With all due respect:
BU** S#!T.
Absolutely none of my black (or south of the border American) friends or acquaintances use either 'African American" or "People of color" (or "Hispanic")...there's lots of black and lots of white, but nary a single "English American" (or "Brown") in the mix.
If media, politicians, and academia got out of the way maybe we mere mortals could make some progress.
If the term n***a is so racially pejorative, why do blacks keep using it as a term of endearment between themselves?
If its wrong, it ought to be wrong for every one to use it. But when black racists carve out a special exemption for themselves, they don’t really mean it.
And if they themselves think there’s nothing bad about it, there’s no reason for whites to refrain from addressing them as they’re accustomed to.
My point being if we’re going to be honest about race in this country, its high past time to skip the politically correct BS censorship, including on FR.
I will be not be censored on account of black racists’ own hypocrisy about language.
