Default Re: Let's Leave Out The Racist Posts

Couple things.

1. Slave is right. If the race of the person is not the subject, who cares, as long as you aren't using a racial slur it should not be offensive

number two is just something I want to rant about.

2. I understand that the term African-American is supposed to be PC, but, as a black man I find the term African American offensive. I am not from Africa, I am from Omaha. I am an American. A black one yes but just an American all the same. I do not go around specifying the coutry of origin for all whites do I. Why is it only those with identifyable racial features are tagged with another contry before saying they are American. ie chineese-American, Mexican-American? You call that PC. I don't.

thank you Rant done
