Oh, come on. She's part of a two-income household that's about to lose one of those incomes. She was just being sensible.  | |||

A few years ago there were some riots in the surrounds of Paris France, seems the perps were from North Africa. The Paris local news called them "African-Americans", even though none had any connections to the US. Seems to me the libs have a contradictory, self defeating methodology. The more you focus on what makes people different, and discriminate based on differences, the more the differences (and contentions) will magnify, the more sociey will divide. If we truly want equality and social justice, we should focus on where we agree and where we are alike. Then society would come together. But it also seems to me unity and harmony is not the libs want. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

Fully agree. Only onto those who care anymore. It may be an age thing, but I just don't care anymore what these nitwits call me, or think of me. Their opinions are irrelevant and they're far too stupid to debate. And I would point out that 'Colored people' is simply a vague and somewhat inaccurate statement to those of us not in the 'triggered' crowd. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Good point. Because up until I read your post, I was scratching my head what the hubbub was. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

When I was teaching in Flint, Michigan at a school for “at risk” students, it was common for students refer to each other as N***r: I heard it non stop with nary a complaint all day. If fact, they called me “my n****r frequently as a term of endearment. As usual, a loaded word that can cause harm when used by either side.

I don't understand why it's okay to say "people of color" but not "colored people." But then, I don't care much for political correctness.

"colored people" bears negative connotations because of its previous popular use. "people of color" is woke. | |||

This cat has a made-up first (or is it first-middle?) name! Diallo is a Wolof name from Senegal, Sekou is a Fula first name (French spelling of Seku); the first mention (in Wikipedia_ is Seku Amadu, founder of the Massina Empire in Mali. I've lived with both Wolof and Fula people, they were cool. This cat is not. Phony as a three-dollar bill. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Not all caucasian people have light/white skin. It's a common misconception made almost irreversible by over a century of misuse of the word. _____________________________ 'I'm pretty fly for a white guy'. | |||

No shit, this bugs the crap out of me. I also respond to race on forms as either: None of their fucking business, Asian, or German American as a write in. I'm actually half Irish, half kraut :-) | |||
