[edit] Project image

This image of the United States filled with the Pan African Flag is used very liberally.

African Americans do not accept this flag as representing them. Why must African Americans be seperated from all other Americans?

It seems that this is a politically charged image to use, and by using it, we are advocating that African Americans accept a seperate nationhood to that of the United States.

I hope we will stop using this image and include African Americans with all Americans.

I didn't want to use the Pan African flag on Wiki project afro (WP:AFRO) since I know some people feel this way. I happy however that this project has a logo, and I would not remove the logo unless we have a better replacement. Do you have any ideas,80.229.242.179? What about a pair of crossed flags? Like those little pins people have? futurebird 00:31, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] African-American topics

I did some major revision to the topic listing. I thought by breaking it into categories it would be easier to navigate and find articles. I wasn't able to complete them all on this first shot...maybe more moves later. I do have a simple question: "Is the intent to add all articles related to African-Americans to this listing?"

[edit] African-American news

Someone need to keep this section updated. It doesn't look like anyone has done it since 2006. Maybe it should be deleted? Or maybe the responsibility could be delegated to wikinews?
