African American "culture"

[Bono]

How is not African-American? He's a lot more African than American blacks.

His ancestors are from Europe, and he lives in Canada.

So? He was born in Africa. As for him living in Canada- well, that would disqualify all American blacks from being considered "African-American", wouldn't it?

The African part refers to the race. And what is American about Richius?

So berbers aren't african?

incidentally you really should read Ayn Rand, opebo. You might start to re-think your worldview there. And there's even sex scenes in some of her books ).

I read all of Rand's writings in my early teenage years. 

Re-read them (all of them, at least the big fiction works). And then  pick up Heinlein (he's got some real odd ideas, and he's a bit subtler). Or go serious economics - read some stuff by Hayek, or possibly 1960's-era Greenspan. Anything to knock some sense into your head .

Why would anyone read a 1000 page book twice??
