Well in the KKK topic on page 5 "What racist groups?

The KKK sign is used by KKK groups that are NOT racist."

So that means the groups that don't use the sign are the racist ones right?


The KKK sign is used by KKK groups that aren't racist.

Did I say they weren't used by ones that were? No.

I simply said non-racist KKK groups use the sign (I didn't imply the racist ones didn't)


You can't just treat "Negro" as the official name for black people.....
Why not?


Also I don't refer to a black person as a " Negro" thank you very much for that stereotype........
So, what's the difference between a Negro and a Black?

I am an African American. I don't like being called Negro and we all have our preferences. Even though In Spanish "Negro" means black, you notice how no one uses that to describe black people and how I don't use that to describe black people =/

I am an African American.
My friend is White as an egg and can be considered an African American. He's from South Africa.

If you trace anyone back far enough - we're ALL from Africa.

Therefore - African American means nothing to me and I won't use it.


I don't like being called Negro and we all have our preferences.
I don't like being called anything but Grandmaster Lamprecht - you going to refer to me as that?
I don't want to be considered "Caucasian" but "Aryan" - you going to do that?

If you didn't know "Black" used to be an insult to Negroes.

How many times do you change your name? Colored, Negro, Black, and now African-American?

What's next?


Even though In Spanish "Negro" means black, you notice how no one uses that to describe black people and how I don't use that to describe black people =/
I use it to describe Blacks and it has been used historically (And the origin is Portuguese - though similar to Spanish)

Well of course everyone came from Africa! The first bones of early humans were found there. The point is, no one uses the term negro anymore. You just want to be hard headed and cause up unwanted controversy by saying Negro instead of blacks. Well unfortunately no one calls the whit race  Grandmaster Lamprecht in this day and age. They do however say black and not negro. It's not the word that gets me, it's more of the fact that you think you can say it without others getting at you. I don't know if you have said it to random blacks or whatever but there are people that just rather be called black. Also stop doing it again, stop making me out as if a race is a whole.

Well I wouldn't know because my name isn't "African American"

Answer that - WITHOUT the use of history of terms.

Negro is a race.
I will refer to the Negro race as Negroes.

I've said it to people (Blacks too) and they don't care as much as you.

The name of your race.

The name of your race.

Again, it's not the word that I care about, it's the fact that you would rather use it in this day and age. It would really make you stand out =/

It only makes me stand out because people that you see don't use it.

What makes that the same in my area?

The majority around here are Hispanics - Negro is BLACK in SPANISH - so then would it be too hard to assume?

Cracker either means poor White from the south, White from Georgia, or a White in general.

I am White - but I'm not Georgian or poor.


But if you're going by the White definition - I am.

Especially my ancestors - the "Whip Crackers" - the origin of the term.

and I happen to give Blacks a lot in school.
And they do not give YOU anything?


Most of my friends at school are Negroes...
And?


Sweden and Norway - being almost solely White (except for asylum-seeking muslims) gave more foreign aid than any other nations in the UN.
No they gave more as % of GNI.

In raw dollar amount the top 3 donors are US, Germany and France.

Also the countries receiving aid are not usually the poorest and Africa received just 15% of the total aid.

in the past 10 years they received even less

The fact though is that YOU are not Swedish or Norwegian and you have never lived there yet so it is funny how you try to get credit for what they do there.
