sorry for assuming that you were bright enough to recognize an opinion without a bolded statement "hear ye, hear ye, the following is my opinion" declaring it as such


Ah, so you admit that you just made that retarded nonsense up.

I see you still have nothing to refute/rebutt my opinion.

yeah, but these definitions keep changing and changing. take the "black" experience, for example.
at 1st, they were called "niggers" here. the pc crowd decided "nigger" was offensive. we then went to "colored". the coloreds were
happy with that. then some PC moron comes along and says....no..."colored" is offensive. we want the black man to be called "negro".
so then the black man was happy with that. and then another PC twerp comes along and says........no, "negro" is offensive.
then we went to "black". and the blacks were happy with that. but noooooooooooooo....then some driveling moron comes around and says
no...."black" is offensive. we then went to "african american"...whatever the hell that means.
sooooooooooooooooooo.......what's next? how long will it be before "african american" becomes offensive and we have to switch out again?



What I don't get is why can't we just be Americans? Africans, Asians, Italians, Irish, Mid Eastern, Latinos, etc....On and on. So......why is that some hot shot politican or some advocacy group took it upon themselves to call every ethic group by their territoral beginnings first attaching it to American? Why can't they just let us all be Americans and stop trying to forward some damn agenda designated to a certain group of people?

I am an American......And it doesn't matter one darn bit whether or not if I'm sporting purple polka dots and stripes all over myself. American is what I am. I'll die that way. Labeling people and grouping them into whatever sort of group the powers that be choose to toss us in, only serves to drive us all further apart. And when we continually hear of one group of the population that is being enabled, pampered, if you will, we tend to close our ears to it becoming immune to all the blabber. And resentment sets in. So........maybe it would better serve the country as a whole if we just called all Americans what they are. Americans. We can still love our origins. And our ethenticity. Those can never be taken from us.

If we just call each other Americans, we won't have anyway of describing each other. Human beings need categories to describe physical attributes. The problem is when we attach meaning to those categories.

Why would I bother refuting something that is known to be something you made up and pretended was real?

What's sad and pathetic is that the whole argument here could have easily been avoided if you'd have been honest and said, "I can't prove my claim because its just some bigotted nonsense I made up. The reason it looked like a claim of fact instead of an opinion is actually due to the fact that I'm utterly incompetent when it comes to communicating in the English language."

Instead you just acted like a spoiled child caught in a lie. Which, I guess, isn't too far form the truth considering you were caught in a lie.

Anyone who balks at the idea of providing verifiable evidence isn't worth anyone else's time on a debate forum. This thread was a lesson learned for me.

Be that as it may, so far it doesn't seem to be working out all that well other than forwarding some buttwads agenda. Whatever that may be. You can describe all you want. You just don't need to connect a label to the word American.
 
Nah, you should just stop assuming that you see everything.

I haven't...

You are assuming that I am assuming that Ive seen everything.
 
What I would like to know is why the PC crowd assumes all brown/black colored skin people have descended from the Continent of Africa.

What happens when a black person who does not have African Ancestry gets upset about being called "African-American"???

I hate that stupid ass term.....

I don't believe in hyphenated Americans.
 
I don't believe in hyphenated Americans.

Me neither.... Ive said this many many times in this forum over the last few years.

I think someone called me a racist for it once....

.

the only truth in your entire post. nice to see you finally admit your incompetence
 
Ok, I'll bite. What's wrong with eating potatoes? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Nothing, unless you're eating nothing but potatoes because you spent your whole paycheck on whiskey.

I don't believe in hyphenated Americans either. On the either hand, what is "brown", "black", "yellow", etc.? I'm looking at a black marker right now... THIS is black. I think I've only seen a few people in my life who match this shade!

The concept of classifying people by skin color is so foreign to me that when I have to stop and think about it, I don't understand it. I mean... look at white people - we're not really white. Look at a cloud on a sunny day - THAT is white, or white sugar. White people are more pink if anything.

Bah, I'll never understand it.

The concept is foreign to you? Have you never described a person before?
 
And what exactly is that?

An honest, hard working, law abiding citizen that isn't feeling sorry for himself and waiting for a handout, because I feel like someone owes me something.
 
Cool, and the fact that your ancestors were slaves has what to do with what you are now? Why bother bringing it up at all?

I didn't. Haymarket did.

I was thinking the same thing.....

I hate to imagine how little information the police would have to go on if Temporal had to describe the individual who put a gun in their face and demanded their money before pistol whipping them and running down the street.
