Only problem with you Freak, it's not your job to decide who's human and who is not. It's God's, the Highest Power, the Creator's. But it's your right to withdraw from humanity. That's your prerogative, God allows you to and sends you to hell for just saying you'll destroy His people. So since you've chosen to, off you go now to the fire pit.

You are insulting the Gorilla. Africans are not that noble a creature. They are more like disgusting little spider monkeys.

Spider monkeys never made a world war. They never did any stuff you people do to each other. Like those means things your people did to you, remember? Are the insults soothing your pain? Maybe you should go back to your doctor and get back on those pills?

Why I'm Black, Not African American
September 8, 2004
By John H Mc Whorter
It's time we descendants of slaves brought to the United States let go of the term "African American" and go back to calling ourselves Black - with a capital B.
M
Living descendants of slaves in America neither knew their African ancestors nor even have elder relatives who knew them. Most of us worship in Christian churches. Our cuisine is more southern U.S. than Senegalese. Starting with ragtime and jazz, we gave America intoxicating musical beats based on African conceptions of rhythm, but with melody and harmony based on Western traditions.
Also, we speak English. Black Americans' home speech is largely based on local dialects of England and Ireland. Africa echoes in the dialect only as a whisper, in certain aspects of sound and melody. A working-class black man in Cincinnati has more in common with a working-class white man in Providence than with a Ghanaian.
With the number of African immigrants in the U.S. nearly tripling since 1990, the use of "African American" is becoming increasingly strained. Ffound the U.S. to be the Land of Oz.
We are not African to any meaningful extent, but we are not white either - and that is much of why Jesse Jackson's presentation of the term "African American" caught on so fast. It sets us apart from the mainstream. It carries an air of standing protest, a reminder that our ancestors were brought here against their will, that their descendants were treated like animals for centuries, and that we have come a long way since then.
But we need a way of sounding those notes with a term that, first, makes some sense and, second, does not insult the actual African Americans taking their place in our country. And our name must also celebrate our history here, in the only place that will ever be our home. To term ourselves as part "African" reinforces a sad implication: that our history is basically slave ships, plantations, lynching, fire hoses in Birmingham, and then South Central, and that we need to look back to Mother Africa to feel good about ourselves.
But what about the black business districts that thrived across the country after slavery was abolished? What about Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. Du Bois, Gwendolyn Brooks, Richard Wright and Thurgood Marshall, none born in Africa and all deeply American people? And while we're on Marshall, what about the civil rights revolution, a moral awakening that we gave to ourselves and the nation. My roots trace back to working-class Black people - Americans, not foreigners - and I'm proud of it. I am John Hamilton McWhorter the Fifth. Four men with my name and appearance, doing their best in a segregated America, came before me. They and their dearest are the heritage that I can feel in my heart, and they knew the sidewalks of Philadelphia and Atlanta, not Sierra Leone.
So, we will have a name for ourselves - and it should be Black. "Colored" and "Negro" had their good points but carry a whiff of Plessy vs. Ferguson and Bull Connor about them, so we will let them lie. "Black" isn't perfect, but no term is.
Meanwhile, the special value of "Black" is that it carries the same potent combination of pride, remembrance and regret that "African American" was designed for. Think of what James Brown meant with "Say it loud, I'm Black and I'm proud." And then imagine: "Say it loud, I'm African American and I'm proud."
Since the late 1980s, I have gone along with using "African American" for the same reason that we throw rice at a bride - because everybody else was doing it. But no more. From now on, in my writings on race I will be returning to the word I grew up with, which reminds me of my true self and my ancestors who worked here to help make my life possible: Black.

Moslem slave raiders (the Barack Hussein Obama types) went into the interior and kidnapped primitive monkey-men to sell to slave ships on the coast.
There were certainly no caucasians in the jungle. The Africans are not dumb though. They did export the most backwards, primitive and savage elements of their society (and at a profit). The dumb-asses were the buyers.

White people are white (or light brown), black people are black (dark brown). In Dominican Republic, you can say to somebody "Negro" if you know him, or if you are half-half. You can say "Moreno" with no insult. White people would be "Rubio". There is not racism in Dominican Republic, except to Haitian black population. Even black Dominicans can be racists against black Haitians. White people have best jobs and education, Indian color "Moreno" there are three levels: Indio Claro (almost white), Moreno y Moreno oscuro (dark indian), black - one level only. In the ID of each Dominican you can find same information.
And another time, there is not racism in Dominican Republic, even if you declare who is who. You can not hide your own color, not everybody are Michael Jackson. WE ARE NOT ALL EQUAL.
Mostly racism is connected with male problem with small penis, according to psychologists.

More racial propaganda BS. Psychologists that say that are either black or hung and has a fetish with dicks.

[Black-Cuban_Mami]

can we share blood across 'racial' lines as long as the blood is a match? the answer is yes.

we can't share blood with a dog.

can we share vital organs if there is a match?

the answer is once again yes.

can ALL humans intermix and produce viable offspring?

the answer is once again yes.

we're all equal and all human.

when someone can show me evidence of an infra-subspecies of Homo sapiens sapiens (humans) then i will retract my assertions.

otherwise everything is largely phenotypical.

this topic is old already.

can you get a blood transfusion from a goldfish?

odds are no, unless you're a goldfish.

GREENWAVE ARE YOU THE ONE WHO PUT THAT SHIT OUT THERE FOR PEOPLE TO SPECULATE?

Isn't it fantastic!!?!!!

Who gets affended by being called black?

Last I checked even a few celebrities (Morgan Freeman) prefer to be called Black American over African American.

African American is just the most accurate/appropriate description, technically.

That is very familiar to what radical feminists used to program american women.

Not sure we are Americans of African decent, but culturally were not Africans.
We need a name that covers both bases without bringing us into this confusion with African immigrants also preferred to be called African Americans. To me black is fine, its a very strong color but because the negative meanings that whites have associated with the word black, people tend to find it offensive. Black friday, Black magic, Black-out, black ball, black mail, black sheep, spade, its all psychological. I can go deeper, look at all the names we've been called here in america all have some form of negative meaning to associate with black race. We just gotta flip the script, to keep changing the name of who we are is makin us look kinda confused. We are black people of African decent period there is nothing wrong with the color black but the wrong they gave to it.
