Still refers to you as colored? What pc term would you like? I'd prefer to just say American; but, since everyone wants to differentiate.. One never knows what the next person is going to be offended at. I got three versions of it on my block. So get over yourself.

How about just American?

I don't want any label, p.c. or otherwise. I'm an American, I am a man, I work hard, pay my taxes, and I don't need some backwoods, end of a rope or waterhose derogatory term still applied to me today in the 21st Century.

Just because you get it on your block doesn't mean that you need to use it. It is offensive. So before you go saying "get over yourself", why don't you join us in the now? I don't have time to deal with ignorance of the past, especially when it reappears in the present.

So personally, whatever you call me, go away, far away, before you do it.
