Okay Is There Anything Wrong?

Personally, I think the whole ****-American has gotten out of hand. You're born here so you're American.

Or I should go around insisting that people call me an Italian-German-English-American.

I agree.

I love looking at old pictures. My mom has a ton from her family. No one ever smiled and the photographer would 'enhance' their eyes, so they all look like they have these beady little eyes.

Cracks me up everytime I see them.

Perfect examples of how women innocently drift off topic. I can be having a serious discussion with my wife, over bills or the children, and halfway through she'll ::gasp:: and say, "look at that butterfly!"

It always cracks me up when everyone wants to claim they are part Native-American.

Why don't you ask your African-American friends why they are so sensitive?

Why don't you ask your African-American friends why they are so sensitive?

Well, my black friends aren't sensitive. I'm talking about the people I encounter, in passing, that I see on television news reports, that file complaints over the use of the word " rdly," that call each other ###### and non-blacks all sorts of derogatory names but demand they be called by a particular, very specific name...that changes on a whim or due to some perceived slight.

I wouldn't have a black friend that was that easily offended or that suscribed to the whole culture of victimhood that seems to drive these silly things.

But, when and why did Negro fall out of favor? Yes, ###### was a play off that word but, ###### and negro co-existed and were easily discerned by Black leaders of the day -- particularly after Rosa Parks refused to cede her seat on the bus.

Then, when and why did Colored fall out of favor? And, what happened to black?

Then, explain to me why black Americans feel they can hijack an adjective that might well describe as many white people as black? After all, there are many African immigrants that are white.

In fact, most self-proclaimed African-Americans come from places other than Africa.

Finally, why the do they care?
