African-American or Black?

I use black (or "blah") in informal settings, and this includes when I am with black friends. I use African-American in formal settings.

Why not just call them what the call themselves on all those filthy hip-hop albums ?

I usually say black because some people aren't Americans. Say my Ethiopian friend. He's black. I wouldn't call him an African-Ethiopian, and certainly not an African-American.

I don't call them anything......they don't refer to me a 'white' and I don't refer to them a 'black'........I just say , "Hey Michael" or "Jackson" or Big Guy", whatever they prefer.......we use names like normal people.

Absolutely. Why not? I suggest you do it, on a crowded street, at lunchtime, in the middle of traffic. It'll be the last thing you remember. LOL

Its what YOU and YOURS wanted, pinhead.....whites didn't name you African-American....that was your idea.....whites don't demand Polish-American, Irish-American,
German-American, etc.......

Their was nothing wrong with Negro in the first place......then you wanted "black".....then it was African.......and you're about as African as I am......

Now its nutty first names like Rasheed, Chiamaka, Tamasha, and Teshi to seperate yourselves further from main stream America.....its what you do to yourselves that

separate your from the rest of the country.....you practically have your own language.....the reason you can't get decent normal jobs ....

Let that racism flow....it feels good to get it out, don't it? Nutty first names? You mean like Biff, and Buffy, and Billie Jo, and Bobbie Sue, and Matt, and Wynona, and Mitt? Right.

There are a lot of people in America who agree with you. Like I stated the genesis for my OP was seeing several black friends commenting on it. I've heard white people say they don't like the hypenated terms but it really caught my attention when black people were saying it.

Yeah, that's true. There's a lot of people in America who agree with him.

They're called white dudes.

BTW Cawacko, a lot of people in America agree with this piece of shit too.

They're called the Klu Klux Klan.

Yep, we got all kinds of Americans who agree with all kinds of shit. Maybe we can export them to Tom! Tom, what do you say? You want em?

Because I'm not a Grand Wizard like you. And dont think I don't know you're full of shit. You call black men sir if you ever run into one. Anyone with this much racial hate is scared. This is all fear.

I was out Friday night at Happy Hour, and the funniest thing happened. I heard some loudmouth behind me yapping away. Talking revolution! There's gonna be one. But "we" have all the guns. Liberals don't believe in guns. There's going to be a slaughter. I turn around to get a look at him, and literally could not stop laughing. He was exactly what I picture all you big loudmouths here to look like. White hair, what he had of it, little puffs, these hysterically spindly arms, short, a real Harvey Milktoast who has spent his whole life getting sand kicked in his face. I should have taken a picture to post here!

Hilarious.

But not a real man by any stretch of any woman's imagination. Just like you and Dy and the rest of you scared little loser keyboard commandos.

I've seen this name: "La-a". It is pronounced "la dash ah".
 
I amazing when you point out the truth of the issue and put reality into words all they can do is call you names.....I tell the truth as it really is and I'm automatically called a bigot and racist.....yet they will not attempt to deny the truth of what I post......

I don't coddle my black acquaintances and they don't coddle me.....we treat each other with civility and with the respect we've earned from each other over time......I have no problem with them and they have no problem with me.
so Darla the pinhead can kiss my tush.....

I know. However, the posts will be moved when I have time. I'm not thinking of sanctioning anybody or doing anything more than that. I just thought I'd tell you what I'll be doing with the posts. This always happens when things like the Alias Ban and your ban and subsequent lifting with apology... I'm going to try to limit the visceral nonsense to the War Zone if I can... of course I need to have some actual time to do those things...

:D
