[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 547795, member: 484"] Thats interesting. We have someone that once again is speaking on the behalf of several million people about preferences. I have many "African Americans" that I work around and with, that refer to each other by terms that would get a white person in trouble or arrested should they use the same terms. The very fact that you feel like you have to clarify "American" to me is racist. More than likely, you were born here, not Africa. So that makes you American 100%. Now me on the other hand, I was not born here, so that would make me "fill in the blank American" and the term would be proper. So by the very fact you feel like you need to call yourself something else besides American just because of the color of your skin, in my view makes you a racist. Any person that wants to segment a population because of skin color, or highlight it or other differences is a racist. So that would make your statement a racist statement. But it seems like we have different rules that apply to different people, once again, dependent on skin color. d [/QUOTE]
