Hmm... actually the first Americans were neither Europeans nor Africans. I believe, wait I know that Native Americans (people indigenous to America) were the first Americans. To me it is very sad that our tax dollars go to public schools and the children there cannot even learn which race is native to this land. A 14 year old kid, wait a 6 year old kid should know that Native American were living in American thousands of years before Europeans and Africans came to America.
