Apparently not, if Grind, Billy and Damo knew, then Mason would be banned.
Why do racists run like their ass is on fire from being called a racist?

Yes and you stopped because of people being mean to you. So I sent a mail to your AOL account asking you to come back.Originally Posted by Havana Moon
She calls me Gladys and I call her Doris. I do know her real name, she would love for me to use it just so that she could ban me. What is truly ironic though, back in the day, I actually begged her to come here after we were all cut adrift from the old Netscape boards.

I posted at Full Politics and came to this board before you did. I think you are mistaken in this claim.
I saw your post quoted by Top and had to correct your error. I posted here and there as froggie.

They were posting there at the time you linked to the thread. It's their thread. It's their "forum"
They're the only ones posting there. They talk about it all the time here. She counts...lol
It's fine. I'll take care of it with someone else eventually. I do thank you for pointing it out, though...I would have missed it...
The Dems include black people who have legitimate claims of racism, the Dems do have other ideas, take some time and read their platform. Take some time and talk to black people about their concerns, they are real.
And why exactly is it common parlance, since Americans come in all sorts of shades and colours, depending on chance and which families' genes come out strongest? Because of obsessive, very silly racism perhaps, or manipulation of the mugs for the advantage of the rich?

Heh, she's still obsessing over our Goodreads group that she's banned from. And sure that Mason and I need banning too.
Just like Amazon, only this time it's harder to manipulate the mods. Sheesh.

Do you think people of colour is any different to coloured people. Do you Shirley Bassey gives a shit what she is called?

Which of course you "know" because Toxic told you. LOL
the same reason white people is common parlance, or Hispanic or whatever.
at our best we acknowledge race ( foolish not to) but sublimate it just like regionalism etc in favor of inclusiveness
It's when it's used as a divisive force that causes friction or even hate..
And I'm not excusing true white racists -they are what they are,
but the entire Democratic party depends on divide and conquer to advance it's agenda

In reality, we only "talk about it" when *you* bring it up. Otherwise, other than the first week we were here and I posted the link to our Goodreads group in case any JPPers were interested, and was rightfully accused of poaching (lol), you're the one who brings it up constantly. Obsessed much? Someone from there apparently posted a link to a thread mocking you, and was banned by the JPP mods. I'm not going to ban everyone in our group because you're so offended.
If only you'd tell the truth now and then, you might get the mods to believe your pitiful tale of woe.

I believe its roots stem from centuries ago. In my lifetime, people of African heritage were called "colored people" (except when they were called by the n-word). The rise of the black power movement came in the 1960s. The word "black" was used proudly by its adherents to describe themselves. They used it to embrace their beauty, power, heritage. Currently the PC term often used by the media to refer to a black person is "African-America." I don't know if that's used much though by regular people; I've never heard a single person in real life call herself that.
Maybe some day there will be a future like you imagine, where skin tone isn't the first descriptor we use when discussing someone.
The only white persons I've ever seen were dead, and 'black' people - in America anywsay - are mostly a very light brown except where it is very hot, because so much of their genetic makeup is European. President Obama, for instance, was half and half, which made him a wonderfully representative President. All sorts of racist crap was once common parlance, as with so much else back in the Dark Ages. Time to move on now?
i'm all in favor of a color blind society where people are "judged on the content of their character" ( MLK) -
but it doesn't work that way. I wish it did.
People call themselves by what they are called. I have relatives who actually name themselves as 'Taffy' on the internet. I kick up when igt is used, racist people don't like it, but they begin to think that, just perhaps, other people are people. Getting rid of 'the N word' was not enough: you have to root out racism.
It's way too profitable.
Some people dudge Groups and Individuals, based on where they were born ...
Yea ... just look at who's profiting on Ignorance in The White House ....
