pajarito 0 #3 December 8, 2004 In 1968, after winning the Gold Medal in the heavyweight division of the Olympics, George walked around inside the ring waving a miniature American flag. When asked, "Why,?" George said, "I wanted everyone in the world to know I was an American and proud of the opportunity that I was given to do what I had done." George Foreman Not African American........AMERICAN. That's one of the reasons I like George Foreman. During that time, when there was so much devisiveness on both sides, George was a true American.

It's more of a cultural reference than a racial/national origin one. It's to acknowledge that someone can be of African origin, Irish origin, Italian origin, etc... and yet still be American; it's a way to say that we're all very different, but because we're all American, there's a sameness about us too. Just because your family has settled (or been resettled) in another country, it doesn't mean you have to stop acknowledging your roots. In all honesty, though, I don't really think it matters much how people identify themselves, in the overall scheme of things. It's just a label. If you like it, use it. If not, don't.
