    Its a never ending circle baby.
    WTF that is a crazy analogy. I dont give two **** what one black man says to another and i dont have an uncontrollable urge to wanna say the N word because one black guy says it to another.

    I dont have a clue what you going on about.

      Furthermore, when being black in america was terrible, white people generally wanted the distinction of African American. But when a Blck person is looked at as great, then they don't want the seperation. They don't want the African part to get credit. Ive heard people sa Tiger woods isn't black, yet every kid that looks like him on the streets is looked at as Black. But Tiger no he's the best golfer in the world, hes not Black, hes bulasian. Dark skinned people on the streets are black or african american, but if you do something special, all of a sudden they want to know your roots to prove your not just black. Pisses me off.

          I do understand the need to grasp roots in a way but I often wonder where are the English-Americans?

          Is it only the disaffected groups who reach for their ancestry?

                I am amazed that this thread got to this point.

                It was made as a joke to be equally ridiculous in response to the Cotto thread.

                Not that I was defending anything about Cotto or what was being said.

                It was just to parody the ******ity of the question which has no real value.

                Fine if dude was honestly curious, but it was hilarious what that thread turned into.

                Same with this one.

                  This argument would actually have some merit if ***** wasn't considered the first black president instead of bi-racial. Even tho that is what he is. No body claims woods isn't black so I don't know where you get that from.

                      which term?
