does anyone else think the term "african-american" is stupid?

You could just use that persons name. If you don't know it then simply ask him/her.

Enough with this stupid labeling!

hmmm, stupid labeling?? what is Human Being, isn't that a label?? why not say Living organism? oh wait that's a label too. what about an "existence"? hmmm, is that a label??

labels themselves aren't wrong, it's how SOME labels are perceived. "niger" is a label that has some really strong and bad connotation to it. "black" people, is that a bad label or a descriptive one? are all descriptive label's bad? what if someone called me a "fat" person? would that be a STUPID label or a factual label? can something be both STUPID and Descriptive?

Would a 'Niger' be someone from Nigeria?

no it's me thinking that "n1gger" would be a banned word and intentionally misspelling it so that i wouldn't have to be hit with the "You have used a banned word message" etc. i figured 90% of aters would recognize the attempt.

Lol, it was a joke in regards to the homosexual references. But I do think that white people are getting the shaft with everyone crying for retribution of what happened several years ago that most of them didn't even see with their own eyes.

You know what? I'm sick to death of white people (who by far have things the best here in the US) whining about "getting the shaft". You and the rest of your pasty bretheren have the majority of good jobs, money, political power and opportunity in this country. If you can't realize your own version of The American Dream, it's because you're either too lazy, or too busy complaining about "getting the shaft". Both terribly ironic since these are the typical accusations leveled at the minorities you so despise.

That's because whites are the majority.
