idk desert, i'd like to think so, but have my doubts..
Now you're just being deliberately obtuse.
First, people are black...negro is black. If it is offensive people should just respect that and be polite and stop using the word. Could the races be different in actuality? I think they are, I am not a racist. If saying something like blacks are fast runners for instance is over the line than have we become too sensitive. I am of mixed race and religion and statistically have aptitudes.....so what? These shouldn't be taboo to discuss in my opinion. Saying praise about race is racist? It is dishonest to ignore and as long as hate or disrespect are not involved I don't see the problem. I think at the very least it can be a discussion.
but we were having so much fun here.
That same family mentality can apply to any group that has something in common. Its still valid. I can talk shit to my friends as much as I want. You, however, have no right to do the same.
well that's why when someone asks me to describe someone i don't include usually include race as part of the description in a social setting..however for work and patients obviously you would describe a patient/case as white male, 42, blah, blah, blah.
lol. yes, very true, i got about 3 pages into the thread, some of these guys really get defensive about political correctness, almost as if they are deliberately trying to hide their racist tendencies.
Yet it's so outdated that that they included negro in the 2010 census because of the old outdated people who still wanted to be classified as negros. How can something be outdated if there are still people wishing to be classified as that?
My friend half caste Paul gets upset when folk tell him he should refer to himself as mixed race.
"A Negro" is not a slur. Some people just like to whine. "Black" was considered a slur up until the late 70's, now "colored", once the preferred adjective, is considered offensive. But "Negro" has never been commonly considered a slur.
White South Africans who immigrate to America sometimes call themselves African-Americans.Yes, but not African-Americans. I'll see your literalism and raise you some more literalism!

By that definition, a small percentage of abortions are done on babies who are able to function outside the womb. Hell, some "abortions" are preformed on babies already outside the womb and fully functioning, other than not being able to vote.
They owned both Africans and blacks. You don't get to make up your own history
how old would you have to be to be able to function outside of the womb as an independent being red? i'd think, maybe 5 months minimum, and more likely 6 or so, no?
