I’m not yet ready to cede the term “American” to those who would support genocide.

    Yeah, I use USAmerican to differentiate it from the rest of the American nations.

    AmeriKKKan is also acceptable.

    USA has a horrible history of genocide and disruption and imperialism and all that of course—still have found “AmeriKKKa” to be cringe for some reason IDK why

    Maybe cuz folks who’ve used it haven’t been eloquent or something? Seriously not sure here, again USA has committed countless crimes and def has Ku Klux Klan in its history

    I mean… Japan isn’t called Japan in Japanese either. Unfortunately we don’t speak Mayan, or Incan, or Cherokee, or etc.…
