I was watching the New Year's Eve New York Times Square Watch The Ball Drop shows on television last night as the various hosts were bantering back and forth to kill time and attempt to entertain us, when one of them mentioned that Raven Symoné said in an interview that she is not an African American, she is an American.

My first thought was, "thank you for standing up against the PC labels we've been suffering with for at least four decades."  To be honest, that was my second thought.  My first thought was, "Why was Dick Clark not immortal?" But I digress.
