Indeed it is. I grew up in dc; I have my own prejudices, trust me.

 

right, but you're proud of a prejudicial feeling against a group of people. that doesn't seem very cool.

 

I said: "(...)proud to own up to my prejudice..."

Very big difference-

 

Cool- now at least we're beginning to have a sincere dialogue. :cheers2:

 

oh! me jumping to conclusions again, eh? sorry. my bad. owning up is good.

 

For it’s the first step towards conciliation, and more important those reparation dollars flowing in :cheers2:

I honestly don't give a fuck what people think about what I think. I just thought I'd let everybody know a little something about myself.

 

Technically your wrong... I'm a Scandinavian Celtic European American Indian.

 

scandanavia, and the celtic lands, are part of europe now.

and, since you aren't directly FROM the celtic lands, or scandanavia (at least, I doubt you are first generation) based upon your argument early in the thread....

ooh

bullet footed

I'm sorry, I am just feeling malicious today.

 

Best post in this whole thread! :cheers2:

 

I wish I was closer to my ancient roots.

All of the European blood in me is from islands and I'm a sliver Native American.

 

I am directly from the celtic lands AND Scandinavia. And Canada. Im all north, baby.

 

as I understand, the UK is not part of "mainland" Europe.

 

Oh yeah huh. My bad, so I'm not technically from any part of mainland Europe then.

 

but, based on your initial argument, regardless, you are white american, or at least really pale american.

your dual standard is undercutting the sinking sands you stand upon.

 

Thanks - truer words have never been spoken

There’s also a small clip from the 60s in which black school children are asked what nationality are they and they all proceed to say “my nationality is afro-american” good stuff

don't feel bad, Cate almost isn't either.

 

Of course I'm white American, I should have made my post more clear. I don't care about classification bullshit... I'm just saying if you Have to classify people, MOST black people aren't African American, they are both black and American.
