[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 436605, member: 2846"] Did you hear about the black Wisconsin congressman who demanded an apology from the white congressman by characterizing an issue as a 'black hole'? Either he had no clue about astronomy or he was an as$hole. Regardless, he owes the white guy an apology for somehow contriving the situation to be racist attack. True story. I was on a date a couple of years ago and I got to meet her friends. I told a story about my days in Africa and germane to story was about black Africans and white Africans in Africa. Every time I said 'blacks' one of the gals recoiled. At the end she spoke up and informed me that they wanted to be called 'African Americans'. I just knew it was coming but started laughing. Guess it was funny that this 32 yo white girl chose to speak on behalf of all black people. I was able to utter "no, they don't" in between my laughs; at which point she blew up and raised her voice. Her friend helped her understand, "they aren't Americans, they live in Tanzania. And the whites are Africans also." My point - people need to lighten up. Anyhow, the way I see it is that some racism is socially accepted and actually encouraged in this country and until that ends - well, you just have to accept it. [/QUOTE]
