17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in white suburbia?

I don't believe in the concept of race. It is another device, like religion to pit man against man. But as long as the liberals want to push race bating, I will continue to play along re-writing the rules as I go, to ridicule this crap. As a white man, I am proud to say that I have never referred to a black person as an african-american, I have never gotten sucked into that BS, as there is no such thing as a hyphenated person. The fact that black people want to play this game of being watered down nationals amazes me. First it was negroes, then colored, then black, then I got off the bus.....and they continued to redefine themselves. Well good for them.

Blacks didn't have the chance to make that choice, remember?

And if we're all Americans, shouldn't we be treated equally? I mean, that's what the Constitution says, doesn't it?

YOU don't accept them as white? And who appointed you the arbiter of whitedom? (for reference: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/arbiter)

If the Hispanic community makes a formal petition to the UN to be considered white, then I might consider including therm.

If you don't believe in the concept of race why are you pronouncing yourself 'white' and bandying about terms like Hispanic and making pronouncements about who you consider to be white or non-white? You seem confused......

Well, although I do not accept african-american as a label, I understand the roots behind it. Normally, a foreigner hypenhates for the first generation. Say Irish-american, then their offspring is referred to (if they wish) as americans of irish decent. For the decendents of slaves, who lack a national identity, they are forever in limbo, doomed to be hyphenated, like a ghost searching for their lost love. I choose not to accept black people as citizens held hostage to their past, so I will not play along. What really galls me is the disingenious of a black man who did not originate from the slave trade, who chooses such a monicker. For example, Obama, who can refer to himself as either a Kenyan American or American of Kenyan descent. He only refers to himself as an african american fraudulently claiming slave heritage that he is not qualified to claim.

Far from it, this thread only exists because of racism, merely playing along with the liberal bullshit.

Everytime I hear a black person be referred to, or refer to himself as an african american, I wince. What really is being said is, "hey, look at me, my forbears were slaves, please give me the deference and respect I deserve".

I say, fuck you, and the boat your forbears sailed in on. Get over it asshole, and man up.

[trish]

Yeah, fuck that slave boat. Fuck all those fucking slave boats. While you're at fuck the slavers too. African-Americans, Korean-Americans, Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans...we're here, we're free and we call ourselves as we please. Get over it twit.

I have been over it a long time, never resorting to hyphenated mealy mouth BS. And, stop commenting on my comments. I have strictly forbidden you. Remember?

Oh but Robert, Spain is in Europe and don't you know that in Europe EVERYONE is white!?!?!

Heartening sight in Kettering the other day, a typical Midlands town: a table with four teenagers, one black, one Asian (that means from the sub-continent in UK terms) one Chinese, one white, all having a ball and clearly good friends. A lot of kids here seem oblivious of colour; the older generation could learn a lot from them. They're much the same with gays. It gives you hope for the future.
