of his parents were American.

    He was born in Africa to an African parent and moved to America.

    You're saying that heritage is s passed down. You admit he has an African parent that means he has African heritage passed down from his African parent

    Yet he lives in America. Are you going to deny him his American citizenship?

    For some reason this seems very important to you

    Why would I "deny him his American citizenship"?

    Asia is a continent not a race. Asia has more then 300 ethnic group.

    I don’t give a f&&& if Chinese are racist or not or Asian are racist or not. I am American and this fox news story is as racist as it gets.

    Have a nice day. I have ZERO interest debating this topic with you. I know exactly what you are.

    Chinese is an ethnicity, not a race.

    Go scamper off then. Go latibulate in a corner and spot racism in the clouds.

    And we know exactly what you are...
