I got all intellectual thug on your ass... sorry.:oops:

Who you calling asian?

The use of African-American to describe black Americans is a mostly white manifestation. Sure in the late 1980s and early 1990s there was a big "Back to Africa" craze where blacks got into touch with their heritage and invented Kwanza, but the use of the term is very much a force of white...

Generally, you want to make that person feel inferior. I personally, don't feel that way toward people, but a lot of folks do. A true racist actually believes that black people, jews, arabs, whatever are inferior to him. Sometimes people use racist remarks to just hurt someone, but don't...

Oh ok. I think Very and I worked out an answer for you.

Considering that even in Europe people of color have been looked down as inferior to whites. Add in the coming from Africa thing and the logical insult is to call blacks monkeys.

There we go fellows.

Oh gosh are you guys serious right now or are you just playing around?

Sure, but you can't make fun of black people by calling them niggers. I mean you can, but understand that your actions come with consequences.

By movie I mean all that stuff. I guess dramatic media covers it..

1) I think the best thing people can do is not call Americans racist names and be surprised when they freak out. I wouldn't tell a German or a Jew that the Holocaust or WWII wasn't a big deal. Same thing with telling a Belgian "Good job in the Congo". Or saying to a Serb "Hey man way to wipe...

Only if you're black or it's in a movie.

Correct.

Yeah, but don't say it demeaningly or yell "hey you! black!".

Yep. Black people is 'all good'. They even have BET (Black Entertainment Television). There has been a bit of a black empowerment movement in the last 15 years. 'African American' is for use if black people make you feel uncomfortable.

It must include 'people' after though.

Black is now the preferred term among African-Americans because most of them have never been to Africa. Just don't say black in a Rhodesian or South African accent.:D Don't feel like I'm talking down to you because I'm not. I just didn't think you understood. Europeans tend to...

And in Europe you go to jail for denying the Holocaust.

I would assume so, but who knows.

It isn't something I'd expect you to understand. Like I said earlier, racism is something Europeans will never really feel to strongly about. I mean none of you have really ever punished a group of people (in your own country) just because of their skin color. When you make a mistake like...
