[QUOTE="Cementups, post: 547925, member: 8590"] i find this all odd, just because i was raised in a some what prejudiced household. My dad was pretty prejudiced. He would be ok with a few minorities while talking to their face but behind closed doors he would let the N-word go (or whatever description to the particular race at hand). My dad would go as far as saying that he would not watch a movie if it starred or featured black people. Funny thing was that one of his favorite movies had been I'm Gonn'a Getcha Sucker. My dad used to even tell me as I was getting into my teens that if i were to ever bring home a black girl that she better have a change of address card with her since i would be looking for a new place to live shortly there after. My brother too is s bit of a racist. I think for my brother and my dad part of it came from being State Troopers. They would end up seing the sterotypical bad things that people of ethnic background would do without even putting into perspective that white people do stupid things as well and break the law. I have admittedly, in the past, let some of my ignorance slip but nothing as far as pointing a finger and referring to someone inappropriately. And as far referrring to black people as black that seems to be the general consenus of all the black people that I have ever been friends with throughout the years. when asked if they would prefer the term African-american all of them told me no, they had never been to Africa.
