I am old enough to remember the old Black/Negro argument.
I looked up Negro in my dictionary. It is from Latin. It means Black. Black comes from Anglo-Saxon.
The problem is people get emotional about words. We are supposed to argue about which HONKY LANGUAGE we are called by. I thought it was dumb when I was in 10th grade.
It is this African-American crap that bothers me. Too many syllables. I am supposed to give a damn about being American? The stupid White people in this so called CAPITALIST country can't even teach accounting to all of the White kids even though they say double-entry accounting was invented in Italy 700 years ago. Isn't this country named after an Italian?
Equality means being as Dumb as White Folks.
