    It implies that it brings "colour into the argument"? First of all, what argument?
    no, he'd probably look at you kind of funny waiting for you to slip up again so he can hit you

      No wonder Puerto Rico is a 2nd world country with an education system like that. You have to be the dumbest kid person alive.

      So what!! if the Majority of Africans are black.

      That dont mean you pigeon hole every black American as African-American.....that is even more ******ed.

            The term African-American is not used to describe someone's race. Nor is it used to describe someone's skin colour, that's what the word "black" is for.

            IT IS USED TO DESCRIBE A COMMON GROUP OF PEOPLE FOR THE LAST ****ING TIME.

            No wonder Puerto Rico is a 2nd world country with an education system like that. You have to be the dumbest kid person alive.

                This post confirms that you simply didn't understand my post, or what I've been trying to say for the past half hour.

                  btw I didn't get to reply to you earlier. Irish Mickey Ward isn't well known at all in Ireland, it's Irish-Americans who like him. He'd be known as a plastic paddy in Ireland (if they ever took any notice of him. Barry McGuigan was a popular genuine Irish fighter who they took to their hearts.

                    Specifically it is referred to the sub-Saharan regions of Africa. Which I pointed it in my very first post in this thread.

                      I have something that's going to blow your mind.

                      Not all Africans (people born in Africa) have a predominantly African Ancestry.
