Because back before this country became a clusterfuck of ignorant fuckheads, people use to proudly assimilate.. If anyone has a good argument for hyphenation, it is the Africans who REALLY ACTUALLY COME FROM THERE, because many of them never meant to be here in the first place... but it's no different, if you STILL want to hyphenate, go back to where you hyphenate to.

BTW calling someone colored is more offensive than calling them black. :):2 cents:

They should have just called it "n1gger hangin' day" and see if she likes that better?

NOT TRUE! Just ask The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Dumbass.

Canada is a communist country so this is what they are taught in school...

i was told that the reason why canadians are so dumb is because they were part of a massive inbreeding experiment back in the late 1800's..

i remember the last time i was in canada i asked this guy for directions and he said you go up 4 blocks and then make a left at potato, ripped off his pants and went running down the street making sounds like a fire truck siren..

and he was one of the smartest guys i met on that trip... :2 cents:

It works like the big bad N word... When some black guy says it without an er to another black guy or in a song, it's okay.

When some highly educated black professor says "people of color", it's okay.. If billy bob from the bait shop says "that colored boy won every hand tonight"... or pretty much if any other white person or non black person says or uses it, at all.. it's offensive.

Article suggests only 97%

I never said African Americana should be the standard word for all black people i was saying what I prefer to be called. I get your point but saying colored to me being from the south where my self have seen and been a victim of racism find offensive.

Oh for fuck sakes
Fine

And you can call me a Pollack American
And my woman can be an Italian American

From reading your post earlier if your white you seem like one of those white people that thinks all black people are lazy and gets everything handed to us. I didn't know blacks went to school for free last time i checked i had to get a loan and since i used my mothers tax return and she made too much also wasn't eligible for a pell grant i surely would like to know. Where to get that free money buddy...

I am sorry if it sounded that way. I really don't like ANYONE right now. White people aren't my favorite people, that is for sure, and I've got nothing against black folks. Black people have treated me better than white people have and that is for sure. They even accepted me and did business with me when white people wouldn't.

When I was putting my woman through school years ago she would whine about the "minority" students laughing about their grants and all of this while never showing up anyway.. and the management was telling her to come up with money because she "made too much" even though she had NO INCOME

From what I hear, nothing has changed, long as you're not white you get a pass.. I could be wrong about that but one thing I do know is that the white man is the big bad n word of the modern day and all I hear is whining from the people who I feel are getting the breaks.. that pisses you off after awhile

Like you're tired of white people stereotyping blacks.. I'm tired black people thinking that I have a gold spoon with honey flavored lube around my dick because I've got white skin...

I mean, shit, the breaks sure as fuck ain't coming to me or my family.. they must be going somewhere. And I know 99.9% of them are going to white bread white tie wearers who are well above all of us, anyway.

But when black people or any other minority want to talk about how wrong everything is, damn, it's annoying. Like this guy outside the poor clinic my woman has to go to, the other day, he's outside talking about how much he hates white people. "THIS A N* NEIGHBORHOOD, YOURS IS UP THAT WAY" ... well where the hell does he think I'm driving my $500 car home to? Beverly hills?

Do I read that article and say "them darn no good blacks are all like her" - Hell no

I just happened to comment on an individual doing something that's fuckin' annoying
And I still think you wanting to be hyphenated is annoying

But that doesn't make me racist

I understand truly everyone going through a hard time these days blacks and white my self took a break from school.. so i know the feeling but im making money in porn so im cool with this break less stress and more time focus on making more money:thumbsup

Sorry for being long winded.. I just am tired of not fitting anywhere.. when you're white and poor.. the people who can afford to be white treat like you have airborne contagious rapid spread aids virus.. and if you don't know any black people to do business with or spend time with, you've got just nobody

You get this "world is against me" feeling and then you hear some people (of any color) whining how bad it is for them and they're suing and they're being given breaks.... It's just not easy to accept

Yeah, exactly. It ain't easy for any of us. Racism is just another government tool of division. Divide people into racial groups. Into rival sports team fans. Into rival political parties. Into one sex against the other. And on and on and on.

The bottom line is that it's tough for us all. The govermment in the states is like the famous "bro club" you hear about on here. And WE ain't in it no matter what color we walk around in.

This is what happens when you allow idiots to run high schools

I once knew a "colored" guy from Canada. lol. He actually refered to himself as French! :1orglaugh

Those same idiots run this country!!! :1orglaugh

srsly. honky xians own us.

Idiots...

just think if was the other way around. we would be seeing mugshots on the front page.

I have two funny high-school stories that relate to this thread. The first is that during our talent show.. 5 of my white high school friends dressed up as the Jackson 5, they went to a thrift shop and purchased 70's clothing, got clown wigs and painted them black, and of course painted their faces and hands brown. They pulled into the school in the one guys mom's Pontiac Parisienne, blasting Cyprus Hill, and I think every black person in the school turned their head. When they got out of the car, someone realized that they were white and it appeared that everything was about to go to hell at that point, but a friend who was black stepped in, and told them that they didn't mean anything by it.. it was all in fun. So I think it depends on the context that its taken in.

The second story shows how we see color. In our school we had about a 20% black population, lots of Italians, Portuguese, and were just starting to get Indians. So in this one class we had 4 black people A set of twins (brother and sister), this one guy Ewan, and a friend named Kevin, (think Carlton from Fresh Prince) Now it should be noted that this was the early 90's when the hip hop culture was still finding its roots up here. And that many of the black people in the school we had gone to grade school with, spoke just the way everyone else did, and hadn't adopted the black culture yet.

So this one Italian guy makes a reference to Indians and uses the term Packy. At which point the teacher snaps on him and says "How dare you use a derogatory term in this class" and makes reference to the fact that the only reason that he used the term was due to the fact that there were no people of Indian descent in the class room. And says that he would never have used the N word due to the fact that we had 3 black people in the class. At which point Kevin puts up his hand and says.. "Uh Miss, which one of us are you forgetting?" Knowing full well .. it was him.

sheero in effect!

In the Marines we were all green, and we had dark green Marines and light green Marines and no one saw that as racist, at least not in the Corps :thumbsup

I was raised in a poor place filled with whites, hispanics, and black people. Everyone for the most part was fine with one another, we were all poor. I know some of you guys live in Tampa, If you know where the Rembrandt projects were in Port Tampa, I spent most of my childhood in that neighborhood. I hear that it's a lot better now because those projects were torn down, was rougher in the late 80's, early 90's.

This is my old addy from back in the day.
The map is a little off house wise but the street is right.

When I was like 15, my mom was able to get out of there and into a better area. I feel most of the racism on both sides comes from a generalized speculation of everyone based on past experiences with someone, or by listening to family/friends.

My best friend who happens to be black used to talk to me about racist shit he goes through on a daily basis. Let me share some of those points with everyone.

1. Quite a few people won't look him in the eye when hes walking down the street out of fear. Some others will give him dagger eyes out of fear.

2. Half of the time he gets followed around a store until he leaves. Some people think hes going to steal from them apparently.

Here is an example of what I am talking about.


3. When he goes to a party with his white friends he is usually the only black guy there. I don't think that is an intentionally racist thing, but its easy to feel out of place in a situation like that.

4. Police stopping him and giving him a hard time sometimes. Ive known em for 15 or so years he, isn't a liar.

He is a really awesome person and I truly feel bad for him to have to deal with shit like that on a daily basis. He has risen from nothing and now does lighting for some big events like cirque de sole, the ice skating shit, concerts, etc., does music and video work on the side, hes been a stunt cock for someone on this board as well lmfao. He went to Tampa found a way to get into college with almost nothing. the first week or two he lived out of his car and public restrooms. He is a fighter and a true inspiration.

With the above being said, I can see how some black people can become defensive over time. I'm not justifying it but I can understand it to an extent,. If you dislike all white people you're a racist as well though. Do I feel I should be attacked for using the word black? I don't, I've heard the term white boy get tossed around a lot. What about colored or the N word? Yeah I may deserve a punch to the face for that. You know what kind of a reaction you are after if you use those words. I think there needs to be more understanding from African Americans and Caucasian Americans. We are both to blame.

PS: I hope this wasn't offensive to anyone in any way, just sharing my personal views and experiences.

Sorry for the wall of text lol. :Oh crap
