I don't see any racism there. In fact I think statistically there are more black drug dealers than white.

Proportionally, you're probably right, more drug dealers per capita for Black Americans, but that's just because they are disproportionately poorer.

Are black people in different countries called African *insert country name*. Also, do black people really prefer to be called "african american", or do they not care if you just say black. Maybe I'm not right in the head but to me it's almost more racist when people say "african american" because it's like they're going out of their way to not sound racist which in turn makes them more racist. When I played soccer on all black teams, or all brown teams I don't care if they call me white boy. I certainly wouldn't expect them to go out of their way to say "the canadian from romania".

Usually they are only called African-American if they are of American slave descent. Black people from, say, Haiti will want to be called Haitian Americans (which is why "American Slave" is the qualifier, as most Caribbean blacks are slave-descended too), or if they're from Africa, called Nigerian-American, Eritrean-American, etc. Since slave ancestry is so far back, its likely to be too mixed to sift out an individual African legacy, or even more simply the slavers didn't really keep records of where the slaves were acquired (though American slaves were usually from somewhere between Gabon and Guinea)

I'm Nigerian and this is my first time of hearing the phrase "Nigerian-American". I live in Nigeria, but I've got 3 uncles (thus lots of cousins) living in England and I visit them every other year. Anyway, as someone else said, unless you suggested that your race was somehow superior to theirs, you didn't act racist. Definitely stereotyped them though. I think there's a thin line between racism and stereotyping.

No, that is just USA thing. Everywhere else they are black.

In my country, the n-word is acceptable too.


The "N" word should never be acceptable.And yes,what he did or his GF did is racist.

That is subjective and a cultural thing.

When I was learning to read, the abc book had a black man with the N-letter. The n-word comes from the name of the subspecies(negroid) of human race.

Which N word are we talking about? Negro is still acceptable in a lot of countries (where you'll catch heat from calling black people negroes in America, but to a much lesser degree than "nigger.")

No it doesn't lol. It comes from the Portuguese/Spanish/Ibero-Romance word for black - Negro.

He asked me if I was his enemy now. Then he just logged off! Disgraceful

How rude! You can't just go around and ask if people are your enemies/tell them that they are. This is the 21st Century, for crying out loud!

First your Gamespot fiasco and now this?! Wow Spurge, what kind of perso- NO...what kind of MONSTER are you?!?!

I say the mods ban Spurge for this because it effects the forums. I don't think I can trust him any longer.

Your title says you are sorry. Yeah, I agree...you are a sorry man.



zippy on 14 January 2013

You are not a racist spurge, if you were you wouldnt be apologising for what you thought. Lesson for the day tho, never judge a book by its cover.

Most places here have 40 to 50 strains in stock at a time. Pretty chill.
