African American

Just don't call me late for dinner.

 

Sorry, I only answer to "Sweet Pants".

Your loss...

 

On second thought I prefer "Sweet Cheeks."

 

duly noted.

 

Or "Supreme Ruler of the Polyverses."

Either one.

 

I wouldnt expect that, way to fucking many syllables

 

It's cool so long as I don't have to say it.

 

just call me crummy american or rummy american

 

I don't see how I failed to prove a point. And I'm only half Canadian :tongue:

 

ACTUALLY, you are Canadian American, eh.

 

Okay, Okay okay

ALL people can trace their ancestry to Africa. Everyone.

Carribean Islanders were NOT born in Africa

African American is about six syllables too long and fifty times too infuriating

 

Are you suggesting we revisit the word Negro


Hotwater

 

I suggested hot pants

 

no one said they were born in africa. but carribbean islanders are darker skinned now thanx to the mingling of slaves and natives. they are mullatos.

 

Black people need a title that is concise and rolls off the tongue. It will make communication so much easier. And in the last 100 years we've gone from colored, to negro to black to hyphenated political correctness that doesn't work on non-Americans (I've never heard of a Franco-African, but I met a lot of black people in France). It's obvious they're confused and need someone to choose a permanent name for them.

How about we just call all black people...





...Fred.

 

why shouldn't a person of african decent be proud to be an american? other, that is, then why in the hell should anyone, of any decent, be proud of a country that has forgotten how to do anything other then being thoroughly and effectively destructive?

so what would you prefer to call a person who'se ancestors, as everyone's ultimately may have, came from africa, who lives now, and may have for decades lived, in america? what would such a person prefer to be called or to call themselves?

perhaps simply person.

the rationale of identifying anyone by skin tone or ancestry, is of course, highly questionable at best. but it is, a readily observable physical charicteristic. and because of this, one that is perhapse all to often noted one way or another, both in passing, and in the context and context of oppertunities in which people find themselves living their lives.

the phraise "person of african ancestory", "who is an american citizen" or "living in america" doesn't exactly roll off the toungue. and common, briefer, epitaphs, carry absurdly and unconscounably negative baggage.

james brown said "i'm black and i'm proud" which is all well and fine, yet even that can be, and all too often is construed as having or implying negative context, so what was the proposed alternative to, and the objection to "african american" again?

i seem to have missed it.

Niggers use ******. Other Americans are too politically correct.

 

We either call them (translated into our own language ofcourse): '******', 'black' or by their name.

 

Except for African Europeans, nodoby says that because it sounds absolutely ridiculous.

 

*sigh*
