Are you a "white" American?
Have you been feeling left out, neglected, and dissed because all the
Americans-of-color have fancy hyphenated group-names like
African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Latino-Americans,
and of course THE BEST AND MOSTEST hyphenated group of all, the
NATIVE-Americans?
Well, the Democratic Party of Hyphenated Americans care about your
feeeeeelings. So now whities also get a hyphen!!!!

The official 2012 Democratic Convention
website<http://www.demconvention.com/ethnic-americans-come-together-to-promote-engagement-in-diverse-communities/>is
calling on all "European and Mediterranean Americans" to "come
together"! Here's the article:
*European and Mediterranean Americans met in the Ethnic Council meeting at
Charlotte Convention Center on Monday, September 3 to discuss the
engagement and empowerment of grassroots communities in the political
process.*
*The Ethnic Council is a coalition of leaders representing Democrats who
have organized among diverse backgrounds, faiths, ethnicities and
demographic or geographic origins. At the convention, they are coming
together to support President Barack Obama’s re-nomination and discuss
strategies for increasing grassroots participation.*
*The personal stories of the delegates reflected American diversity and
shared heritage. Members offered ideas about connecting with specific
communities as they work to keep our country moving in the right direction.*
*Maryland State Senator Jim Rosapepe, an Italian-American, is excited to
re-nominate President Obama. Senator Rosapepe said, “I think he stands for
the values we grew up with: family, education, and community. When
Italian-Americans came, we had to stand together. Italian-Americans got
ahead by the way others got ahead, by standing together.”*
Don't you feel more American now that you also have a hyphen?
Phew! I'm so relieved now that the Democrats have put every American into
neat little boxes in accordance with our race, ethnicity, and continent of
origin -- no matter how many generations it was since your ancestors had
left that continent!
But wait. Weren't we told back in 2008 that that half African-, half
European-American POS would be America's first *post*-racial president?
