This is a letter from U.S. Census Bureau Director kincannon 2005/6.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Economics and Statistics Administration U.S. Census Bureau Washington. DC 20233-0001 OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR Mar 3 1 2006 Mr. Bruce Ameil Williams 306 South Lorna Drive, #116 Los Angeles, CA 90017 Dear Mr. Williams: This is in response to your letters of February 27 and March 3, 2006, concerning the term "AFRIMERICAN." This letter confirms our letter of February 22, 2006, and our e-mail of November 9,2005, regarding the inclusion of "AFRIMERICAN" in the U.S. Census Bureau's Race Code List. Please be assured that the term "AFRIMERICAN" is coded to the Black race group. If you need further assistance, please contact Ms. Claudette Bennett, Chief, Racial Statistics Branch, on (301) 763-2404. Charles Louis Kincannon Director

This letter acknowledges the validity of the term Afrimerican. The E-mail it notes of Nov. 9, 2005 states all then current research on terms had been concluded for the 2010 Census but, Afrimerican would be included in the studies for the 2020 Census.

In addition to the above, Afrimerican has not always been redirected to African-American as was stated in the talk back section to my recent inquiry. It was only redirected after I refused to let Wikipedia staff redefine it.

Below is a copy of the last post I made before they began the redirection.

After this response it was redirected.

I said it then and I say it now, an African-American is a person born in Africa, an Afrimerican is a person born in the United States of enslaved African ancestry.

When this was first posted it was immediately marked for deletion, in fact I have had post deleted within 5 to 10 minutes, so the line about not being monitored is B.S.

Secondly, I have also accused Wikipediaof being funded, and directed by the C.I.A., and yesterday the news confirmed it.

Lastly, just as Wikipedia has seperate articles on Black, Colored, Negro, that it refuses to allow an article on Afrimerican is indicative of racist bias based on Whites wanting to control what, and how Afrimericans are identified, as opposed to being an open forum where matters of less relevance, but of, in White interest get Carte Blanche treatment.

I had this running debate with ikipedia staff in 2004 throughout 2005.....nothings changed
