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".

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.

What book did you learn to read from? Tintin?

Would it be ok to post a picture from the "Aapinen" which was used to learn to read in Finland at least untill early 90's?

We also had a candy called "N-words kiss" untill something like 2005.

Looks like it was 2001 when the name changed. Time flies...

I think it's a general American thing, not related to one race. People say Irish-American, Italian-American and more besides.

OT. It is racists to assume the new neighbours are the ones with weed if if it's because they are of a certain race. If I hadn't witnessed much or any weed presence in the neighbourhood and then there's this correlation of a bag of weed lying around and new neighbours just moved in I'd be suspecting the new neighbours regardless of race, culture, age, sexual orientation, gender, family status or professional background.

You cannot trust someone who has come clean? Trying to turn my life of hate and confusion around? What kind of person cant accept an apology? Clinton apologized and now we love him. He can do no wrong.

But you are still a racist. Sure, you are honest. But from my experience, the honest racists are the worst kind. No decent man should trust you with anything valuable.



Are you comparing me to the KKK who are open about being racist? That is offensives!

The KKK don't claim to be racist. They claim to simply know the truth about what the place of each race is in the world, and that the black races need to be restricted and controlled for their own good. Are you speciesist for knowing that non-human animals are less advanced than humans? No. KKK members believe the same about whites with respect to black...and Jews I imagine.

You are to racism as a new member of AA is to alcoholism.

Someone from the KKK is to racism as an alcoholic in denial is to alcoholism.

However, are you determined to continue to struggle to remove racists thoughts from views from your character or are you going to fall off the wagon and slip back into racial profiling? If you will continue to struggle to improve your instinctive thoughts towards people of other races then you are on the path to being a much better person; I hope this is the path you choose. I struggle against having instinctively prejudiced thoughts all the time, but I continue to try to improve until every last vestige of prejudicial thought is wiped from my mind.

So there are white people and african americans in USA. Why not european american and african american or just black people and white people? I'm spanish and in Spain they used to call black people "colored" which I think it's very ridiculous. Is it that difficult to just say the name of the skin's color? lol...People just can't get over some things...

I've been watching you, Spurgeon. I've been watching you for a while. Yeah, you have some points of view that could be considered racist but you're harmless. You remind me of the cute white girls from high school that would ask questions that were semi-offensive but they don't seem to come from a place of hate. Instead, it's just from a place of misunderstanding. You're okay with me. You just have some learning to do. Seems like you've been sheltered from "the real world" and now, you've been thrust into it. I'd hang out with you. You could use the guidance of a non-stereotypical black guy (and hey, it's cool to call us black) like me.

Poor weed, what did it ever do to you?

That is God's gift to man, which is why it grows naturally. You should have smoked it.

How would you like it if someone just threw you in the trash?
