Politically correct CNN refers to black hostage taker in France as ‘African American’

Wait — did a CNN reporter actually call one of the Islamist terrorists, in France, “African American?”

.@CNN just described one of the hostage takers as "African-American" simply because he's black. What a dope. At least Anderson corrected him

WTF, @CNN? African-American? Get that analyst to some remedial sensitivity training!

@cnnbrk @cnn African American man? Ugh come on! Ridiculous

@CNN commentator just described the black French terrorist as an "African-American man". Quickly corrected by @andersoncooper

Hey @cnn the terrorist in Vincennes wasn't "African American" by any means.

.@CNN reports "we're told that the African-American man is dead" So now all blacks are American blacks? #derp

Someone tell @CNN that not all black people are African-Americans. Doubt a Frenchmen is also American. *SMH* @ericwojo @PolitiBunny

.@CNN is appearing to have a hard time deciding on what to call the Black hostage taker. "African-American" "African-decent man" "that man"

.@CNN & @ChrisCuomo a French man of African descent IS NOT an African American. Black skin doesn't mean culturally monolithic. #CharlieHebdo

I love how the press struggles to stay PC. "A black guy in France? We can't call him African American. Let's try 'African decent'!" ~ @CNN

@DLoesch Of course they did. Geography was never CNN's strong suit. Common Core geography…

@dloesch Yep, you heard it right. Same people who put Hong Kong in S. America on a graphic.

@DLoesch One doesn't have to be a Rhode's Scholar to work as a reporter for CNN. Obviously. #StopTheMadness #Morons #WhyIsCNNStillANetwork

@DLoesch Happens a lot! Director Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave) was called the 1st "African American to win Best Picture" (he's English)

@DLoesch they're so intune with their inner pc. @cnn
